  • Publication number: 20120168886
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the fabrication, on a plane substrate, of a microswitch actuatable by a magnetic field, comprising: a) the etching, in the upper face of the plane substrate, of cavities forming a hollow model of two strips, these cavities having vertical flanks extending perpendicularly to the plane of the substrate to form vertical faces of the strips, b) the filling of the cavities by a magnetic material to form the strips, then c) the etching in the substrate, by a method of isotropic etching, of a well that extends between the vertical faces of the strips and beneath and around one distal end of at least one of the strips to open out an air gap between these strips and make this distal end capable of being shifted between a closed position and an open position.

  • Publication number: 20120170504
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmission of information in a wireless communication network between a radio access node (30) and a relay node (20), wherein, according to a new ground rule, for each allocated downlink subframe for a down link transmission from the access node to the relay node, an uplink transmission subframe for an uplink transmission is allocated four transmission time intervals later. A downlink subframe is only allocated when a further subframe of the same transmission time interval for a transmission from the relay node to the user equipment is a subframe of a type that indicates to a user equipment (10) that no data are received beyond a control region of the subframe.

  • Publication number: 20120170479
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for assigning resources for an acknowledgement channel, such as the PHICH in LTE systems. A list of acknowledgement channels for a group of scheduled mobile terminals is generated. The list is sorted in descended order of the required transmit energies for the corresponding mobile terminals. The acknowledgement channels are then assigned to channel groups one at a time in sorted order to an available channel group with the lowest cumulative transmit energy. By sorting the channel list before assigning resources, the variance in the transmit energies for different channel groups is reduced. Given enough number of acknowledgement channel groups, the small variance in the transmit energies for different channel groups implies improved error rate performance.

  • Publication number: 20120170573
    Abstract: Systems (10), nodes (11, 12) and methods for load balancing telecommunication sessions over a dual ring Internet Protocol (IP) network (100) allow load balancing between first and second rings (1, 2) of the IP network. Transmission quality is determined by monitoring packets received over the first ring from a first IP subnetwork (21) of one or more remote sites and monitoring packets received over the second ring from a second IP (22) subnetwork of the one or more sites. A determination is made as to which one of said first and second rings (1, 2) is associated with the highest packet transmission quality towards a site based on the monitoring. Packets of a call session can be exchanged between nodes over the same one of the first and second rings (1, 2) associated with the highest packet transmission quality between sites containing the nodes.

The methods are performed in different nodes of a communications network. Said method comprises sending a Bonding Configuration Value via one line of the bonding group of lines, said Bonding Configuration Value being unique for said bonding group, and receiving a Bonding Configuration Value via each of the lines of the bonding group. It further comprises checking each received Bonding Configuration Value for diverging values. If a diverging Bonding Configuration Value is identified, an alarm message is generated and sent to Element Manager of the communications network.
