Supporting multiple access technologies in wireless communication environment. RU patent 2504919.

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: support for multiple wireless access technologies at a common terrestrial radio access network is described. As an example, wireless resources can be reserved in a manner that facilitates transmission of control and reference signals to advanced or emerging-technology user terminals (e.g., LTE-A), while mitigating adverse affects on legacy user terminals (e.g., LTE Release 8). As such, information designated for LTE-A terminals can be embedded in predetermined reserved locations, which exploit known standardised behaviour of legacy terminals in expecting information at specific locations.

EFFECT: reserving of resources can occur typically without the legacy terminals being affected, mitigating or avoiding performance degradation for legacy terminals.
