    摘要: Systems and methods relating to transmission and reception of a Random Access Response (RAR) message to a wireless device (e.g., a User Equipment (UE)) in a manner that is particularly well-suited for, but not limited to, reduced bandwidth devices, such as Machine Type Communication (MTC) devices, are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a wireless device to perform random access to a cellular communications network comprises transmitting a random access preamble on a physical random access channel and determining, from a random access preamble index of the random access preamble, one of a random access response resource and a channel to monitor for a transmission of an indication of the random access response resource. The method further comprises receiving a random access response on the random access response resource.

    摘要: A radio network node (12) communicates with user equipments, UEs, (10) over a radio interface and estimates one or more quality factors, associated with each of a first and second network, that depend on a load or an expected UE behavior or an uplink channel quality for one or both of first and second networks. The node (12) determines one or more network selection parameters based on the estimated one or more quality factors, and communicates the one or more network selection parameters to at least one UE (10) for enabling the UE to select one of the first and second networks for subsequent access by the at least one UE. The UE receives from the radio network node one or more network selection parameters. The UE uses the one or more network selection parameters to select one of first and second radio networks and then accesses the selected radio network.

    摘要: A user equipment transmits using at least two uplink transmit antennas and receives a set of control signals in the downlink direction from a cellular network. The user equipment estimates a received signal quality for each control signal in said set of control signals and determines, based on said received signal quality, which control signals have been reliably received. The user equipment derives one or more parameters related to the uplink transmit diversity operation using a subset of control signals from the set of control signals, said subset only including control signals determined as reliably received; and transmits in the uplink direction applying the derived one or more parameters to control the uplink transmit diversity operation. The accuracy of the transmit diversity parameter values derived/set by the UE can be improved. This will enhance the performance of the uplink transmit diversity and will also reduce interference to the neighbor cells.

    摘要: In MU-MIMO scenarios, a target terminal can be exposed to data streams intended for other terminals. If the target terminal is capable of interference cancellation, then a network node, such as a base station or RNC, can provide the target terminal with interference information so that the target terminal can efficiently cancel interferences due to these interfering data streams. The interference information may include one or more interfering configuration, each of which characterizes a related interfering data stream. The interference information can also include the identity of the other terminal that is the intended recipient of the interfering stream. The network node may determine whether the target terminal can benefit from the interference information. If so, the network node can provide the interference information to the target terminal.
