METHODS, USER EQUIPMENTS AND RADIO NETWORK CONTROLLERS IN A WIRELESS NETWORK FOR CONTROLLING DOWNLINK COMMUNICATION

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method in a user equipment (100), configured for operation using a non-contiguous downlink carrier configuration within a first frequency band. Said non-contiguous downlink carrier configuration comprises at least two blocks wherein each block comprises one downlink carrier or several adjacent downlink carriers within the first frequency band and there is a gap between any two blocks among said at least two blocks. The method comprises receiving (502) a control signal indicating that compressed mode should be configured for a first block among said at least two blocks and that compressed mode should not be configured for a second block among said at least two blocks, and configuring (504) downlink compressed mode operation in the user equipment for the first block but not the second block in accordance with said received control signal. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding method in a radio network controller communicating with the user equipment.
