Patent number: 10721638Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for testing mobile terminals in an OFDMA system, in which all or part of available downlink radio resources in a cell are transmitted. A processing unit in a test apparatus splits a set of contiguous resource blocks into separate contiguous portions. A first contiguous portion of the set of resource blocks is allocated to users of a first type, and a second contiguous portion of the set of resource blocks is allocated to users of a second type. A transmitter in the test apparatus transmits test signals to the users of the first type and the second type using the at least one contiguous set of resource blocks.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Muhammad Ali Kazmi, Joakim Axmon, Christian Bergljung, Farshid Ghasemzadeh, Walter Gerhard Alois Müller

Patent number: 9445339Abstract: The invention relates to a method for supporting cell change between frequency layers. The method is performed in a Radio Network node of a wireless communication network deploying two frequency layers. The Radio Network node serves a User Equipment in a cell of a first of the two frequency layers. The User Equipment is configured to perform measurements on the first frequency layer, and to exclude measurements on a second of the two frequency layers. The method comprises receiving information from the User Equipment related to a coverage of a target cell of the second frequency layer, and determining whether to change to the target cell based on the received information.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Joakim Axmon, Muhammad Ali Kazmi, Walter Gerhard Alois Müller

Patent number: 9191851Abstract: A telecommunications node (28) comprises a communication interface (36) and a parameter controller (40). The node (28) acquires timing advance (TA) information and angle of arrival (AoA) information through the communication interface (36). The timing advance (TA) information and angle of arrival (AoA) information are based on uplink signals received over a radio interface (32) from one or more wireless terminals (30) that are involved or have been involved in handover. The parameter controller (40) uses the timing advance (TA) information and the angle of arrival (AoA) information to make a determination of size and shape of a cell of a radio access network.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Oumer Teyeb, Angelo Centonza, Muhammad Ali Kazmi, Gunnar Mildh, Walter Gerhard Alois Müller

Patent number: 8892103Abstract: The invention relates to a method for supporting cell change between frequency layers. The method is performed in a UE and/or a RN node of a wireless communication network deploying two frequency layers. The RN node serves a UE in a cell of a first of the two frequency layers. The UE is configured to perform measurements on the first frequency layer, and to exclude measurements on a second of the two frequency layers. The method comprises receiving (610) measurement results from the UE, for measurements performed on a cell of the first frequency layer, determining (620) a location of the UE based on the measurement results, assessing (630) a coverage of a target cell of the second frequency layer based on the location and a coverage map for the two frequency layers, and determining (640) whether to change to the target cell based on the assessment.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Joakim Axmon, Muhammad Ali Kazmi, Walter Gerhard Alois Müller
