摘要:
The embodiments relate to a method and a base station (110) for interference management in a cellular network (100) employing Space-Division uplink (UL) downlink (DL) Duplexing (SDD). The base station (110) assigns a plurality of Remote Radio Units (RRU) as Tx RRUs operable to dedicatedly transmit downlink signals to a plurality of UEs and Rx RRUs operable to dedicatedly receive uplink signals from the plurality of UEs at the same frequency band and same time as the transmission of the Tx RRUs. The base station then suppresses the interference caused by simultaneous transmission on the same frequency band by using a Tx spatial beamforming weighting matrix and a Rx spatial beamforming weighting matrix. In addition, the base station may perform cross-talk cancellation on the residual interference contained in the received signals by using the knowledge of the downlink traffic data.

摘要:
A first radio network node (110) and a method therein for measuring interference as well as a second radio network node (120) and a method therein for enabling the first radio network node to measure interference are disclosed. The first radio network node (110) obtains (201) configuration information for indicating a designated subframe in which a reference signal for measurement of the interference is to be transmitted by the second radio network node (120). The second radio network node (120) obtains (202) configuration information for configuring a designed subframe for transmission of a reference signal. The first radio network node (110) receives (205), in the designated subframe indicated by the configuration information, the reference signal transmitted by the second radio network node (120). The first radio network node (110) determines (206) a value of the interference based on the reference signal.

The present invention discloses a node for transmission mode switching for downlink transmission in a downlink channel (100), comprising: a configuring unit (110) adapted to configure an initial transmission mode for the downlink transmission as a default transmission mode; a deriving unit (120) adapted to derive channel quality metric (CQM) of the downlink channel; a first determining unit (130) adapted to determine a first predefined threshold on the basis of link level simulation of a first transmission mode and a second transmission mode; and a first switching unit (140) adapted to switch the transmission mode from the initial transmission mode to the first transmission mode or the second transmission mode on the basis of the CQM and the first predefined threshold. The present invention provides a simple, direct and efficient approach for transmission mode switching for downlink transmission in a downlink channel on the basis of available feedback from UE (or other kinds of terminals if appropriate) and/or link adaptation decisions from eNB (or other kinds of base stations if appropriate), provides high peak rate while maintaining cell coverage, and provides a proprietary solution without any impact on protocol/standard or UE implementation.

摘要:
A method and a base station for phase compensation in beamforming in a multi-antenna Time Division Duplex (TDD) communication network. In a first transmission mode, the base station estimates a first phase shift between a first antenna port and a reference antenna port in uplink based on a measurement of a first Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). Then the base station estimates in the first transmission mode a second phase shift between the first antenna port and the reference antenna port in downlink based on a Channel State Information (CSI) feedback from a User Equipment (UE), and calculates a parameter indicative of a difference between the first phase shift and the second phase shift.
