METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

A receiving unit or a transmitting unit of a wireless network for facilitating noise and interference measurements on an air interface. The receiving unit includes a network interface which obtains information relating to a time-varying layout of a silent resource element (RE) grid. The receiving unit includes an electronic memory having code in communication with the network interface which stores the information. The receiving unit includes a processing unit in communication with the electronic memory that takes a presence of a silent RE grid into account in the reception of a control or a data channel. In the transmitting unit, the processing unit takes the presence of a silent RE grid into account in the transmission of a control or a data channel. A method in the receiving unit or a transmitting unit of a wireless network, for facilitating noise and interference measurements on an air interface. The method includes the steps of obtaining information relating to a time-varying layout of a silent resource element (RE) grid. There is the step of taking a presence of a silent RE grid into account in the reception of a control or a data channel.
