Base station for receiving and processing vehicle control information and/or traffic state information

A technique including selecting as a coordinating entity one entity from a plurality of radio access network entities each capable of both coordinating a multi-cell transmission and following the coordination by another entity of a multi-cell transmission; deciding at said selected radio access network entity on physical parameters for a multi-cell transmission; and distributing physical parameter information about said multi-cell transmission from said coordinating entity to others of said plurality of radio access network entities.

Multi-cell transmissions

The invention provides methods, a network device and radio station for spectrum resource allocation in a network employing spectrum sharing among at least a primary and secondary system, including scanning, by a network device of the secondary system, a specific frequency range of a candidate band of the primary system, estimating, by the network device, interference level on the scanned candidate band of the primary system, determining position of the network device, and transmitting the estimation result to a radio station of the secondary system.

Spectrum sharing

In a method for wireless communication, a receiver receives a first signal at a first radio frequency and determines the reception level of the first signal. The receiver receives data during a reception level of the first signal at the first radio frequency. The receiver decides, based on the determined reception level, whether at least one measurement is to be taken on a second signal transmitted at a second radio frequency. A radio station carries out the method.

Intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurements in a radio communication system

Authorization data is sent to radio stations so that the radio stations are temporarily authorized, by way of the authorization data, to communicate using radio access technology. Messages can be transmitted between a first radio station and a second radio station via a path that runs via one or more additional radio stations. The authorization data is sent such that, while a message is transmitted via the path using radio access technology, at any point in time a subset of adjacent radio stations on the path are authorized to communicate using radio access technology.

Method of operating radio communications systems using SDR (software defined radio) radio stations

Data received by a first network component from a second network component is processed by a filter function according to which the whole data or a portion of the data is used.

Method and device for processing data in a network component

An item of network information pertaining to available resources, which are available for transmitting radio communication data in a multi-radio link communications system, is transmitted to network devices and/or subscriber stations by a coordination device. The item of network information assigns the available resources to groups, and the resources of different groups are assigned according to at least one common group feature.

Method for operating radio communication in multi-radio link communications system

A method is provided for transmitting data to user equipments, a communication system, a base station and a mobile station.

The present invention relates to a method and system for data transmission in a data network. According to the method, a data packet is sent from a sender to a receiver. If a data packet is incorrectly received on the receiver, a repeat request is sent from the receiver to the sender. Upon receiving the repeat request on the sender, the data packet is resent from the sender to the receiver. After having received on the sender a predetermined number of repeat requests requesting the reseeding of the same data packet, a predetermined quantity of copies of the data packet is sent from the sender to the receiver, wherein the predetermined quantity includes at least two copies, or a predetermined quantity of additional information packets is sent from the sender to the receiver.

According to a method for operating a radio communication system, a first radio station decides about the assignment of first radio resources to a user terminal and thereafter assigns the first radio resources to the user terminal. Before deciding about the assignment of the first radio resources to the user terminal, the first radio station transmits information to a second radio station regarding the first radio station's future assignment of the first radio resources. Radio stations carry out the method.
