  • Patent number: 8532689
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cellular communication and addresses the problem of an LTE UE measuring downlink quality when the load in cell varies instantaneously and over a wide frequency spectrum. The UE lacks capacity to measure over frequency bandwidth and time needed to make a cell load measure with sufficient reliability for making a inter-cell handover or an inter RAT handover. The solution is the DL power transmitted in a narrow band of the carrier frequency is adjusted to reflect the total cell load. The total cell load is measured and averaged over time and made proportional to the frequency carrier bandwidth. The power may be controlled for specific time slots in the narrow frequency band for the terminal to measure on. This is advantageous because then the waste power needed for enabling the UE measured can be reduced and the extra interference caused by the invention be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8531544
    Abstract: A method of block-encoding a raster image by successive two-dimensional decompositions of blocks of the image in a base of functions using a combined application of a one-dimensional kernel of vertical decomposition of n pixels and of a one-dimensional kernel of horizontal decomposition of p pixels. In the method the horizontal dimension P of each block is determined as a multiple of p, P=k·p, and a decomposition at logp(P) level(s) of resolution is accomplished using the horizontal decomposition kernel, and the vertical dimension N of each block is determined as a multiple of n, N=l·n, and a decomposition at logp(N) level(s) of resolution is accomplished using the vertical decomposition kernel. For given values of n and p, the values of k and l are chosen such that the vertical dimension N is strictly less than the horizontal dimension P.

  • Patent number: 8531315
    Abstract: A method and system for displaying three dimensional images of runways and terrain, as well as additional information, on one or more screens of an avionics display system is provided. The system merges elevation information for terrain points and elevation information for runway points by grouping runways together that are within a threshold distance of each other. For each group, a plane is calculated. The calculated plane is then projected onto all of the runways within the group. The plane may also be projected onto a subset of neighboring terrain points. The adjusted elevation created by the projection of the plane are then used in creating the images for display on the synthetic vision display. The result is that all of the runways within a group, along with their neighboring terrain, are displayed as being coplanar.

  • Publication number: 20130230008
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a user equipment for use in a wireless communication system. The method and user equipment allow for transmit power adjustment of the transmit power of a selected of a plurality of antennas of the user equipment. The method comprised a transmit power adjustment phase during which it is test (23) is performed to decrease the transmit power of the selected antenna. A number of TPC commands are then analyzed (24) to determine a result of the decreased transmit power indicating a change in received power at a base station. Based on the determined result it is decided to continue (27) with the decreased transmit power or to resume (26) the previous transmit power of the selected antenna after completion of the transmit power adjustment phase.

  • Publication number: 20130229913
    Abstract: A method of providing protection switching includes exchanging data traffic between a backbone network and an external network using a first port of a first bridge that connects the backbone network to the external network. The data traffic is identified by a service instance identifier corresponding to a service instance supported by the first bridge. The method also includes filtering the data traffic based on service instance identifier values configured for the first port and transmitting data traffic having service instance identifier values configured for the first port on a first trunk corresponding to a working entity for the service instance identifier. The method also includes monitoring the first trunk for faults and, upon detecting a fault on the first trunk, transmitting the data traffic on a second trunk that connects the first bridge to the second bridge corresponding to a backup protection entity for the service instance identifier.
