Abstract

Methods, wireless device ( 110 ) and radio network node ( 120 ) for scheduling transmissions are disclosed. The wireless device ( 110 ) sends, to the radio network node ( 120 ), information relating to emissions, from the wireless device ( 110 ), when the wireless device ( 110 ) operates according an operating configuration. The radio network node ( 120 ) schedules the transmissions based on the information. Then, the wireless device ( 110 ) is scheduled, by the radio network node ( 120 ), based on the information. Corresponding computer programs and carriers also are disclosed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method, performed by a radio network node, for scheduling transmissions of a wireless device, wherein the method comprises:
receiving, from the wireless device, information relating to emissions from the wireless device when the wireless device operates according to an operating configuration, wherein the wireless device comprises at least two duplexers and wherein the information relating to emissions includes information about which duplexer of said at least two duplexers the wireless device is using for transmissions; and
scheduling the transmissions based on the received information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information relating to emissions indicates one or more operating configurations for which certain emissions levels are met.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information relating to emissions indicates whether or not the wireless device meets certain emissions level for a given operating configuration.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information relating to emissions specifies emission levels for one or more operating configurations.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises sending, to the wireless device a request for the information relating to emissions.

6. A method, performed by a wireless device, for assisting the radio network node to schedule transmissions from the wireless device, wherein the method comprises:
sending, to the radio network node, information relating to emissions, from the wireless device, when the wireless device operates according to an operating configuration, wherein the wireless device comprises at least two duplexers and wherein the information relating to emissions includes information about which duplexer of said at least two duplexers the wireless device is using for transmissions, and
being scheduled, by the radio network node, based on the information.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information relating to emissions indicates one or more operating configurations for which certain emissions levels are met.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information relating to emissions indicates whether or not the wireless device meets certain emissions level for a given operating configuration.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information relating to emissions specifies emission levels for one or more operating configurations.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the method comprises receiving, from the radio network node, information relating to the operating configuration for which certain emissions levels are met.

11. The method of claim 6 , wherein the method comprises receiving, from the radio network node, a request for the information relating to emissions.

12. A radio network node configured to schedule transmissions of a wireless device, wherein the radio network node comprises:
a processing circuit and memory operatively coupled to the processing circuit, wherein the memory stores a computer program comprising instructions configured to cause the radio network node to:
receive, from the wireless device, information relating to emissions from the wireless device when the wireless device operates according to an operating configuration, wherein the wireless device comprises at least two duplexers and wherein the information relating to emissions includes information about which duplexer of said at least two duplexers the wireless device is using for transmissions; and
schedule the transmissions based on the received information.

13. The radio network node of claim 12 , wherein the information relating to emissions indicates one or more operating configurations for which certain emissions levels are met.

14. The radio network node of claim 12 , wherein the information relating to emissions indicates whether or not the wireless device meets certain emissions level for a given operating configuration.

15. The radio network node of claim 12 , wherein the information relating to emissions specifies emission levels for one or more operating configurations.

16. The radio network node of claim 12 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the radio network node to send, to the wireless device a request for the information relating to emissions.

17. A wireless device configured to assist the radio network node to schedule transmissions from the wireless device, wherein the wireless device comprises:
a processing circuit and memory operatively coupled to the processing circuit, wherein the memory stores a computer program comprising instructions configured to cause the wireless device to:
send, to the radio network node, information relating to emissions from the wireless device when the wireless device operates according to an operating configuration, wherein the wireless device comprises at least two duplexers and wherein the information relating to emissions includes information about which duplexer of said at least two duplexers the wireless device is using for transmissions; and
be scheduled, by the radio network node, based on the information.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the information relating to emissions indicates one or more operating configurations for which certain emissions levels are met.

19. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the information relating to emissions indicates whether or not the wireless device meets certain emissions level for a given operating configuration.

20. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the information relating to emissions specifies emission levels for one or more operating configurations.

21. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the wireless device to send, to the radio network node, information relating to the operating configuration for which certain emissions levels are met.

22. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the wireless device to receive, from the radio network node, a request for the information relating to emissions.

23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising, stored thereupon, a computer program comprising computer readable code units configured so that, when executed by a processor of a radio network node, the computer-readable code units cause the radio network node to:
receive, from a wireless device, information relating to emissions from the wireless device when the wireless device operates according to an operating configuration, wherein the wireless device comprises at least two duplexers and wherein the information relating to emissions includes information about which duplexer of said at least two duplexers the wireless device is using for transmissions; and
schedule transmissions of the wireless device based on the received information.

24. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising, stored thereupon, a computer program comprising computer readable code units configured so that, when executed by a processor of a wireless device, the computer-readable code units cause the wireless device to:
send, to the radio network node, information relating to emissions from the wireless device when the wireless device operates according to an operating configuration, wherein the wireless device comprises at least two duplexers and wherein the information relating to emissions includes information about which duplexer of said at least two duplexers the wireless device is using for transmis
