  • Patent number: 9825780
    Abstract: Combinational networks may provide simultaneous connectivity over networks of different network types between user equipment. A communication session, comprising a circuit switched call and one or more packet switched sessions, may be deployed simultaneously over different network types, in relation to the same user equipment. The circuit switched call and the packet switched session can be correlated, in which case the communication session is regarded as a combinational session. By introducing a number of logical databases that contain actual data on network addresses and communication sessions, a correlation check is deployed applied by a correlation node. The check consists of a number of queries towards said databases or to other network entities, yielding whether the communication session is to be regarded as combinational. The result of the check may e.g. be deployed in an on-line combinational charging system.

  • Patent number: 9826528
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for reconfiguring a user equipment (UE) to operate in a reconfigured TDD UL-DL configuration. An initial uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration for TDD communication may be provided for communication between an e Node B and a UE. One or more subframes within each frame transmitted using the initial UL-DL configuration may be identified as flexible subframes. The identification of flexible subframes may permit the identification of timing for HARQ transmissions that does not change when a reconfiguration takes place. A different UL-DL configuration may be transmitted to the UE, in which at least one flexible subframe is to be changed from an uplink subframe to a downlink subframe. The different UL-DL configuration may be transmitted by, for example, a pseudo-uplink grant to the UE, which indicates that the UE is to reconfigure one or more flexible subframes from uplink to downlink transmission.

  • Patent number: 9825203
    Abstract: A light emitting diode chip includes an epitaxial layer with a plurality of recess portions and protrusion portions over the top layer; a light transmission layer, located between top ends of adjacent protrusion portions and forming holes with the recess portions. The light transmission layer has a horizontal dimension larger than a width of the top ends of two adjacent protrusion portions, and serves as current blocking layer; a current spreading layer covering the surface of the light transmission layer and the surface of an epitaxial layer of a non-mask light transmission layer. As the refractive index of the light transmission layer is between those of the epitaxial layer and the hole, indicating a difference of refractive index between the light transmission layer and the epitaxial layer, the probability of scattering generated when light from a luminescent layer emits upwards can be increased, thus avoiding light absorption by electrodes and improving light extraction efficiency.
