Various communication systems may benefit from improved wireless communications. For example, communication systems may benefit from a wireless broadband network that monitors and detects link latency. A method includes detecting latency information of data being transmitted on at least one link between a first base station and at least one second base station. In addition, the method includes forming at least one array comprising the latency information of the data. Further, the method includes modifying a system behavior relating to at least the first base station or the at least one second base station based on the at least one array.

Link latency and system behavior

An apparatus and method that may determine, at a network entity, a first distance between a first base station and a second base station based on a handover indication received from user equipment. The method may further determine, by the network entity, a second distance between a point of signal loss and a point of signal acquisition of user equipment. The method may further estimate, by the network entity, one or more network coverage areas based upon the first distance and the second distance.

An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing communication system is provided that schedules a transmission of uplink sounding signals or channel quality feedback signals in sounding intervals, or sounding zones, that are outside of the sub-frames, thereby preserving sub-frame capacity for other overhead and data transmissions.

A method and apparatus for optimizing downlink transmission in a wireless communication network () includes determining () a distance of each of a plurality of remote devices (-) from a network node () and allocating () downlink symbols of a frame () for the downlink transmission based on the determined distance of each of the plurality of remote devices. Earlier downlink symbols of the frame are allocated to at least one remote device of the plurality of remote devices positioned more distant from the network node in comparison to at least other remote device positioned less distant from the network node.
