  • Patent number: 8346837
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying data provided by a sensor in Polar coordinates on a raster scan device operating in Cartesian coordinates. Cartesian coordinates for display points on said raster scan device are converted to corresponding Polar coordinates, and sensor data values for said Polar coordinates are fetched for display on said raster scan device. The coordinates are converted by differentiating the equations mapping Polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates, and solving the differential relationships using a suitable integration method. Preferable the integration method is a Midpoint method. In order to avoid divisions and speed up the conversion process, synthetic division in Newton-Ralphson iteration is used instead.

  • Patent number: 8331403
    Abstract: A method and nodes for providing adaptive segmentation in a higher protocol layer interacting with a lower protocol layer. An adaptable segmentation limit (200, 204), defining a threshold of a largest Protocol Data Unit (PDU) that is to be submitted to a lower protocol layer, is deployed at a higher protocol layer interacting with the lower protocol layer. For each Service Data Unit (SDU; 201, 203) arriving at the higher protocol layer, it is determined if the respective SDU can fit into the segmentation limit or not. Each SDU that do not fit into the segmentation limit is segmented into PDUs (205, 206) which are smaller than or equal to the segmentation limit, while no segmentation is performed on SDUs that fit into the segmentation limit.

  • Patent number: 8320845
    Abstract: A radio transmitter includes a transmitter circuit which produces a signal at a first frequency, and has digital divider circuitry, for dividing the first frequency to produce a signal at a second frequency. The noise performance of the digital divider is adjusted, depending upon the transmitter output power. Specifically, the digital divider is operated with a relatively good noise performance when the gain of the power amplifier is high, and is operated with a worse noise performance at low output powers. This can ensure that a specified noise requirement is met, without excessively increasing the power consumption or the size of the device.

  • Patent number: 8270509
    Abstract: A frequency error of received signals in an OFDM receiver of a wireless communications system is determined. Symbols of a given duration are transmitted as cells on sub-carrier frequencies; and some of the cells are pilot cells modulated with reference information. The method comprises the steps of selecting at least three pilot cells (p0, p1, p2) from different symbols and different sub-carriers; determining the symbol and the sub-carrier on which each pilot cell is transmitted; determining for each pilot cell a phase difference between received and generated signals; calculating therefrom a change in phase difference (?x) caused by the frequency error; and calculating the frequency error from the calculated change in phase difference (?x). In this way a receiver capable of determining a frequency error also in situations where only a short data burst, such as a single resource block, is available for the estimation is provided.

  • Patent number: 8270298
    Abstract: A network includes a first node and a second node and data frames are transmitted from the first node to the second node. Each of the data frames carry information belonging to one of a plurality of data flows. A determining unit (911) determines at periodically repeated times, for each of the data flows, whether there are more data frames in the first node waiting to be transmitted. A capacity allocating unit (919) allocates for each of those data flows for which no data frames have been waiting to be transmitted for a predetermined time period, only a small amount of the totally available bitrate or bandwidth for transmission from the first node to the second node. It also allocates for each of the remaining data flows, for transmission from the first node to the second node, a share of the rest of the totally available bitrate or bandwidth, so that the sum of the shares for all said remaining data flows is equal to the rest.
