A fault tolerance solution for a multi-layer cloud system. The embodiments of this disclosure are applicable to radio access network (RAN) application area as well as cloud environment with virtual machine or container-based application function implementation. In one aspect there is a method performed by a load balancing system, which method includes: receiving a request sent by a client and selecting from a first cluster of serving entities a first main serving entity and a first backup serving entity. The method also includes, as a result of receiving the request sent by the client, sending to the client information identifying the selected first main serving entity and the selected first backup serving entity.

Load balancing systems and methods

A method comprises determining a first and a second sub-carrier associated with a channel, and multiplying a signal received on the first sub-carrier with a first number to form a first resulting signal. The first number multiplied with a known signal transmitted by a second transmitting node on the first sub-carrier equals a constant value. A signal received on the second sub-carrier is multiplied with a second number to form a second resulting signal. The second number multiplied with the known signal transmitted by the second transmitting node on the second sub-carrier equals the constant value. The second resulting signal is subtracted from the first resulting signal to obtain a signal for which interference from the second transmitting node is suppressed, and the channel is estimated based on the obtained signal.

Method and node related to channel estimation

A method executed in a first radio base station located in a first cell is provided for acquiring scheduling information associated with a second radio base station located in a neighboring cell, where the method comprises listening, via an air interface, to scheduling information transmitted, via a downlink control channel, from the second radio base station; decoding the received scheduling information, and providing the decoded scheduling information to an uplink receiver and/or uplink scheduler associated with the radio base station, such that the uplink receiver and/or uplink scheduler will be able to enhance its performance on the basis of the received scheduling information. An arrangement for executing the suggested method is also provided.

Method and arrangement for acquiring scheduling information

The embodiments disclosed relates to a method and a network node that estimates a signal power and/or noise power of a received reference signal. The receiving node may operate in a communications system applying frequency division multiplexing. An assumption is that the channel frequency responses, on adjacent subcarriers of the communications system are equivalent or constant. The method comprising receiving a reference signal comprising a first reference signal from a first wireless terminal and a second reference signal from a second wireless terminal By using this assumption it is possible to combine first and second reference signal in order to estimating the signal power and/or noise power of a received reference signal without a conventional channel estimation technique.
