Abstract: A mechanism for controlling resources and/or settings of an access network element like a base station is provided which allows an autonomous reconfiguration of, for example, the antenna configuration based on a set of performance indicators in a base station. The base station can reconfigure itself without the need of operator control so that during periods with low capacity demands the base station will reconfigure correspondingly, which may include a reduction of active cells by turning off the power for a part of the installed equipment.

Abstract: A radio communication system, for example a TDMA/CDMA radio communication system, has at least one base station recurringly offering frequency channels for a random access for mobile stations in an upstream direction. The mobile station that requests a connection setup measures a reception power of a signal sent in a downstream direction by the base station and sets a transmission power for sending an access radio block to the base station dependent on the measured reception power. A variable transmission power control can thus be implemented at the mobile station side with the assistance of the measured reception power of the signal transmitted on the part of the base station, being also capable of being implemented for random access of the mobile stations, this having previously always occurred with maximum transmission power.

Abstract: A method of controlling interference between adjacent communication systems (1, 2) each of which operates in a predetermined frequency band. The method comprises reducing transmit power levels at frequencies (13, 14) at each end (10, 11) of the frequency band (12) and maintaining power levels at other frequencies (15) of the frequency bands (12), such that interference with frequencies at an end of the frequency band of an adjacent system is reduced.

Abstract: A method for changing a downlink transmission power level can include receiving information about interference noise. When the interference noise satisfied a predefined level, the downlink transmission power level can be changed. Typically, the transmission power level can be decreased when the interference noise is above a predefined value. The transmission power level change can be coordinated (e.g. coordination in terms of power step size, in terms of frequency portion to which the power change is applied and in terms of time when to apply the transmission power change) with transmission power level changes in other cells. Also, interferences levels may be reassessed following the first transmission power change and the power levels are changes a second time. Optionally, only a portion of the transmission bandwidth is changed or only specific DL physical channels are considered.

Abstract: A method controls a radio cell monitoring system. A standardized radio cell list is transmitted by a device on the network side, the device being allocated to a radio cell of interest. The radio cell list lists radio cells that are adjacent to the radio cell of interest, receiving radio communication terminals monitoring, using the radio cellist, the signals of the adjacent radio cells for a handover or a cell reselection by way of measurement. The respective measurements of the radio communication terminals are transmitted to the device on the network end. At least one priority on the network side is allocated to each radio cell of the radio cell list. Additionally, at least one indication on the network side, indicating which services are offered within the respective radio cell for execution, is allocated to every radio cell of the radio cell list.

Abstract: Interference is reduced between two radio communication systems. A first radio communication system uses a first and a second frequency ranges which are separated by a duplex gap. A second radio communication system uses a third radio frequency range which forms part of the duplex gap. The first and second radio communication systems exchange information in order to establish an a priori knowledge about a connection on the network side. The a priori knowledge includes the radio transmission resources of the first frequency range provided on the radio communication system side and of the second frequency range and the radio transmission resources of the third frequency range (FB3) desired for call setup and completion. Radio transmission resources are selected depending on the a priori knowledge at the second radio communication system in order to reduce interferences between the first and second radio communication systems.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system having at least first and second radio stations located at a network end and connected to a core network, the first radio station receives a registration message from a user station to initially register the user station in a radio station located at the network end, after the user station has been switched on. Subsequently, communication takes place between the core network and the user station. Signaling messages that are to be sent from the core network to the user station are transmitted, at least at the beginning of the communication between the core network and the user station, from the core network to the second radio station, then from the second radio station to the first radio station or another radio station located at the network end, and from the first radio station (or the other radio station) directly to the user station.

Abstract: The present invention provides oral delivery systems for functional ingredients, such as drugs, nutritional supplements, botanicals, and vitamins. The delivery systems comprise an ingestible matrix within which the functional ingredient(s) are substantially uniformly and completely dispersed and in which degradation of the functional ingredient(s) is minimised. The matrix comprises 1) one or more carbohydrate; 2) one or more sugar, sugar syrup and/or sugar alcohol; 3) one or more hydrocolloid; 4) one or more polyhydric alcohol; 5) one or more source of mono- or divalent cations, and 5) water. The combination of carbohydrate and hydrocolloid in the matrix ensures that the delivery system readily retains the solvent component and thereby prevents separation of the solvent from other components of the matrix. The invention also provides methods of preparing and using the delivery systems.

Abstract: A method detects which radio communication terminals use interference suppression procedures, in a radio communication system. Here radio communication terminals periodically return measurement signals which represent radio field characteristics and/or reception situations determined at the radio terminal to a base station and compare these signals with one another and also with threshold values determined on the base station side. The comparisons conducted are used for assigning radio communication terminals to groups, with a first group being assigned those radio communication terminals which display a good reception situation during the threshold value comparison, whereas a second group is assigned all further radio communication terminals.
