Abstract: Method and arrangement in a user equipment for adjusting signals transmitted in uplink to a network node based on a feedback value received from the network node. The method includes transmitting a signal, to be received by the network node. A feedback signal is received from the network node, providing feedback on the transmitted signal. A value of a time delay of the received feedback signal is obtained. Signals transmitted in the uplink are adjusted according to the received feedback signal to compensate for the obtained time delay value of the received feedback signal. Related methods and arrangements in a network node are presented.

Abstract: An adaptive router anticipates possible future congestion and enables selection of an alternative route before the congestion occurs, thereby avoiding the congestion. The adaptive router may use a primary route until it predicts congestion will occur. The adaptive router measures packet traffic volume, such as flit volume, on a primary network interface to anticipate the congestion. The adaptive router maintains a trailing sum of the number of flits handled by the primary network interface over a trailing time period. If the sum exceeds a threshold value, the adaptive router assumes the route will become congested, and the adaptive router enables considering routing future packets, or at least the current packet, over possible secondary routes.

Abstract: A method for assessing quality of a transmission channel in a wireless network comprises the steps of a) a first station transmitting a first unicast message to a second station by said transmission channel; b) if no acknowledgement of the first unicast message is received from the second station, the first station transmitting a further unicast message at a higher power level, and c) if an acknowledgment of the first or any further unicast message is received from the second station, assessing the quality of the transmission channel based on the power level or the number of transmissions that were needed to trigger the acknowledgment.

Abstract: Isolator devices for a class A evacuation system are provided. The isolators each have specific address in the system. This allows the isolators to report individually with address information and status information, for example related to errors in the system and the device in particular. In an embodiment, a speaker can be connected to the device. This allows the speaker to be addressed individually so dedicated information like alarms and spoken messages can be sent to specific speakers. Dedicated isolators are available for announcing, powering the network and routing network traffic. Routers provide a possibility to create multiple loops, reducing wiring and increasing redundancy. By sending data in different branches by means of spread spectrum modulation, more data can be sent and effects of crosstalk between branches is highly reduced.
