  • Patent number: 8126404
    Abstract: To evaluate an energy level of a signal received through a radio interface between radiocommunication stations, successive measurement samples depending on the energy of the signal are obtained, and an average of said samples is calculated, to evaluate the energy level. The calculation of the average of the samples is performed with an averaging duration depending on a service to which the received signal pertains.

  • Patent number: 7616636
    Abstract: Data blocks to be received each comprise a header and a data field including respectively first and second codes for error detection. The decoding of a signal segment received having first and second portions corresponding respectively to the header and to the data field of a block gave rise to a verification of the first code in the first portion. If the first code is correct, a check is made to verify whether the second portion of the decoded signal has a second correct code. A data block is considered to be detected either in the presence of first and second correct codes, or in the presence only of a first correct code when a data likelihood criterion, evaluated during the decoding of the second portion of the signal, is fulfilled.

  • Publication number: 20040097196
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for evaluating the energy level of a signal received via a radio interface between radiocommunication stations which consists in obtaining successive measuring samples (Ck) depending on the signal energy, and in calculating an average (C) of said samples. The averaging of the measuring samples is carried out with an averaging duration (T) depending on a service in the context of which the received signal is inscribed, and preferably also an estimation of the moving speed (v) of one of the stations.

  • Publication number: 20040004949
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for optimising the allocations of resources, e.g. time slots on the Agprs interface in a cellular mobile telecommunications network for packet data. The Agprs interface is provided between a packet control unit (PCU) and a base station controller (BSC). The PCU determines which cells of the network are least and most loaded and sends a request to the BSC to reallocate one resource unit (time slot).
