    摘要: There is provided mechanisms for controlling total average transmission power of a radio base station. A method is performed by a control device. The method comprises performing control of total average transmission power (Ptot)(t) of the radio base station according to a back-off power control loop. In the back-off power control loop, a setpoint value (Ptot)ref of the total average transmission power is compared with a value of the total average transmission power (Ptot)(t)—The value of the total average transmission power (Ptot)(t) is computed over an averaging time T. Control parameters of the back-off power control loop are scaled proportionally to the inverse of the averaging time T. The control parameters pertain to a response time of the back-off power control loop.

    摘要: A method of determining a two-dimensional position of a moving wireless device is provided. The method comprises obtaining, for each of three or more base stations, one or more measurements of a carrier frequency offset for one or more signals sent between the moving wireless device and the respective base stations. The method further comprises inputting the carrier frequency offset measurements into a model to determine a two-dimensional position of the moving wireless device, in which inputs to the model do not include range measurements for the moving wireless device with respect to the three or more base stations.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate to positioning in a cellular communications system. In some embodiments, a method for determining a three dimensional location of a wireless device in a cellular communications network comprises obtaining a plurality of measurements for a wireless device, where the plurality of measurements are Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) related measurements. The method further comprises computing a three dimensional position of the wireless device using the plurality of measurements and a vertical surface model, wherein the vertical surface model is a translated and scaled version of an initial vertical surface model. The new vertical surface model provides translation and scaling of the initial vertical surface model to a suitable range before it is used to determine the three dimensional position of the wireless device such that accuracy is improved, e.g., in large rural cells.

    摘要: A base station for detecting a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) transmission from a User Equipment device (UE) comprises a radio device and at least one additional device. The radio device comprises narrowband receivers respectively coupled to antenna elements of an antenna array. Each narrowband receiver is configured to receive a signal from a respective antenna element and process the signal to provide received symbols for a PRACH received via the respective antenna element. The radio device also comprises accumulation circuitry configured to, for each antenna element, accumulate a subset of the received symbols for the PRACH received via the antenna element to output a first averaged symbol for the PRACH received via the antenna element. The at least one additional device is configured to receive, from the radio device, the first averaged symbols and process the first averaged symbols to perform PRACH detection for one or more receive beams.
