Abstract:
A gateway comprises a transceiver configured to receive a sequence of data packets on a Radio Access Bearer, RAB, from a core network, a processor configured to obtain a first distribution of the received sequence of data packets into a first sub-sequence of data packets and at least a second sub-sequence of data packets, wherein the transceiver is configured to forward the first sub-sequence of data packets on the RAB to a master access node, forward the second sub-sequence of data packets on the RAB to a secondary access node. The master access node comprises a processor, a transceiver configured to receive a first sub-sequence of data packets of a sequence of data packets carried by a RAB from a gateway, wherein the RAB is associated with a user device, and to forward at least one part of the first sub-sequence of data packets on the RAB to the user device.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for muting transmission from at least one network node in a wireless communication system, said wireless communication system comprising a plurality of network nodes (n=1, . . . , N) for providing access to user nodes. The method comprises, when transmission from a first network node (n) of said wireless communication system is to be muted: determining, for said first network node (n), a first portion of time (ρn) for muting transmission from said first network node (n) at least partly based on a first condition relating to at least one second network node (j); and based on said first portion of time (ρn), determining a first muting pattern for muting transmission from said first network node (n).
