The controlling of an operation of an application is implemented in a communication network by obtaining network identification and cell load information for a bearer in order to compute an actual transport block size per physical resource block (ATpP) slope for the bearer. A user equipment (UE) location corresponding to the bearer is associated with geographic pixel information in order to calculate an interference vector. The interference vector is used to compute a coverage map tuple that is used to control the operation of the application. Throughput can also be predicted using the coverage map tuple.

An objective of the application is to provide a method and apparatus for transmitting control signals based on weighted aggregation. Specifically, the method comprise: determining aggregation level weight vectors corresponding to control signals to be transmitted by multiple antenna elements corresponding to the common control channel port, and transmitting the control signals through the multiple antenna elements based on the aggregation level weight vectors. Compared with the prior art, the present application implements enhancement of the common control channel coverage in the 3D-MIND system, and solves the problem of coverage holes in 3D-MIMO due to the introduction of a 2D planar array; moreover, the antenna array gains of the present application are more uniformly distributed in the whole EOD (elevation angle of departure) span, and the gains are significant.

A recursive algorithm may be applied to group cells in a service network into a small number of clusters. For each of the clusters, different regression algorithms may be evaluated, and a regression algorithm generating a smallest error is selected. A total error for the clusters may be identified based on the errors from the selected regression algorithms and from degrees of separation associated with the cluster. If the total error is greater than a threshold value, the cells may be grouped into a larger number of clusters and the new clusters may be re-evaluated. A key performance indicator (KPI) may be estimated for a cell based on a regression algorithm selected for the cluster associated with the cell. A resources may be allocated to the cell based on the KPI value.

The invention relates to method for configuring a first wireless network that includes at least one access point. In order to optimize the configuration of the first wireless network, the method comprises a step of configuring at least one parameter of the at least one access point of the first wireless network on the basis of at least a portion of the linking balance of a second wireless network including at least two nodes, the nodes being positioned in a predetermined physical space.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a wireless communication system that performs communication of a first base station device and a second base station device with a terminal device through a plurality of cells, in which the first base station device notifies the second base station device of a request message including information regarding whether or not a data path for user data of the terminal device has been changed, and the second base station device changes the data path for the user data of the terminal device, based on the information regarding whether or not the data path has been changed.

A method, base station, terminal and communication system for updating component carriers are provided. Wherein, status information of the terminal, base station and/or component carrier is acquired; whether the status information accords with the predetermined condition is determined; an old component carrier is replaced by a new component carrier, or a new component carrier is added in the even that the predetermined condition is met. With the embodiments of the present invention, the component carrier which the terminal would use is updated more effectively.

Techniques for auto-populating emergency geo-location address information are described. Instances of geo-location address information may be acquired from a variety of different sources. The instances of geo-location address information may be prioritized based at least in part on each one's respective source. A candidate geo-location address may be determined and may be used to auto-populate emergency address information.

A Machine-to-machine (M2M) terminal (11) is configured to receive a first notification from a base station (13) and to transmit a second notification to the base station (13) when establishing a radio connection with the base station (13) after reception of the first notification or while performing a procedure for establishing a bearer between the M2M terminal (11) and a core network (14) after reception of the first notification. The first notification indicates whether specific coverage enhancement processing is supported in a cell (130) of the base station (13) in which the M2M terminal (11) is located. The second notification indicates that the specific coverage enhancement processing is required or being executed by the M2M terminal (11). It is thus possible to provide an improvement to allow the M2M terminal to determine necessity of special coverage enhancement processing for M2M terminals.
