Abstract: It is disclosed a method for supporting a machine-to-machine communication over a mobile communication network. The communication involves machine-to-machine devices that connect to the mobile communication network through a gateway including a transceiver module to connect to the mobile communication network over a radio link. The method includes determining whether a radio carrier is present over the radio link, and in the absence of the radio carrier, switching off the transceiver module for a first time period. After the first time period elapsed, the transceiver module is switched on for a second time period. The method further includes, after the second time period elapsed, repeating steps above. The first time period and the second time period are determined on the basis of a number of parameters whose value depend on at least one set of values provided to the gateway by the mobile communication network.

Abstract: A method is proposed for scheduling, in a radio mobile network, serving cell/radio resource allocation pairs for transmission of data flows using Carrier Aggregation. Each serving cell/radio resource allocation pair includes a serving cell and a radio resource thereof allocated for transmission of data flows using Carrier Aggregation. At each scheduling period the method determines active data flows whose transmission is not yet completed at the current scheduling period, and performs a series of steps for each active data flow.

Abstract: A wireless communication network including a first transceiver station for transmitting first signals over a first area coverage and over a first transmission bandwidth, and a second transceiver station selectively activatable/de-activatable. The second transceiver station is operable to broadcast, when de-activated, a beacon signal identifying the second transceiver station, the beacon signal having a beacon frequency at edges of the first transmission bandwidth. The beacon signal is detectable by a user equipment for inferring presence of the second transceiver station. The first transceiver station is configured to receive a response signal from a user equipment based on the detected beacon signal, and to schedule activation of the second transceiver station based on the received response signal.

Abstract: A method for managing a full duplex mobile telecommunication network includes providing a coordination unit of a set of base stations, and having the coordination unit group a plurality of user equipment served by said base stations to form corresponding user groups. Each user group includes a group of user equipment which are close to each other by an extent such to cause potential user equipment to user equipment interference. The method also includes having the coordination unit allocate radio resources for at least one between transmissions from user equipment to base stations, and transmissions from base stations to user equipment. The method further includes having each base station carrying out at least receiving transmissions from at least one served user equipment, and sending transmissions to at least one served user equipment by exploiting the allocated radio resources.

Abstract: A method for a wireless network, including a node and a first device covered by the node, the node acting as serving node for the first device, and the first device transmitting first data to the node over a first link, includes determining presence of a second device covered by the node, the second device transmitting second data to a serving node over a second link, determining radio quality of the first link, determining radio quality of the second link, and determining radio quality of a third link between the second device and the first device. If the radio quality of the third link is higher than the radio quality of the second link, the second device transmits the second data to the first device over the third link and the first device retransmits, over the first link, the second data to the node.

Abstract: A method for managing a full duplex mobile telecommunication network, includes measuring power of uplink and down link transmission from adjacent base stations and a user equipment, respectively. The method also includes comparing the measured powers of the uplink and downlink transmission, and if the power of the uplink transmission is lower than the power of the downlink transmission, the base station allocates dedicated uplink resources to the uplink transmission. The dedicated uplink resources are radio resources reserved only for uplink transmissions and are not usable for downlink transmissions. The dedicated uplink resources are assigned to the user equipment.
