Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for power control using uplink coordinated multi-point transmission in a wireless communications system are provided. Using a first node, at least one second node configured to provide an uplink support to user equipment communicating with the first node is detected. The first node receives a confirmation from the second node indicating availability of uplink support by the second node to the user equipment. Based on the received confirmation, communicating with the user equipment on an uplink using the second node is established.

Abstract: There is provided a method and devices for dynamically controlling transmission of communications in a wireless network, which comprises a managing entity and a managed entity that communicate which each other. The managed entity transmits updating information that includes indications of current resources available thereat and/or indications that relate to the reception of communications transmitted by the managing entity. A reporting rate for transmitting the updating information by the managed entity to the managing entity is then determined, and based on the reporting rate that has been determined—modifying, if required, parameters associated with the wireless link extending between the two entities so as to affect changes in the operating conditions at one or both of these entities.

Abstract: A method for carrying out a handover of servicing a mobile terminal from a currently serving base station to another base station in a cellular network, comprising the following steps. The currently serving base transmits information associated with the mobile terminal to one or more of its neighboring base stations. The neighboring station(s) respond by providing the serving base station with information related to the quality at which they are able to receive communications from the mobile terminal. Based on the responses received from the neighboring base stations, the serving base station selects which of its neighboring base stations will be the target base station for the mobile terminal. Upon selecting the target base station, a handover procedure is carried out, following which, the mobile terminal will receive and transmit communications via that target base station.
