Patent number: 9960934Abstract: Channel estimation with reduced overhead in a filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) system is enabled by use of frequency-time blocks each comprising a pilot field with two pilot symbols and data symbols outside the pilot field. In embodiments, nearest neighbors of the pilot field are populated with data symbols which fulfill one or more symmetry relations enabling approximate interference cancellation. In a first embodiment, the pilot field consists of two frequency-consecutive and time-coinciding positions; the pilot field may be time-initial in a transmission or may be located in the interior of the transmission. In a second embodiment, a block comprises two frequency-coinciding and time-consecutive pilot symbols; the pilot field may be frequency-initial in a transmission or may be located in the interior of the transmission.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2015Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Ning He, Robert Baldemair, Ather Gattami, Anders Hansson

Publication number: 20180107880Abstract: A method and system for tracking objects in a defined area compares image data of a detected object to profiles of persons that have entered the defined area to find the best match and connect the profile of the best match to the detected object. Identification profiles of persons that have been identified, by presenting their credentials, when entering the defined area are registered as candidates and are later matched with objects detected in the defined area. The system and method use the physical access control system of the defined area to reduce the number of candidates for the detected objects to the most likely candidates. The processing time and need for resources of the object tracking in the defined area are thereby reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Applicant: Axis ABInventors: Niclas Danielsson, Anders Hansson

Patent number: 9491710Abstract: Joint uplink transmission power and bit rate control is provided. Data bits are received by a network Node B on an enhanced dedicated channel, E-DCH, from a user equipment, UE. End-user quality of service, QoS, for the received data bits is estimated. System coverage at a radio receiver of the network Node B is estimated. The estimated end-user QoS and the estimated system coverage represent a current working point of the UE. The current working point of the UE is related to a preferred working point. As a result thereof a transmission power control, TPC, command and a scheduling grant, SG, is determined for the UE so as to move the current working point towards the preferred working point and thereby adjust uplink transmission power and bit rate.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2012Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSONInventors: Krister Norlund, Anders Hansson
