Patent number: 7768964Abstract: A method of operating a mobile wireless network is provided, in which, when there is a relocation, the connection may be continued essentially directly from the latest state before the relocation. User data is transmitted between a mobile station and a first base station, the user data being combined into data units, for example, 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, as well as in a first network unit at a higher level than the first base station. With the relocation of the mobile station from the first base station to a second base station having a second higher-level network unit, the transmission-specific information stored in the first higher-level network unit is transmitted to the second higher-level network unit to continue the transmission after the relocation essentially directly from its latest state.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2008Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: IPCOM GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7430184Abstract: A slave station and a method of regulating the transmission power of a master station are described, which permit an estimate of the signal/interference ratio in a transmission system without sending a pilot sequence, the transmission power being regulated as a function of an estimate of the signal/interference ratio. In a transmission system, in particular a CDMA transmission system, useful signals assigned to different communicating subscribers are separated by orthogonal codes. A useful signal assigned to one communicating subscriber is derived by using one of the codes from a signal received at least in the slave station from the master station and is compared as a reference signal with the received signal to estimate the signal/interference ratio.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2000Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: IPCom GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7349443Abstract: A method and a device for synchronizing data-transmission devices, in which devices a data signal is transmitted in the form of a stream of data bursts between a first station and a second station. A reference signal is transmitted in connection with the specific data burst. In a first step, a first reference signal is sent from the second station to the first station. In a second step, a channel estimation is carried out in the first station based on the reference signal received from the second station. In a third step, the first station sends to the second station a data burst predistorted on the basis of the channel estimation. In a fourth step, the first station sends to the second station a second reference signal altered on the basis of the channel estimation. In a fifth step, the second station synchronizes the data burst on the basis of the second reference signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2000Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: IPCOM GmbH & Co.
