Abstract: A radio system and a channel allocation method in a radio system are provided. The radio system and method have at least one base station communicating with terminals within a coverage area thereof. Air interface resources are allocated to different terminals with a combined time and code multiple access method such that the signal of one or more terminals is transmitted in each time slot. Terminal signals are grouped into different time slots based on connection characteristics of each terminal.

Abstract: A system and method for setting up a telephone connection which system comprises several exchange systems (100 and 116). A queuing list is used in the method, which list is maintained in such a manner that when no free connection is available, the operator (107) places information about the received call order in the queuing list to wait for a connection to become free. In the method, the loading of connections (108a to 108c, 114, & 115) is monitored, and when the required connections (108a to 108c, 114, & 115) is detected to be free, the connection (108a to 108c, 114, & 115) is reserved for the use of the operator (107) and the operator (107) is sent information about the call order on the queuing list. After this, the operator can put the call through. The method makes the search for free connection automatic in congested directions and therefore the work of the operators (107) will be easier.

Abstract: A system and method for regulating the cell transfer rate over a network in response to priority level feedback. The feedback feature provides network connection availability information corresponding to a level of bandwidth available on the network connection to the cell source. The connection availability information is converted into a buffer occupancy level accessible at the cell source. The cell transfer rate is regulated at the network source unit in accordance with the buffer occupancy level, including decreasing the cell transfer rate when the buffer occupancy level rises above a high occupancy threshold of the buffer, and increasing the cell transfer rate when the buffer occupancy level drops below a low occupancy threshold of the buffer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and gate arrangement for controlling traffic in a telecommunications system. The rate of occurrence of the units, such as calls, transmitted is restricted to a certain predetermined threshold value when their rate of occurrence exceeds the value. In order that it might be possible to better approximate an ideally operating gapping gate, when a new call arrives, an average value of the interval between two consecutive calls is computed on the basis of the earlier accepted calls only, and the call is accepted, if the average value computed is at least the same as the predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A mobile station, and a method for eliminating multiple-access interference in a CDMA cellular radio system having a plurality of cells each having at least one base station communicating with mobile stations residing in the respective cell and informing the respective mobile stations of at least one spreading code used in a neighboring cell, the mobile stations measuring the code phase and power level of a channel of the neighboring cell using the known spreading code. To reduce the effect of multiple-access interference, the signal received at the mobile station is utilized in the detection of the desired signal by using the code phase and power level of the measured channel using the known spreading code of the neighboring cell.

Abstract: A control system including a motherboard having at least two auxiliary card connectors and a control bus on which control addresses and control data are transferred. Auxiliary cards are connected to the auxiliary card connectors of the motherboard. The auxiliary cards are effectively identical but have different control addresses for selective controlling through the control bus. The control addresses of the auxiliary cards are card location-specific and provided on the motherboard by wiring or switches or in some other corresponding manner. When an auxiliary card is inserted in an auxiliary card connector of the motherboard, the auxiliary card always obtains the correct address from the motherboard through the connector.

Abstract: A method for updating subscriber data in a cellular radio system, and a corresponding cellular radio system, in which method a visitor location register (VLR) receives from a home location register (HLR) of the cellular radio system a restart indication (HLR Reset); and changes the restart number (HLR Reset Num) of the home location register which sent the restart indication in the home location register list of the visitor location register; when the visitor location register (VLR) receives from a mobile exchange (MSC) an indication of the establishment of a radio connection with a subscriber (MS), the visitor location register (VLR) compares the subscriber-specific restart number of the subscriber (MS) with the home location register restart number (HLR Reset Num) of the subscriber (MS), and updates the location data of the subscriber on the basis of the comparison.
