  • Patent number: 12238048
    Abstract: Slave units of a mobile communication system each determine (S907), out of a predefined sliding codebook of Q unique radio frame configurations, a radio frame configuration for communicating with user equipments, and transmit (S907), to a master unit of a cluster which the slave units belong to, a request to use the determined radio frame configuration. The predefined sliding codebook comprises sub-codebooks each grouping together radio frame configurations of the Q unique radio frame configurations, that share the same downlink-to-uplink subframe ratio but with a phase offset of the radio frame configurations.

  • Patent number: 12231871
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program are provided for assessing a continuity of audio service by comparing a previous audio service with a first spatial audio service that uses user head-tracking and a second audio service to identify which of the first or second spatial audio service provides a continuity of audio service with respect to the previous audio service. If the first or second spatial audio service is assessed to provide continuity of audio service, the respective spatial audio service is selectively enabled. The first spatial audio service controls or sets at least one directional property of at least one sound source and the first spatial audio service is assessed to provide continuity of audio service if it can use head-tracking to control or set the at least one directional property of at least one sound source.
