  • Publication number: 20180132713
    Abstract: Methods for improving gaze tracking are presented. These methods eliminate the need for a separate initial calibration step to determine whether the subject is properly centrally fixated during testing. In one embodiment, whether the subject is centrally fixated is determined by identifying inlier and outlier gaze descriptors; the inliers are assumed to be associated with central fixation. This reduces the total time required for testing. These methods also improve the accuracy of gaze tracking during testing without the need for individual subject calibration. Instead, a database of reference eyes is used. The subject's eye can be compared to the reference eyes, and the mapping function for one or more reference matches can be used to estimate the subject's gaze direction. In another embodiment, previous calibration data from the same subject can be used to determine whether the subject is properly centrally fixated and/or the direction of the subject's gaze.

  • Publication number: 20180124657
    Abstract: A method relating to handover in a communication system is disclosed. The method comprises establishing that a communication device is involved in a handover process from a first cell to a second cell, and increasing at least one of diversity and transmission power of a scheduling assignment transmitted on physical downlink control channel resources, wherein the physical downlink control channel resources are multiplexed with data resources in one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, OFDM, symbols and wherein the scheduling assignment is specific for the communication device. A corresponding communication system, computer programs and computer program products are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9949213
    Abstract: There is provided physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) power coordination. A first transmission point (TP1) and a second transmission point (TP2) are associated with a common physical cell identity (PCI). TP1 and TP2 are controlled by a network node. The network node schedules a first user equipment (UE1) on a first PDCCH allocating a first set of control channel elements (CCEs). TP1 and TP2 adjust power on at least one CCE in the first set of CCEs allocated to UE1. TP1 adjusts power on at least one CCE in a second set of CCEs. The second set of CCEs is allocatable by a second PDCCH for the network node to schedule at least a second user equipment (UE2). TP1 and TP2 decrease the number of CCEs in the first set of CCEs allocated to UE1.

  • Publication number: 20170280449
    Abstract: The downlink control channels in a control region of each downlink subframe in a telecommunication system are divided into at least one common subset of the downlink control channels and a plurality of group subsets of the downlink control channels, such that the common subset or each common subset will be decoded by every user equipment, and each group subset will be decoded only by a limited group of user equipments. Resource assignment messages for a user equipment can then be transmitted on a downlink control channel of the relevant group subset, to avoid the need for messages to be decoded by a large number of UEs that will not act on them, while broadcast messages can be transmitted on a downlink control channel of the relevant common subset, to avoid the need for messages to be transmitted many times.

  • Patent number: 9572145
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides coordination of assignments for the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a multi-sector cell based on reuse of CCE resources to user equipment (UE) in different sectors that are well isolated from each other. For non-isolated UEs the CCE resources are either repeated in all sectors for better reception performance, or transmitted in one sector while the corresponding CCEs in the other sectors are reserved. In order to achieve coordinated PDCCH assignment there is provided methods for coordinated PDCCH transmission, a system comprising transmission points which are associated with a common physical cell identity and which are controlled by a common network node. There is also provided a corresponding network node and computer readable media comprising computer program code.

  • Publication number: 20160089481
    Abstract: A medical device intended for contact with living tissue comprises a substrate having a surface, which surface comprises a layer comprising gallium oxide. A layer comprising a gallium oxide has been shown to inhibit biofilm formation on the surface of the medical device, which may reduce the risk for infection e.g. around a dental implant. A method of producing the medical device comprises: a) providing a substrate having a surface; and applying a gallium compound onto said surface to form a layer, preferably using a thin film deposition technique.
