The invention relates to adjusting the shape of the antenna beam (20) of a directional antenna (120) in a communications system (1). According to the invention, the antenna beam (20) is divided into at least a handover beam sector (24) and a main beam sector (22). The shape of the at least two beam sectors (22; 24) are then adjusted based on different requirements and objectives. The shape of handover beam sector (24) is adjusted based on the handover parameter settings of the communications system (1), e.g. by adjusting the angular interval of this handover beam sector (24) based on the parameter settings. Optionally, the shape of the main beam sector (22) is adjusted by maximizing the antenna gain of the directional antenna (120) within this beam sector (22).

A method and arrangement for enabling communication of data between a UE and a first base station in a cellular communication network further comprising the second base station, and the second base station is connected to the first base station via a communication interface. A scheduling request is received from the first base station. The scheduling request is based on a suggested scheduling which is determined by the first base station, and the suggested scheduling concerns the communication of data. Scheduling information is determined based on the scheduling request, and the scheduling information is transmitted to the UE. By determining a suggested scheduling in a micro base station, but transmitting scheduling information from an overlaying macro base station, local awareness of communication conditions may be applied, and interferences from neighboring micro base stations may be decreased.

The invention relates to a method in a base station for handling a request from a user equipment for accessing a service in a radio communications network, the method comprising the steps of receiving a first wide time interval (305) of an incoming signal (300) comprising a first signal sent from the user equipment, the first signal extending along a first narrow time interval (310) being a part of the first wide time interval, the first narrow time interval of the first signal being a possible service access request message; searching the first wide time interval (305) and detecting that the first signal is a possible service access request message; and identifying how the first narrow time interval (310) of the first signal relates to the first wide time interval (305). The relationship will be the same for subsequent time intervals of the incoming signal (300).

A base station and method are described herein that improves the coverage in a fixed-beam wireless communication system by using antenna beam-jitter and Channel Quality Information (CQI) correction. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of: (a) modifying a beam by introducing a beam-jitter in a beam-forming pattern; (b) receiving an estimated channel quality information, CQI, from a user terminal; (c) accounting for effects of the beam jitter on the estimated CQI to obtain a jitter-adjusted CQI estimate; (d) and using the jitter-adjusted CQI estimate during user scheduling for a future transmission to the user terminal.

The object of the present invention is to distribute the transmission of the CSI (Channel state information) reports among the different UEs, wherein the CSI reports are based on measurements on cell specific reference signals from the base station. This is achieved in a LTE cellular communication network by controlling the transmission of CSI reports from the UEs.
