Patent number: 9596698Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and radio base station for sharing resources in a wireless communication system. The radio base station stores an identity of a first entity to which a first plurality of UEs is associated. The first plurality of UEs has full access to resources provided by the radio base station. The radio base station also stores an identity of a second entity to which a second plurality of UEs is associated. The second plurality of UEs has partial access to the resources provided by the radio base station. When the radio base station receives a request for accessing resources from a UE, it determines whether the UE is associated with the second entity, i.e. if the UE is to be handled in support mode. If the UE is associated with the second entity it means that the UE only should have partial access to the resources.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2012Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Bogdan Timus, Harald Kallin, Gunnar Mildh

Patent number: 9591502Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and equipments for feeding back MDT Log. Terminal equipment rationally chooses whether to send Log available message to the network based on the fact whether present attribution zone(s) of terminal equipment is the valid attribution zone(s), or report the information of present attribution zone(s) to network side, then the network side judges whether to acquire MDT Log, so as to avoid feeding back MDT Log and further causing loss of valid MDT Log in case of no correspondence of present attribution zone(s). Moreover, terminal equipment can decide whether to report Log available message to the network side according to the condition of actual attribution zone(s), which avoids unnecessary reporting of MDT Log and validly saves radio resource of the system.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2012Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: China Academy Of Telecommunications TechnologyInventors: Jing Fu, Xiaodong Yang

Patent number: 9565295Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring communication of mobile communication terminals, such as cellular phones. An off-air monitoring system reconstructs both directions of a call conducted between two mobile terminals by receiving only downlink channels. The off-air monitoring system receives multiple downlink transmissions transmitted by base stations in a wireless communication network. The system uses the received downlink transmissions to reconstruct the bidirectional call content of calls conducted between wireless terminals. In order to reconstruct the bidirectional content of a given call, the system identifies and correlates the two downlink transmissions of that call from among the multiple received downlink transmissions.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: VERINT SYSTEMS LTD.Inventors: Arik Poznanski, Itai Langer
