20110076964 | Re-Activation of a Base Station in Standby Mode - The present invention relates to methods, apparatuses, a system and a computer program product for reducing a power consumption in low load scenarios. An apparatus can include transmitting means, receiving means and determining means for determining whether a signal quality of a broadcast channel of a wireless network cell is insufficient, wherein the transmitting means may transmit on a wireless access channel an activation information to a further apparatus if the determination is affirmative. The activation information can indicate that disabled transmitting means of the further apparatus should be re-enabled. The further apparatus may include transmitting means, receiving means disabling means for disabling the transmitting means and enabling means for re-enabling the transmitting means, wherein the receiving means can be configured to receive the activation in-formation, and wherein the enabling means may be configured to re-enable the transmitting means if the activation information is received. | 03-31-2011 |
20110092167 | Methods, Apparatuses, System, and Related Computer Program Product for Reference Signaling - It is disclosed a method including creating inquiry information related to an evaluation of at least one network terminal, and transmitting the created inquiry information in a long-range reference signal; a method including receiving the inquiry information in the long-range signal, establishing, based on the received inquiry information, report information related to a quality of the long-range reference signal, and transmitting the established report information; and a method including receiving the report information, and evaluating, based on the received report information, at least one network terminal. | 04-21-2011 |
20110096687 | Mechanism for Automated Re-Configuration of an Access Network Element - A mechanism for controlling resources and/or settings of an access network element like a base station is provided which allows an autonomous reconfiguration of, for example, the antenna configuration based on a set of performance indicators in a base station. The base station can reconfigure itself without the need of operator control so that during periods with low capacity demands the base station will reconfigure correspondingly, which may include a reduction of active cells by turning off the power for a part of the installed equipment. | 04-28-2011 |
20110223854 | Data Load Redistribution Within a Relay Enhanced Telecommunication Network - It is described a method for changing the data load distribution within a telecommunication network comprising including a first base station, a second base station and a relay node being connected to the first base station and/or to the second base station. The described method includes (a) establishing for each of a plurality of user equipments a first indirect connection to the first base station via the relay node, (b) establishing in a collective manner for each of the plurality of user equipments a second indirect connection to the second base station via the relay node, and (c) terminating in a collective manner for each of the plurality of user equipments the first indirect connection. It is further described a network element, which is adapted to carry out the above described data load redistribution method, and a computer program, which is adapted for controlling the above described data load redistribution method. | 09-15-2011 |
20110292799 | Handling of Overloads and Handovers in a Communications Network - The present invention refers to handling of an overload in a communications network and to handling of handovers occurring after the handling of handovers in the communications net work, wherein said communications network is based upon a tree topology providing several levels of nodes in said communications network. According to the present invention, in formation about an overload is provided through several levels of nodes in communications network, starting from the node, with regard to which said overload has occurred, and ending with nodes being located in levels arranged upside the level, in which the overload occurred, and being connected directly or indirectly with the node, with regard to which said overload has occurred. When handling a handover from a cell in a node, which is affected by the overload, the handover will be allowed only if the cell comprises at least one node, which is also affected by the overload. | 12-01-2011 |
20120309384 | Method for Controlling Interference in a Radio Communications System and Apparatus Thereof - Method and Apparatus thereof, for controlling intercell interference in a radio communications system having a plurality of user equipment and a plurality of access nodes including the steps of: a user equipment of said plurality connected to a serving access node, upon determining that an access node of said plurality is causing interference, transmitting a request to said serving access node; said serving access node forwarding said request to an apparatus controlling said interfering access node over an X2 interface, and said apparatus, instructing said interfering access node to execute said request. | 12-06-2012 |
20130189991 | Method for Self-Optimized Interworking Between Radio Access Networks - Method for self-optimized interworking between a first radio access network of a first type of radio access technology and a second radio access network of a second type of radio access technology. The first radio access network includes a first base station. The second radio access network includes a second base station. Measuring signals indicative for availability characteristics of the second base station, transmitting the signals indicative for the availability characteristics of the second base station from the user equipment to the first base station, generating a map of the coverage of the first and second radio access networks based on the signals indicative for the availability characteristics of the first and second base stations, wherein the map includes the information about the availability characteristics of the first and second base stations for interworking, and self-optimized interworking between the first and second base stations based on the map of coverage. | 07-25-2013 |
20130225177 | Method for Adapting a Parameter Being Indicative for a Trigger Signal - It is provided a method for adapting a parameter being indicative for a trigger signal for starting measurements, by a first base station of a first radio access network of a first type of radio access technology, of a signal quality of signals being received from a second base station of a second radio access network of a second type of radio access technology. The method includes measuring by a user equipment, which is served by the second base station, the signal quality of signals being received from the first base station, reporting a signal being indicative for the measured signal quality from the user equipment to a network entity, and adapting, by the network entity, a parameter based on the measured signal quality, wherein the parameter is indicative for a trigger signal for starting measuring a further signal quality of signals being received from the second base station. | 08-29-2013 |
