Estimating the term…
There is provided a method of operating a network node in a communication network, the communication network comprising a mobile device, a first base station and a second base station, the first base station having a lower transmission power than the second base station and being located within the coverage area of the second base station, the mobile device being located within an imbalanced region between the first base station and the second base station and being served by the first base station, the method in the network node comprising configuring the mobile device, the first base station and the second base station such that the mobile device transmits uplink data to the first base station, and the mobile device receives downlink data only from the second base station. Corresponding methods are provided for operating a mobile device and a second base station. A network node, mobile device and second base station are also provided that are configured to perform the respective operating methods.

A method of operating a network node in a communication network, the communication network comprising a mobile device, a first base station and a second base station, the first base station having a lower transmission power than the second base station and being located within the coverage area of the second base station, the mobile device being located within an imbalanced region between the first base station and the second base station and being served by the first base station, the method in the network node comprising:
A network node adapted for use in a communication network, the communication network comprising a mobile device, a first base station and a second base station, the first base station having a lower transmission power than the second base station and being located within the coverage area of the second base station, the network node comprising:
A method of operating a mobile device in a communication network, the communication network comprising a first base station, a second base station and a network node, the first base station having a lower transmission power than the second base station and being located within the coverage area of the second base station, the mobile device being located within an imbalanced region between the first base station and the second base station and being served by the first base station, the method in the mobile device comprising:
A mobile device for use in a communication network, the communication network comprising a first base station, a second base station and a network node, the first base station having a lower transmission power than the second base station and being located within the coverage area of the second base station, the mobile device comprising:
A method of operating a second base station in a communication network, the communication network comprising a mobile device, a first base station and a network node, the first base station having a lower transmission power than the second base station and being located within the coverage area of the second base station, the mobile device being located within an imbalanced region between the first base station and the second base station and being served by the first base station, the method in the second base station comprising:
A second base station for use in a communication network, the communication network comprising a mobile device, a first base station and a network node, the second base station comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon, the computer program instructions being configured such that, on execution by a computer or suitable microprocessor in a network node in a communication network, the communication network comprising a mobile device, a first base station and a second base station, the first base station having a lower transmission power than the second base station and being located within the coverage area of the second base station, the mobile device being located within an imbalanced region between the first base station and the second base station and being served by the first base station, the computer or suitable microprocessor:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon, the computer program instructions being configured such that, on execution by a computer or suitable microprocessor in a mobile device operating in a communication network, the communication network comprising a first base station, a second base station, and a network node, the first base station having a lower transmission power than the second base station and being located within the coverage area of the second base station, the mobile device being located within an imbalanced region between the first base station and the second base station and being served by the first base station, the computer or suitable microprocessor:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon, the computer program instructions being configured such that, on execution by a computer or suitable microprocessor in a second base station operating in a communication network, the communication network comprising a mobile device, a first base station, the second base station, and a network node, the first base station having a lower transmission power than the second base station and being located within the coverage area of the second base station, the mobile device being located within an imbalanced region between the first base station and the second base station and being served by the first base station, the computer or suitable microprocessor:
