  • Patent number: 9072023
    Abstract: User data is transmitted between a mobile station (10) and a first base station (25), the user data being combined into data units, in particular packet data units, before being transmitted. For transmission of data units, transmission-specific information describing an instantaneous state of the transmission is stored in the mobile station (10) as well as in a first network unit (50) at a higher level than the first base station (25). With the relocation of the mobile station (10) from the first base station (25) to a second base station (30) having a second higher-level network unit (55), the transmission-specific information stored in the first higher-level network unit (50) is transmitted to the second higher-level network unit (55) to continue the transmission after the relocation essentially directly from its latest state.

  • Patent number: 9008596
    Abstract: For regulating a transmission power in a transmission channel of a transmission from a transmitting station in a transmission system, a transmit power command is received from a transmission receiving station, the transmission power in the transmission channel is changed on a basis of the received transmit power command, and an amount of the change in the transmission power at the transmitting station is determined by determining a ratio between a current transmission power and an average over time of the transmission power, such that the amount of the change is dependent on a value of the ratio, with the amount of change increasing as the value of the ratio increases.

  • Patent number: RE47895
    Abstract: A method and a subscriber station for allocating rights of access to a telecommunications channel of the telecommunications network to at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20) are proposed in which information signals are transmitted to the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20). With the information signals, access authorization data (45, 50, 55) are transmitted to the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20). Upon reception of the access authorization data (45, 50, 55) in an evaluation unit (6) of the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20), the question is asked whether the access authorization data (45, 50, 55) include an access threshold value (S), and the access threshold value (S) is compared with a random number or a pseudo-random number (R), and the right of access to a telecommunications channel of the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20) is granted as a function of the outcome of comparison.
