Patent number: 9236920Abstract: For each base station of K base stations of a cellular communications network a maximum number of wanted data streams per carrier is decided that is to be scheduled to a terminal accessing the cellular communications network. The terminal has NR receive antennas and K is an integer equal to or greater than two. Information regarding the decision is signaled to at least one of the K base stations.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Patrick Marsch, Hans Thomas Hoehne, Krystian Pawlak

Patent number: 9119084Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and a base station for coordinating cell interference. The method includes: receiving each backhaul signal transmitted by each cooperative base station, where the backhaul signal is determined by the cooperative base station according to strength of a signal received from a served user and strength of a signal received by a serving base station from an interfering user in the cooperative base station; and combining, at different stages of baseband processing and according to a type of each backhaul signal, a backhaul signal of a corresponding type and a user signal received from each user. An embodiment of the present invention further provides a base station. According to the embodiments of the present invention, backhaul transmission capacity is maximally utilized, backhaul transmission efficiency is improved, and relatively high performance is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2013Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Ni Ma, Qunfang Lou, Michael Grieger, Patrick Marsch

Patent number: 8693966Abstract: A method for filtering out a useful signal of a mobile radio terminal from a plurality of superimposed signals having a signal quality received by base stations in a cellular mobile radio network. The superimposed signal of the mobile radio terminal is detected by base stations that are reached and the signal quality of the received and superimposed signal of every base station reached is determined. The signal quality of a selected base station is then transmitted to a decision element and a selection of a selected base station is made by the decision element to decode the useful signal of the mobile radio terminal. The invention also relates to a device for filtering out a useful signal of a mobile radio terminal from a plurality of superimposed signals received by base stations in a cellular mobile radio network.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2010Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Vodafone Holding GmbHInventors: Shahid Khattak, Patrick Marsch, Peter Rost

Patent number: 8422554Abstract: A method for decoding a wireless transmission in a communication system, particularly for mobile communications, comprising a plurality of receiver stations communicatively coupled to a common decoder station, wherein the receiver stations transmit digital representations of received user signals to the common decoding entity. These digital representations are initially transmitted to the common decoder station in coarse granularity, and in case the decoder station cannot decode the transmitted digital representations of one or multiple user signals, the decoder requests a refined digital representation of the received signals from at least one receiver station.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2010Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Vodafone Holding GmbHInventors: Patrick Marsch, Michael Grieger
