Abstract: The described messaging arrangement for delivering communication messages to recipients in a communication system comprises a number of messaging servers (201-204), a common message store (205) and a dispatcher (206). The messaging servers (201-204) are able to receive a message destined to a recipient, to store the message in the common message store and to inform the dispatcher of the received message that has been stored in the common message store. The dispatcher is then arranged to decide which messaging server to invoke for delivery of the message to the recipient. This decision could be made based on delivery preferences of the recipient. Thereafter, the dispatcher invokes the messaging server that has been decided to deliver the message, and the decided messaging server retrieves and delivers the message to the recipient. If necessary, the decided messaging server adapts the message to a message type handled by the decided messaging server.

Driving flexibility in automatic drive mode increases.

Abstract: A basic idea for efficient media communication between two nodes in a group communication system is to set up a number, N, of parallel, separate media streams of the same media type in a given direction between the nodes, where N is equal to or greater than 2. Before setting up the media streams, the actual number of media streams is negotiated (S1). Once the negotiation is completed, the media streams are established (S2). Media data of the same type can then be transferred in parallel, media streams (S3), where each media stream may include media data from a separate source or from a mix of sources. In this way, a richer and/or more personalized rendering of the media data is enabled since media data may be transported as individual media streams and processed locally in a participant, rather than processed and mixed into a single stream by a central mixer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an echo canceller (300) for estimating a model of an echo signal and a method thereof. The echo canceller comprises at least an adaptive main filter (301) for modeling the echo signal and an adaptive shadow filter (302) for modeling the echo signal. The adaptive main filter is an adaptive filter for which the adaptation speed is proportional to a system noise estimate and the adaptation speed of the shadow filter (302) is faster than the adaptation speed of the adaptive main filter (301). The echo canceller (300) comprises a processor (303) for determining whether the adaptive shadow filter models the echo signal better than the adaptive main filter and an updater (304) for updating the system noise estimate of the adaptive main filter (301) if the adaptive shadow filter models (302) the echo signal better than the adaptive main filter (301).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for an improved noise canceller in a speech encoder. Sound signals are captured at a primary microphone in conjunction with a reference microphone. An adaptive shadow filter is adapted to the correlation between the signals captured at the primary and reference microphones. Further, a diffuse-noise-field detector is introduced which detects the presence of diffuse noise. When the diffuse-noise-field detector detects diffuse noise, the filter coefficients of the adapted shadow filter is used by a primary filter to cancel the diffuse noise at the signal captured by the primary microphone. Since the filter coefficients of the adapted shadow filter only is used for cancellation when diffuse noise is solely detected, cancellation of the speech signal is avoided.

Abstract: A method and a vehicle cruise control system performing the steps of driving with the cruise control active and set to maintain a set target speed, registering a first position when driving in an uphill slope of a hill where vehicle retardation has decreased vehicle speed to a first speed below the set target speed and where the retardation has decreased to zero or acceleration has just started in order to increase speed to the set target speed, registering a desired speed in a second position downhill of the crest at a first distance after the crest, based on the desired speed calculating a minimum speed at the crest with which the vehicle has to pass the crest in order to be able to reach the desired speed with zero fuel consumption during the first distance, controlling speed between the first position and the crest so that the vehicle reaches the minimum speed when passing the crest.

Abstract: A method and Domain Name System (DNS) server for establishing a communication session in an Internet Protocol (IP)-based communication network. The DNS server receives a query containing a DNS name of a destination terminal as a search key, and determines whether an IP address for the DNS name is registered with the DNS server. If so, the DNS server returns the registered IP address to the sender of the query. If not, the DNS server sends a wake-up message to the destination terminal which, in response, establishes an IP data session with the communication network. The DNS server then receives an IP address for the destination terminal from an access server or from a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server, and returns the received IP address to the sender of the query.

Abstract: The invention relates to a low latency transport of an Internet message over a connection from an Internet message-sending node to an Internet Message-receiving node. Said Internet Message-sending node determines the size of the Internet message (40) and compares the size of with a pre-determined single-packet threshold (42). Thereafter, the Internet Message-sending node performs a TCP Internet message-transport (44) over said connection if the size of the Internet message is larger than said single-packet threshold, and a single-packet (UDP) Internet message-transport (45, 46) if the size of the Internet message is smaller than said single-packet threshold.

Abstract: A method and cruise control system are provided and include a control unit arranged for maintaining a vehicle set target speed. The control unit is programmed to register a first parameter, which is vehicle gross weight, and a second parameter, which is current road inclination. The control unit is further programmed to, based on the registered first and second parameters, adjust as set vehicle overspeed for a brake cruise control in the cruise control to a new value. A vehicle speed increase resulting in a vehicle speed that exceeds due to delays in the cruise control and braking devices can be avoided.

Abstract: A method and cruise control system for controlling a vehicle cruise control includes driving the vehicle with the cruise control active and set to maintain a vehicle set target speed, and registering a current vehicle condition, which includes at least a current vehicle position, a currently engaged gear ratio, available gear ratios, current vehicle speed, available maximum propulsion torque and road topography of coming travelling road comprising a next coming uphill slope. Based on the current vehicle condition a downshift is predicted at a coming vehicle position in the coming uphill slope due to vehicle speed decrease and at least one activity is selected which results in that the downshift can be postponed or avoided. The cruise control is controlled according to the selected activity in order to postpone or avoid, for example a downshift from a direct gear and thereby saves fuel.

Abstract: A method for operating a semi-automatic or automatic manual transmission of a heavy truck when driving at idle speed. The method includes supplying fuel to the engine of the heavy truck at a rate that facilitates engine-idle operation. In another step, the method engages the automatic or semi-automatic transmission in a gear higher than the starting gear of the transmission and permits the truck to operate at a first substantially uniform driving velocity under engine-idle power. Depending upon traffic and environmental requirements which require a slower or higher speed, the driver downshifts or upshifts the semi-automatic or automatic transmission by depressing a control pedal of the truck and then drives the truck at a second substantially uniform driving velocity under engine-idle power. For a downshift, the second substantially uniform driving velocity is less than the first substantially uniform driving velocity.
