Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling header compression and decompression for a link of a packet data network, wherein a predetermined header extension size for the link is initially set, and wherein a packet which will not be used as reference for subsequent decompression is transmitted from the compressor to the decompressor, if an extension header list of a size larger than the predetermined header extension size has been received. At the decompressing side, the transmission of an acknowledgement is suppressed, if an extension header list of the size larger than a predetermined header extension size configured at the decompressor has been received. Thereby, inconsistency of compression context between compressor and decompressor is prevented and a higher compression efficiency is achieved since there is no need to repair the context and correctly decompressed packets can be delivered to upper network layers without discarding any packets.

Abstract: A transmitter clips a transmission signal before transmission in order to reduce the strength of at least one peak of the transmission signal exceeding a predetermined threshold. The transmitter includes a clipper having a minimizer, a filter and an adder. The minimizer minimizes of a cost function with respect to an optimization signal, the cost function having weighted terms as a function of the optimization signal. The terms relate to an effective modulation distortion and an effective overshoot exceeding the predetermined threshold. The filter forms a clipping signal by filtering the optimization signal formed as a result of the minimization according to the spectrum emission mask requirements of the radio system. The adder subtracts the clipping signal from the transmission signal.

Abstract: An error adjustment method of equalizing transmission characteristics of a signal processing circuitry is disclosed. In a first step, an original complex IQ signal is generated, on which error adjustment is performed.

The envelope of the original complex IQ signal is derived and the synchronized real signal envelope is compared with the synchronized original IQ signal envelope at two consecutive time instances. Finally, a processed complex IQ signal is obtained from the real signal envelope on the basis of the comparison result, which processed complex IQ signal is used in performing error adjustment.

Abstract: Biocompatible polymers are manufactured to include an amino acid mimetic monomer and one or more hydrophobic acrylate monomers. The amino acid mimetic monomers are selected to mimic the side chain of the amino acids asparagine or glutamine. The amino acid mimetic monomer can be a methacryloyl or acryloyl derivative of 2-hydroxyacetamide, 3-hydroxypropionamide, alaninamide, lactamide, or glycinamide. These amide functional groups offer the advantage of moderate hydrophilicity with little chemical reactivity. The amino acid mimetic monomer can be copolymerized with one or more hydrophobic acrylate monomers to obtain desired coating properties.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication with a first station arranged to transmit at least one transmission to be received by a plurality of second stations to provide a point to multipoint transmission. A first determining step determines in at least one of a plurality of second stations, if at least one transmission which is received at least one second station satisfies predetermined criterias. In response to information determined in said first determining step, a second determining step determines if a first station is to change a power level with which the first station transmits to the plurality of second stations in a point to multipoint transmission. A power changing step changes the power level with which said first station transmits power if the second determining step determines that the power level is to be changed.
