Publication number: 20210349992Abstract: Method and device for extracting noise-reduced signal information from a time series of sensor measurements during normal process operation and then actively checking whether present realizations of the process are departing from historical normal behavior. To extract signal information, the solution borrows ideas from singular spectrum analysis a non-parametric exploratory analysis tool for time series that is particularly suitable for separating the deterministic part of a dynamical system behavior from the chaotic part, purely from noisy time series of measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2019Publication date: November 11, 2021Applicant: OMEN TECHNOLOGIES ABInventors: Magnus ALMGREN, Wissam AOUDI

Patent number: 9137785Abstract: A method and arrangement in a first mobile terminal (600) for determining allocation of radio resources for DMO communication amongst a group of mobile terminals. M the first mobile terminal, a first determining module 600a determines a communication (Sout, Sin) with a second mobile terminal (602) of the group. A second determining module (600b) determines a resource element (RE) for communication by applying a predefined cryptographic function P based on a terminal identification (K)). The cryptographic function has been configured in the mobile terminals of the group to provide terminal-specific resource elements for different mobile terminals within respective radio frames. A communication module (600c) then communicates with the second mobile terminal (602), either by transmission or reception of the data, on the determined resource element (RE).Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2010Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Magnus Almgren, Ritta Almgren, Mats Näslund, Göran Selander, Per Skillermark

Patent number: 8526877Abstract: One method for controlling operation of a repeater in radio communication system comprises determination whether operation of a node in the radio communication system benefits from assistance of a repeater and transmitting, from the node in the radio communication system, a radio signal to the repeater being indicative of an order to promptly activate the repeater if the benefit exists. One complementary method for controlling operation of a repeater in radio communication system comprises detection (252), in the repeater, of a radio signal being indicative of an order to activate the repeater. Amplification in the repeater is activated (254) as a response to such a detected radio signal and uplink traffic from a user terminal being located in a vicinity of the repeater and/or downlink traffic to the user terminal is amplified (256). A repeater, a node, a user terminal and a system operating according to the method are presented.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2007Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Magnus Almgren, Per Skillermark

Patent number: 8396141Abstract: Systems and methods of cell selection are based on measures of frequency selectivity, time selectivity, and/or antenna selectivity. For example, the delay spread and coherence bandwidth of a channel are two measures of frequency selectivity that can be taken into account in the cell selection process. In addition to or instead of either delay spread or coherence bandwidth, Doppler frequency shift or coherence time (which are two measures of time selectivity) and/or antenna correlation or mean signal strength per antenna (which are two measures of antenna selectivity), among other parameters, can be determined and taken into account.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2005Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Bengt Lindoff, Magnus Almgren, Henrik Asplund, Anders Furuskär, Niclas Wiberg

Patent number: 8380525Abstract: According to the invention a receiving end terminal (RET) enters a delay mode based on the detecting of the quality of the link being lower than a threshold. In this delay mode, the receiving end terminal provides a reception delay indicator (RDI) for a sending end terminal (SET). The sending end terminal (SET) receives the reception delay indicator (RDI) and provides an end of speech indicator (ESI) for the receiving end terminal (RET) at an end of a speech coding interval (SC). The receiving end terminal (RET) uses the reception delay indicator (RDI) and end of speech indicator (ESI) to define a first time interval (AL1) during which a speech decoder is disabled. The speech decoder is again activated after the first time interval (AL1).Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2007Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Magnus Almgren, Stefan Bruhn, Per Skillermark

Patent number: 7933218Abstract: A method for allocating power and channels to connections in a multi-channel access based wireless communication system in which each connection is acting independently of the other. The quality of each channel of a connection is measured at successive time steps (n, n+1). The measurements from a previous time step (n) are used to allocate, in the following time step (n+1), an average power of all channels the connection uses as well as individual power settings in-between said channels. The average power is controlled using an outer fairness loop balancing the average channel power against average bit rate per channel. The individual power settings is controlled using an inner capacity loop allocating much power to good channels and restricted power to poor channels. Each loop has a respective target relation and the results of the loops are combined in order to determine transmission power in the next time step. The method is of distributed character and may execute on individual receiving nodes.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2004Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Magnus Almgren, Per Skillermark
