Abstract:
1. A first radio node configured for operation in a wireless communication network and comprising: a wireless communication transceiver configured to communicate with a second radio node in the wireless communication network via a first multifarious radio link that is multifarious with respect to a second multifarious radio link that involves the first or second radio node; and an enhanced timing determination circuit configured to determine an enhanced timing measurement by interrelating radio link timing across the first and second multifarious radio links; wherein said first multifarious radio link is multifarious with respect to the second multifarious radio link because the second multifarious radio link is opposite in terms of uplink and downlink transmit directions with respect to the first multifarious radio link and further because the second multifarious radio link is associated with a different cell identifier than the first multifarious radio link and because the second multifarious radio link is between either the first radio node and another radio node that is not said second radio node or is between the second radio node and another radio node that is not said first radio node, and wherein the first radio node further comprises an enhanced timing measurement configuration circuit that is operatively associated with the wireless communication transceiver and the enhanced timing determination circuit and is configured to perform at least one of:
