    摘要: A method performed by abase station for handling network degradation in a wireless communications network is provided. The base station receives (201, IS1) from a first UE experiencing a network degradation, a determined type of the network degradation together with an estimated first Timing Advance, TA1, value. Based on the received TA1 value, the base station calculates (202, 1) a location, location X, associated with the network degradation. When a first location, location L1, of a second UE is at a distance from the location X that is below a second threshold, the base station decides (204, 2) a first decision to perform an action to restrain degrading influence from the location X. The first decision is based on the determined type of the network degradation. The base station sends (205, 2) to the second UE, the first decision to perform an action to restrain degrading influence from the location X.

    摘要: A method performed by a UE (102) that is being served by at least a first cell. The method includes the UE performing a multi round-trip-time, multi-RTT, positioning measurement (e.g., a UE Rx-Tx measurement), wherein the UE is configured with SRS for the measurement with respect to a second cell. The method also includes the UE detecting a need to change a serving cell. The method further includes, as a result of detecting the need to change a serving cell, the UE deciding whether to restart or continue performing the multi-RTT measurement. The UE is configured such that the UE continues the multi-RTT measurement if the serving cell change is for a cell different than the second cell in which the UE is configured with the SRS for the measurement.)

    摘要: A network node (18) transmits, to a wireless device (12), assistance data (20) that indicates a search window (26) which is associated with a beamforming configuration. The search window (26) associated with the beamforming configuration may be a window within which a result (28) of a positioning measurement performed by the wireless device (12) on a positioning signal (20A) is expected to be for the associated beamforming configuration. The wireless device (12) may check whether a result (28) of the performed positioning measurement falls within the indicated search window (26), and deem the result (28) valid or invalid depending respectively on whether or not the result (28) falls within the indicated search window (26) according to that checking.

    摘要: Methods and systems for signaling Supplementary Activity Configuration (SAC) for lean carrier operation are provided. According to one aspect, a method performed by a wireless device for lean carrier operation during which Cell-specific Reference Signals (CRSs) are transmitted by a base station using a reduced bandwidth during an inactive time of a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mode of operation excluding a Warm Up (WU) period that occurs immediately before a DRX active time and a Cool Down (CD) period that occurs immediately after a DRX active time, comprises: determining a number M of subframes to comprise a WU period; determining a number N of subframes to comprise a CD period; and transmitting an indication of the determined numbers M and N to a base station currently serving the wireless device.

    摘要: A method for state estimation of a UE connected to a wireless communication network, comprising obtaining (S1) of measurement information related to a 5 range-related measurement concerning a UE. The measurement information comprises data of the range-related measurement, a time at which the range-related measurement was performed, an identity of the UE and data enabling determination of a measuring position. The range-related measurement consists of data defining a distance between the UE and the measuring 10 position. A state estimation of the UE is performed (S2) based on the measurement information. Methods for propagating the measurement information through the network are also disclosed as well as network nodes performing such method. 15

    摘要: According to some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for detecting a downlink radio failure comprises: establishing a wireless connection with a network node using unlicensed radio spectrum; receiving an indication that the network node incurred a clear channel assessment (CCA) failure in a prior attempt to communicate with the wireless device; and in response to the indication of the CCA failure, determining whether to trigger a radio failure condition.
