Abstract: Reliable and efficient search windows are provided by allowing the adaptation of the code search window to be dependent on inaccuracy measures of relations between a cellular frame time and a satellite reference time. This inaccuracy is calculated in a positioning node of the cellular communications system, preferably by filtering of measurements received from user equipments. Linear trend Kalman filtering followed by post processing of estimation errors may be utilized. In order to ensure non-ambiguous interpretation of the received time stamps of received satellite signals provided by user equipments, a pseudo propagation delay is computed in both the user equipment and the positioning node based on GPS acquisition assistance data. The GPS time stamp is then defined referring to the determined pseudo propagation delay. In one embodiment, the pseudo propagation delay is assured to be situated within a pre-determined time interval.

Abstract: A method and a system are disclosed for providing a certain quality of service to a user-device within a mobile telecommunication system. The telecommunication system comprises one or several user-registers linked to a user-device, and one or several priority-tables associated with an area covered by the telecommunication system. A user-register is compared with a priority-table when a user-device linked to said user register enters the area associated with said priority-table. The user-device can then be provided with a certain quality of service depending on a possible correspondence between the user-register and the priority-table.

Abstract: An image sensor includes pixels each of which is designed to transfer charge, accumulated in a photoactive region of the pixel during a first period, through a second active region of the pixel to a power supply node, and to transfer charge, accumulated in the photoactive region during a second period, through the second active region to a sense node in the pixel. Passing charge through the second active region prior to transferring it either to the power supply node or the sense node can help reduce fixed pattern noise. The image sensor can be operated in snap-shot mode.
