Patent number: 8582700Abstract: The present solution relates to a method in a first communication node (501) for suppressing noise in a communication system (500) utilizing an automatic gain control. The first communication node (501) receives (1301) a signal from a second communication node (503). Then, the first communication node (501) determines (1302) if a gain level is changed. The signal gain is changed (1303). The next step is for the first communication node (501) to determine (1305) if an inband interferer is present, and then to suppress (1306) transient noise in the signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Derek Hagen, Vimar Bjork, Claes Rolen

Patent number: 8582514Abstract: Uplink transmission scheduling requests (SRs) may be prohibited for a lower priority data flow, logical channel group (e.g., VoIP configured with semi-persistent resource allocation), or other grouping but may still be triggered for higher priority traffic (e.g., data connected to a signaling radio bearer (SRB)). More efficient scheduling is also achieved by allowing an uplink transmission scheduler to distinguish between different priority flows or groups (e.g., LCGs) without a buffer status report (BSR), As a result, when a semi-persistent resource is scheduled for the lower priority data, there is less delay for high priority data while eliminating uplink and downlink control signaling, i.e., fewer scheduling requests (SRs) and uplink grants, for the lower priority data.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2009Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Peter Moberg, Magnus Linstrom, Eva Englund, Henrik Enbuske

Patent number: 8583919Abstract: A method of handling mobility of a sender in a multicast packet sending scenario. The method comprises firstly establishing a multicast tree across a packet data network and transmitting multicast packets from the sender to a plurality of receivers via said multicast tree. Prior to a mobility event in respect of said sender, a suitable transfer anchor node is identified within said network, and the tree re-rooted to that transfer anchor node. Subsequently, multicast packets are transmitted from said sender to said transfer anchor node and injected into the multicast tree at said transfer anchor node. Following said mobility event, said sender continues to send multicast packets to said transfer anchor node for injection into the multicast tree.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2008Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiegolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Mikko Sarela, Pekka Nikander

Patent number: 8584090Abstract: A configuration including Service Instances (SIs) and a list of Service Units (SUs) is to be validated. The SIs are to be allocated to the SUs for protection of the service represented by the SIs. A set of heuristics is applied to determine whether, for each of the SI assignments, the SI can be allocated to one of the SUs whose capacities support the required capacities of the SI. The heuristic then walks the list in order, to find a first SU that supports a current SI. If none of the SUs in the list can support the current SI, the heuristic indicates that the configuration is not validated. In response to a result that at least one of the heuristics in the set indicates the SUs can support all of the SIs, a final result is generated indicating that the configuration is valid.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2011Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Pejman Salehi, Maria Toeroe, Ferhat Khendek
