  • Publication number: 20130170441
    Abstract: A reference signal, RS, is generated in a wireless communication system based on a starting position, in the frequency domain, of the RS and a transmission channel bandwidth of the RS. At least one of the starting position of the RS and the bandwidth allocated to a transmission channel for the RS is/are ascertained. A base sequence index, BSI, is then derived by mapping at least one ascertained of the RS starting position and transmission channel bandwidth (12) according to a predefined mapping rule (14) to the BSI (16). The RS is determined based on the derived BSI.

  • Publication number: 20130170386
    Abstract: Signaling through a plurality of network elements is traced during a trace session. The network elements generate trace records that record information associated with a communication session and that include a charging identifier that is used as a trace recording session reference for the trace session. The charging identifier is a unique network-wide identifier for a subscriber, UE or service and can be used by an operations support system to correlate which trace records are associated with a same subscriber, UE or service that is being traced and, thereby, may enable end-to-end tracing through a network.

  • Publication number: 20130173730
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer programs for efficient reporting of a transmission state of a multimedia message addressed to recipient user devices. A multimedia message is sent from an originator user device to an originator server and further to one or more recipient servers with which the recipient user devices are associated. The recipient servers send the multimedia message to the addressed recipient user devices associated with the recipient server and receive status messages, each status message including an indication of an individual message transmission state of the multimedia message at one of the recipient user devices. The recipient servers aggregate the indications according to at least two message transmission state types into a report representing the transmission state of the multimedia message, and send the report to the originator server.

  • Patent number: 8476870
    Abstract: The diagnostic method applies to a standalone system including a generator, a power regulator and a power storage element. The method includes comparison of the effective charging power or current of the power storage element respectively with a predefined power or current threshold. If the effective charging power or current is lower than said threshold, the power storage element is disconnected. An abnormal behavior is then detected either by comparing the effective charging power with the smaller of the values representative of the theoretical charging power of the power storage element and of the maximum power able to be delivered by the generator and comparing the effective and theoretical charging voltages, or by comparing the effective and theoretical charging currents.

  • Patent number: 8477636
    Abstract: Updates on access network capability are provided to an IP Multimedia System (IMS) network. A User Equipment (UE) that is connected to the access network initiates a communication session with the IMS network by sending a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) registration request to the IMS network. The SIP registration request from the UE includes a P-Access-Network-Info (PANI) header or an Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) header, having a tag that includes current information regarding one or more capabilities of the access network to which the UE is currently connected. A triggering event, e.g., a change in Quality of Service, signals the IMS network to modulate service provisions in the IMS network according to the information concerning the access network capabilities that were provided in the PANI header.

  • Patent number: 8476897
    Abstract: A method for localizing a person in surroundings equipped with fixed electrical appliances includes measuring an electromagnetic field radiated by one or more of these fixed electrical appliances with a magnetometer carried by the person, identifying a fixed appliance operating near the magnetometer by comparing the measured field with pre-recorded magnetic signatures. Each pre-recorded magnetic signature is associated with an electrical appliance present in the surroundings. The person is then localized at least in part based on pre-recorded items of information that correspond to localization, in the surroundings, of the fixed electrical appliance as identified by its magnetic signature.

  • Patent number: 8477218
    Abstract: The invention relates to matrix image sensors, and it relates more particularly to a method for correcting the fixed spatial noise of the matrix. The signal (Sij,n) obtained from each pixel (Pij) during a large number of successive images is collected; for each pixel, an approximate value (Mij) of an average of the signal obtained from the pixel during this large number of images is determined; the signal obtained from each pixel is corrected by adding to it the difference between a reference average value (M0) and the approximate average value. The approximate average is obtained by determining high and low limit values taken by the signal obtained from the pixel during the large number of images, and by calculating a median between these high and low limit values.

  • Patent number: 8477727
    Abstract: Techniques for generating an interloping beacon which can control the behavior of a target wireless device on a CDMA frequency channel without noticeably altering the behavior of non-target wireless devices which share the frequency channel of the target wireless device's live beacon. The interloping beacon is an override beacon which overrides the live beacon's pilot channel and a control message on a code channel on which control messages may be addressed to the target wireless device. The override beacon provides the overriding pilot and the overriding control message only as long as is required for the target wireless device to respond to the overriding control message. The period of time during which the overriding pilot and the overriding control message are generated for the override beacon is so short that only the target wireless device responds without noticeable effect on collateral wireless devices.

  • Patent number: 8477653
    Abstract: The performance of a network, such as a mobile communications network, having multiple network nodes can be monitored. In a first network node, certain data flows passing through the node are tagged by adding a performance management identifier. In a second network node, statistics relating to data flows containing the performance management identifier are aggregated, and the aggregated statistics are reported to a management node of the communications network. This allows for the gathering of accurate statistics relating to specific types of data flow, such as data flows to specific types of user equipment or containing specific types of data, even though the second node, in which the statistics are generated, cannot itself distinguish between the different data flows.

  • Patent number: 8477765
    Abstract: A node in an IMS network receives circuit switched signalling relating to a communication session sent from a terminal over a circuit switched access network, and also receives packet switched signalling relating to the communication session sent from the terminal over a packet switched access network. The packet switched signalling comprises an identifier, and the node uses the identifier to correlate the circuit switched signalling with the packet switched signalling. This allows terminals using ICS to send signalling over both packet switched and circuit switched access networks, and a receiving node to correlate those signals.
