  • Patent number: 8929941
    Abstract: In a cellular radio system the power control status of a mobile station is used in the base stations to generate power control commands. Hereby a radio base station can select a power control method that is optimal for the situation at hand. This is obtained by communicating power control status to base stations or deriving power control status in a radio base station. The radio base station is adapted to select power control method based on the power control status. Thus, a base station can select the most suitable power control improvement method, even during soft handover, thereby making make use of the advantages of different types of power control improvement methods.

  • Publication number: 20140153478
    Abstract: A method of supporting frequency-selective repeaters (eNodeRs) in a wireless telecommunication system. A base station (eNodeB) classifies User Equipments (UEs) into two categories or lists of users: a white list containing UEs that may need the assistance of repeaters, and a black list containing UEs that do not need repeater assistance. The eNodeB transmits one of these two lists to the eNodeRs. The eNodeRs do not amplify resource blocks (RBs) scheduled for black list UEs. Each repeater may decide on its own whether to amplify signals for a non-black list UE by measuring signals from the UE and comparing them with predefined criteria.

  • Publication number: 20140071815
    Abstract: A wireless terminal comprises a communications interface and a congestion controller. The communications interface communicates over a radio interface with a base station. The congestion controller, upon occurrence of a congestion indication, reduces uplink transmission power of the wireless terminal by lowering a transport format combination for use by the wireless terminal for transmitting an enhanced dedicated uplink channel (E-DCH) over the radio interface to the base station. In an example embodiment and mode, the congestion controller performs an expedited transport format combination reduction procedure which is distinct from Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) power reduction based on a command received in a closed loop power control procedure, e.g., on a Fractional-DPCH (F-DPCH) channel.

  • Patent number: 8634842
    Abstract: A method of allocating radio resources to communication links of a wireless communication system based on status parameters of each of the links, the communication system having a plurality of network nodes, a plurality of relays associated with the network nodes, and a terminal accessing the communication system. A first radio resource allocation may be determined by balancing the performance of a relay-to-network-node communication link of each relay against the performance of a corresponding terminal-to-relay communication link. A second allocation may be determined by balancing the performance of the relay-to-network-node communication link of each relay against the performance of a terminal-to-network-node communication link. A final allocation may be determined by calculating a weighted average value of the first and second allocations.
