  • Patent number: 10362573
    Abstract: Methods and systems for multi-protocol transmissions in shared spectrum are disclosed. According to principles described herein, a wireless transmitter is configured to generate subcarriers or symbol information from one OFDM technology using subcarriers of another OFDM technology. With this approach, a wireless transmitter configured to transmit OFDM symbols using subcarriers and a subcarrier frequency spacing associated with one OFDM protocol can also be configured to transmit OFDM symbols associated with another OFDM protocol which normally uses different subcarriers and a different subcarrier frequency spacing. In one application, an LTE transmitter uses LTE subcarriers to generate 802.11 (e.g.

  • Patent number: 10278214
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods enabling a node of a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) to detect (co-channel) frames and/or Access Points (APs)/nodes of a second RAT using receiver hardware of the first RAT are disclosed. While not being limited thereto, in some embodiments, the first RAT is Long Term Evolution (LTE) and the second RAT is Wi-Fi, and systems and methods are disclosed that enable a LTE node (e.g., an LTE Radio Access Network (RAN) node such as a base station or a low power node operating in an unlicensed frequency band) to detect Wi-Fi preambles and/or Wi-Fi beacons (and thus the number of co-channel Wi-Fi APs).

  • Patent number: 10270563
    Abstract: It is presented a method of allocating resources of a first uplink subframe being part of a radio frame, each resource being a combination of a frequency range, and a time slot and a code. The method is performed in a network node and comprises: determining a first set of resources allocated for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, feedback in the first uplink subframe; determining a second set of resources allocated for HARQ feedback in a second uplink subframe being part of the radio frame; identifying free resources in the first uplink subframe by identifying resources of the second set of resources which have no correspondence in the first set of resources; and allocating when a free resource is found, at least part of the free resources to a use other than HARQ feedback. A corresponding network node is also presented.

  • Patent number: 10176660
    Abstract: The invention relates to the fitness check of value documents. For at least two fitness criteria there is respectively determined with the aid of an unfit function an unfit degree of the particular value document. The unfit function clearly assigns an unfit degree to the fitness measurement values and has two threshold values, beyond which the unfit degree with respect to the relevant fitness criterion is 0 or 1. Between the threshold values there is an uncertainty range in which the unfit degree is, with respect to the relevant fitness criterion, between 0 and 1 and the unfit function behaves monotonously dropping or monotonously rising. Subsequently, the unfit degrees of different fitness criteria are combined into an unfit probability of the particular value document and on the basis of the unfit probability a fitness classification of the particular value document is carried out.

  • Patent number: 10017341
    Abstract: In a bank-note processing machine, bank notes are guided through between two components of a checking device by means of a transport band. The transport band is led away at least partly from the checking device by means of deflection rollers to enable a better check of the bank notes and a trouble-free transport of the bank notes.
