  • Patent number: 8200253
    Abstract: A method for notifying a terminal of an update on system information in a long term evolution system, which is used for notifying the terminal after the system information changes by a network side, after the system information changes, the network side notifies the terminal that the system information has changed within the system information modification period, wherein the length of the system information modification period is an integer multiple of discontinuous reception (DRX) period, and the DRX period is a period that the terminal receives paging message in the idle status. By using the method of the present invention, because the system information modification period is specified as an integer multiple of the DRX period, it makes sure that each terminal in the RRC_IDLE state receives the paging message including update information of the system information at least once.

  • Patent number: 8200241
    Abstract: A terminal random access method for a cellular radio communications system and a method for generating a group identifier are provided. In the terminal random access method for a cellular radio communications system, random access preamble message is transmitted by a terminal to a base station in a random access time slot in a radio frame; location information of the random access time slot in the radio frame and that in the frequency domain are combined to generate a group identifier and sending a random access response message to the terminal after adding the group identifier and an individual identifier that corresponds to the random access preamble message to the random access response message by the base station; it is judged whether the random access response message that corresponds to the sent random access preamble message is received, by judging whether the group identifier and the individual identifier within the received random access response message are all expected values.

  • Patent number: 8195709
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for comparing computer-based and data-processing models of a complex system, with a first model and a second model of the system, whereby the models reflect a model of a system behavior by means of predefined objects which represent activities and units within the system. The inventive method comprises the steps of comparing the models and destination of corresponding respective predefined objects of the first and second model, detecting differences in attributes of corresponding predefined objects and outputting the differences to a user. The use of predefined objects—that is, of objects that pertain to a known set of types—enables a more-efficient comparison of models than in unstructured models.

  • Patent number: 8189625
    Abstract: A method for clock link automatic protection in packet transport networks is disclosed. The method includes that: extending the clock synchronization status message to allow said clock synchronization status message to include: a clock identification (ID), a quality grade of clock, the number of network elements that the clock has passed, a clock alarm indication, and a forbidden-use indication; each network element in the clock link processes the clock synchronization status message; and said each network element selected a clock source according to the clock synchronization status message. The method in the present invention allows the network elements to be able to automatically select the optimal routing clock, forbid non-optimal routing clocks to participate in the selection, and effectively prevent the clocks from looping.

  • Patent number: 8189498
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) system based multi-user beamforming method and device. The method comprises the steps of: when two or more user terminals are at respective AOAs (Angles of Arrival), determining a transmit weight of a downlink signal of each user terminal by using a null-widening algorithm, and storing the transmit weight in a network side; and, the network side grouping the user terminals based on AOA information reported by the user terminals, selecting a corresponding transmit weight for the downlink signal of each user terminal in each group based on the AOA information of the user terminals in the group, and transmitting the selected transmit weight after multiplying it by a downlink data stream of the user terminal corresponding to the transmit weight.

  • Patent number: 8190166
    Abstract: A method for determining a paging time slot during a base station executing non-trunking service in a CDMA trunking system is provided. The method comprises: when a base station can determine that a mobile station operates in a slotted mode and can determine a preferred slot cycle index of the mobile station, the smaller value of the preferred slot cycle index and a max slot cycle index is selected as a first slot cycle index and the base station pages the mobile station with a slot cycle determined by the first slot cycle index; and when the base station can not determine whether the mobile station operates in the slotted mode or not, or can not determine the slot cycle index of the mobile station, the smaller value of the preferred slot cycle index of the mobile station and 1 is selected as a second slot cycle index, and the base station pages the mobile station with the slot cycle determined by the second slot cycle index.

  • Patent number: 8183714
    Abstract: A plurality of end-user locations are served by a commercial utility grid. More than one and less than all of the end-user locations are themselves interconnected by a feeder, the feeder not metallically connected to the utility grid. The end-user locations each have a local AC bus that is not metallically connected to the utility grid or to the feeder, but that is linked by a coupler to both the utility grid and to the feeder. None of the local AC buses or the feeder is required to have the same phase or frequency as the utility grid. Locally generated electric power may be passed by means of the feeder to other end-user locations that are on the feeder. Each local AC bus has two or more inverters powering the bus.
