  • Patent number: 6298219
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the determination of neighbours of a sub-cell (122C) in a cellular radio network base station (100) applying dynamic channel allocation, and to a base station (100) implementing the method. The base station (100) comprises at least two sub-cells (122A, 122B, 122C). Each sub-cell (122A, 122B, 122C) comprises an antenna unit (118A, 118B, 118C) with a fixed connection to the base station (100). A transceiver (TRX1-TRX2-TRXN) is used for transmitting a signal through an antenna unit (118A, 118B, 118C). A measurement unit (124) measures through the antenna unit (118A, 118B, 118C) the reception power of the received signal. The invention is characterized in that a transceiver (TRX1) is used for transmitting a test signal (200) through the antenna unit of the sub-cell (122C) under examination. The test signal (200) is received though the antenna units (118A, 118B) of the of the sub-cells (122A, 122B).

  • Patent number: 6185412
    Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure for ensuring emergency calls in a wireless local loop environment which is based on technology employed in a mobile telephone system and which comprises a telephone exchange (1), an access node (2) connected to the telephone exchange, a terminal device (3) and a base station (4) connected to the telephone exchange via the access node and serving to transmit call signals between the access node and the terminal device, in which the home network (5) of the terminal device is defined by the base station and the associated access node and in which base stations (7) of other networks are disposed in the environment of the local loop, so that the terminal device receives information signals from the surrounding base stations and, based on said information signals, determines the base station it is communicating with, and the emergency call is set up via any base station compatible with the terminal device.
