  • Methods and Apparatuses for Handling Public Identities in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem Network
    Publication number: 20110310888
    Abstract: The present invention concern methods and apparatuses for handling public identities in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, network. A Serving Call Session Control Function, S-CSCF, node receives a message including a public identity. If the message does include a profile key with a wildcarded identity, the S-CSCF uses the wildcarded identity received with the profile key to fetch a user/service profile related to the wildcarded identity. If the message does not include a profile key with a wildcarded identity, the S-CSCF 125 uses the public identity received in the message to fetch a user/service profile related to the public identity.

  • METHOD FOR THICKNESS-CALIBRATED BONDING BETWEEN AT LEAST TWO SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20110308724
    Abstract: A bonding method between at least two substrates comprises deposition of at least one drop of liquid adhesive on one of the two substrates and bringing the two substrates into contact causing spreading of the liquid adhesive followed by formation of a solidified adhesive layer between the two substrates. One of the two substrates is further provided, at the surface thereof, with at least one salient rim in which at least one slit is formed, designed to remove the excess liquid adhesive when the two substrates are brought into contact. Finally, the volume of liquid adhesive deposited on one of the two substrates is greater than the volume of the bonding space delineated by said rim between the contacted substrates, and the deposited drop of liquid adhesive presents a strictly greater height than the height of the rim. A defect-free solidified adhesive layer of calibrated thickness can thus be obtained.

  • PRESS TOOLING
    Publication number: 20110311667
    Abstract: A pressing tooling machine, including one or two punches, a die including sectors that can separate from each other but are connected to a shared primary portion, and a ring surrounding and holding the sectors, against which it is adjusted by tapered surfaces, and the altitude of which varies owing to the rotation of a crown provided with a surface in relief. When compression is finished, stripping is preceded by a slight separation of the sectors, which makes it possible to release stresses in the compressed piece and avoid many risks of damaging the piece. The sectors are made resistant by inserts made from a hard material, generally removable and able to be machined to an exact profile of the pieces to the formed.

  • Methods and Arrangements in a Wireless Communication System
    Publication number: 20110312339
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and arrangements in a network node such as a positioning server and a user equipment of enabling downlink-based positioning of the user equipment which is served by a serving cell. The network node estimates (210) a timing difference between a timing of a neighboring cell and a timing of the serving cell. This is done based on synchronization information associated with the neighboring and serving cells. It then transmits (220) an instruction to perform a positioning measurement to the user equipment. The instruction comprises an identity of the neighboring cell and the estimated timing difference. In this way the UE may find the reference signal when performing the positioning measurements, even when the SFNs of the neighbor cell is not aligned with the SFN of the serving cell.

  • Method and Arrangement for Processing of Speech Quality Estimate
    Publication number: 20110313758
    Abstract: Method and arrangement for processing of a speech quality estimate, which involve adaption of a speech quality estimate based on information related to the bandwidth of a reference signal used when determining said speech quality estimate, such that the adapted speech quality estimate is independent of the bandwidth of the reference signal. The method and arrangement enable objective speech quality measurements or assessments to be performed on a unified bandwidth scale, independent of the bandwidth of a reference signal, which allows e.g. a more relevant comparison of communication systems and/or equipment, such as e.g. codecs.

  • Methods and Arrangements for Transmitting and Decoding Reference Signals
    Publication number: 20110310825
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method is provided in a radio network node for transmitting a reference signal over an antenna port, wherein the reference signal is transmitted in a code division multiplexing, CDM, group. The CDM group comprises at least two CDM subgroups, each CDM subgroup being transmitted on a different subcarrier. Each CDM subgroup comprises resource elements. In a first step, the radio network node transmits the reference signal over a first CDM subgroup using an orthogonal cover code. The first CDM subgroup comprises resource elements in a first time slot and a subsequent time slot. In a further step, the radio network node transmits the reference signal over a second CDM subgroup using a permutation of the orthogonal cover code. The second CDM subgroup comprises resource elements in the first time slot and the second time slot.

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RESUMING, TRANSFERRING OR COPYING A MULTIMEDIA SESSION
    Publication number: 20110314134
    Abstract: Methods and systems for resuming, transferring or copying an IMS session associated with a first terminal or user at a second terminal in e.g., a same household are described. If a session is to be transferred, resource reservations associated with establishing a second IMS session for the transfer can be bypassed by informing the IMS system, either explicitly or implicitly, of the relationship between the terminals involved in the transfer. A controller can select a content server to support the resumed session and coordinate session identities associated with the selection.

  • Synchronization in Heterogeneous Networks
    Publication number: 20110310878
    Abstract: In a mobile communication network comprising a pico base station and macro base station with overlapping coverage areas, the pico base station transmits a supplemental synchronization signal to enable synchronization when the mobile terminal is operating within a link imbalance zone. The supplemental synchronization signal is transmitted using different time, frequency, and/or code resources from the primary and/or secondary synchronization signals to differentiate and separate the supplemental synchronization signals.

  • Uplink access management
    Patent number: 8081975
    Abstract: The invention involves uplink access management for user terminals (210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270) present in a same first cell (15) of a communication system (1) and participating in a communication session involving communication of user data on a common downlink channel to the terminals (210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270). When the terminals (210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270) want to respond to the user data transmission, they first have to request uplink access. According to the invention, at least one of the terminals (220, 230, 240) requests this uplink access using a request channel associated with a second (25, 35, 45) cell different from the current first cell (15). This reduces the risk of collision of uplink access requests on the request channel by distributing the requests over several cells (15, 25, 35, 45) instead of a single cell (15).
