A method (400) for use in a wireless communications system (100) with a first transceiver (110) and a second transceiver (130) which communicate with each other, which system is a TDD-system, with communication divided into time frames with time slots. According to the method, the first transceiver transmits (410) a dedicated signal for use as a communications quality indicator by the second transceiver, and the second transceiver reports (420) measurements of the dedicated signal to the first transceiver. The dedicated signal is by the first transceiver in one or more TDD time slots, and the second transceiver measures (430) the individual signal strength of the dedicated signal in at least a first and a second time slot and transmits (440) measurement reports to the first transceiver based on the individual measurements in the first and second time slots of the dedicated signal.
A method for use in a wireless communications system in which there is at least a first transceiver and a second transceiver that communicate using Time Division Duplex (TDD), wherein said TDD communication is divided into time frames each of which in turn can comprise a number of time slots, and wherein the first transceiver transmits a dedicated signal or channel for use as a communications quality indicator by the second transceiver, and the second transceiver reports measurements of the dedicated signal or channel to the first transceiver, the dedicated signal or channel being transmitted by the first transceiver in more than one TDD time slots, and said method comprising:
A user terminal for use in a cellular wireless communications system that uses Time Division Duplex (TDD), wherein communication is divided into time frames comprising a number of time slots, wherein the user terminal is configured for communicating with a base station in the system, for detecting and measuring the signal strength of a certain predefined signal or channel transmitted by the base station in more than one TDD time slots of the system, and for reporting said measured signal strength to the base station, and wherein the user terminal comprises:
