Abstract: A communication method of coordinated multi-point transmission systems. Based on the Zadoff-Chu sequences, multiple training sequences are implemented, and the training sequences are a set of robust orthogonal training sequence (ROTS). Preamble signals that use the set of training sequences can be transmitted from multiple base stations/relay stations at the same time. In the case with the mixture signal of multiple preamble signals, user equipment can still use the received signal to estimate multiple carrier frequency offsets of the corresponding base stations/relay stations.

Abstract: A system, a network node, a router, a method and a program used to determine a bottleneck bandwidth on a multi-hop path between a source and destination node is presented. The method comprises receiving probe packets by a first hop node in the multi-hop path, measuring a bandwidth on a link between the first hop node and a next hop node in the multi-hop path, generating a bandwidth discovery packet including the measured bandwidth, transmitting the BDP to the next hop node, relaying the probe packets to the next hop node, and determining if the next hop node is a last-hop node on the multi-hop path. A last hop node records the measured bandwidth from the BDP, adjusts the delay between the probe packets based upon the bandwidth and relaying the probe packets to the destination node. The destination node determines the bottleneck bandwidth based on the delay between the probe packets.

Abstract: A method for controlling advertising of routing data to neighbor routers is presented. A list of prefixes is maintained (301) and each prefix is associated (302) with an own indicator vector that contains a data item for each of the neighbor routers so that the data item indicates (304) whether the prefix concerned is to be advertised to the neighbor router concerned. For each neighbor router there is (303) a handling pointer pointing to the prefix that is relevant to the status of an advertising process related to this neighbor router, and the handling pointer is moved forward on the list of prefixes according as the prefixes are advertised to this neighbor router. As there is no need to maintain an own list of prefixes for each neighbor router separately, but only neighbor router-specific entries in the indicator vectors, savings can be achieved in the required memory space.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and arrangements that make it possible to control the delay for the UEs to access the EUL resources in the Enhanced Uplink in CELL_FACH state procedure, independently from the delay for the UEs to access 5 ordinary UL resources in the RACH procedure. This is achieved by a solution where the timing of entering (or re-entering) a transmission procedure for Enhanced Uplink in CELL-FACH state is controlled with the help of a transmission control parameter defined specifically for this transmission procedure, instead of using the same parameter as for the RACH procedure.

Abstract: A data Interface for transferring digital data between a host and a client over a communication path using packet structures linked together to form a communication protocol for communicating a pre-selected set of digital control and presentation data. The signal protocol is used by link controllers configured to generate, transmit, and receive packets forming the communications protocol, and to form digital data into one or more types of data packets, with at least one residing in the host device and being coupled to the client through the communications path. The interface provides a cost-effective, low power, bi-directional, high-speed data transfer mechanism over a short-range “serial” type data link, which lends itself to implementation with miniature connectors and thin flexible cables which are especially useful in connecting display elements such as wearable micro-displays to portable computers and wireless communication devices.

In still other embodiments, techniques are provided to minimize the volume of the router advertisement messages sent over a wireless network, and to proactively send a unicast router advertisement message to a mobile client device that has performed a handoff, without waiting for a router solicitation message.
