  • Patent number: 10374994
    Abstract: A messaging system for both generating and receiving message data, which breaks up a sent message and displays it as a time sequence of message parts on the receiving user's device. Breaks in the sent message are defined by delimiters, which are inserted into the message data by the user on the generate device and are detected by the receiving device. Delimiters or other part of the message data determine the time period for each part of the message. The first part of the message is displayed on the receiving user's device for the time period associated with that part. Once the time period for the first message part has expired, the next message part is displayed in addition to the preceding part. This continues until the whole sent message is displayed, thus creating a timeline of message parts for the receiving user.

  • Patent number: 10278191
    Abstract: A method for mitigating interference at a small base station in a hierarchical cell structure is provided. In the method, the small base station checks a sub-frame allocated to macro user equipment by using a downlink signal received from a macro base station when an interference candidate user equipment list is received. The interference candidate user equipment list contains information on the macro user equipment adjacent to a femto cell controlled by the small base station. Then the small base station allocates other sub-frame to femto user equipment located in the femto cell by avoiding the sub-frame allocated to the macro user equipment.
