  • Publication number: 20100015661
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel antibody-RNase conjugate which is a single chain protein, providing both the specificity of its antibody portion and the RNase activity of its RNase portion, resulting in an antigen specific effectiveness against cells when applied in vivo or in vitro, wherein the RNase portion is effectively cytotoxic in at least a fraction of cells presenting the antigen, e.g. after internalization by endocytosis. In detail, the present invention provides scAb-RNase conjugate having the principal structure of scFvFc-RNase. This structure could also be shown to allow the effective production of antigen-specific and cytotoxic conjugate protein in cell culture, the conjugate having a high activity with respect to antigen specificity and cyto toxicity.

  • Patent number: 7197019
    Abstract: A method establishes a connection between a source network with a source network resource manager and a target network with a target network resource manager. According to the method, a connection control unit of the source network transmits a connection establishment signal to a connection control unit of the target network and—parallel to this—a reservation request to the target network resource manager. The target network resource reserves the requested resources and forwards the reservation request towards the target network resource manager, which also reserves the requested resources and transmits reservation information regarding the success of the resource reservations to the connection control unit of the target network.

  • Patent number: 7167482
    Abstract: A method and system for configuring a radio interface between a mobile station and a base station in a time-division multiplex mobile radio system for packet data transmission, wherein time slots for signalling are allocated by the base station to the mobile stations in accordance with a sequence which can be predetermined, independent of packet data transmission. The time for configuration of the radio interface also can be reduced by a plurality of time slots for signalling being combined to form a signalling block, or the signalling to a plurality of mobile stations being carried out within one time slot. This signalling is used to define and set the timing advance.

  • Patent number: 7106705
    Abstract: For a communication system (e.g. UMTS with CDMA radio interface), the invention draws a distinction between services with high and low data rate dynamics and uses a matched type of signaling for the transport formats currently being used. The data rate of the data for a service can fluctuate greatly and/or rapidly over time (high dynamics), or may fluctuate only a little and/or slowly (low dynamics). The data for the services are transmitted via a common physical channel, with in-band signaling being used for signaling the transport format for the services with high data rate dynamics, and with signaling in a separate channel being used for the services with low data rate dynamics.

  • Patent number: 7079656
    Abstract: The subject matter of the invention proceeds from an encryption of the information for the radio transmission in an access network (ACN) as well as an authentication in at least one core network (CON1, CON2). Inventively, public keys (PUK1-MT, PUK-BS) are mutually transmitted between a mobile station (MT) and the base station (BS) via the radio interface (AI), and the public key (PUK1-MT or PUK-BS) received by the base station (BS) or mobile station (MT) is employed for the encryption of the information to be subsequently sent via the radio interface. On the basis of a private key (PRK1-MT, PRK1-BS) that is allocated to the transmitted, public key (PUK1-MT, PUK-BS) in the mobile station (MT) or in the base station (BS), the encrypted information received by the mobile station or base station can be deciphered.

  • Patent number: 6721303
    Abstract: A method and system for configuring a radio interface between a mobile station and a base station in a time-division multiplex mobile radio system for packet data transmission, wherein time slots for signalling in the uplink direction are allocated by a base station to the mobile stations in accordance with a sequence which can be predetermined independently of packet data transmission. The fixed allocation of a time slot for signalling, in addition to mobile stations to which no physical channel is currently allocated, allows the base station to carry out continuous measurement relating to the radio interface. Thus, when packet data transmission resumes, immediately valid measurements are available for configuration of the radio interface.

  • Publication number: 20040058679
    Abstract: Network information is provided for a station that is adapted to exchange data via at least one interface for each of different communication networks. The station selects an interface or a network station for exchange of data based on the network information and carries out the data exchange via the selected interface or network station. Priorities are determined and allocated to the network information of network stations or communication networks which it can receive based on their signal strength.

  • Patent number: 6707807
    Abstract: In methods for signal transmission, a first radio burst is inventively transmitted in a time slot of the radio interface, in which a transmission-side synchronization of the transmission of the first radio burst occurs, so that the first radio burst arrives at the receiving radio station at a predetermined point in time within the time slot. At least one second radio burst that can be interpreted separately from the first radio burst is transmitted in the same time slot. The invention can be utilized for designing the access method (random access) in packet data services (GPRS) of the GSM mobile radio telephone system or in a TDD transmission mode of the third mobile radio telephone generation. This method may also be used to transmit many very short messages.

  • Publication number: 20040042508
    Abstract: A station manages the resources of a transmission channel to another station registered there in an operating mode in which the transmission channel is shared. Transmission information on the data that are to be consecutively transmitted is transmitted in a message block of information items to the registered station prior to the transmission of the data without requiring transmission of a complete message block to allocate resources before every data transmission. Identification information characterizing the data to be transmitted is included in the message block and data transmission is then announced in a signaling channel by transmitting the identification information prior to data transmission.

  • Patent number: 6622027
    Abstract: In a communications network, a first address information is transmitted from a first communication terminal equipment to a first switching node for setting up a communication connection, whereby first identification features are contained in the first address information. The first switching node interprets the first address information with the first identification features and derives a second address information for addressing a first address converter therefrom. At least parts of the first identification features are communicated to the first address converter. Second identification features are generated from the first identification features, said second identification features serving the purpose of addressing a second switching node. The communication connection between the first and second switching node is set up with the second identification features.

  • Patent number: 6600731
    Abstract: In order to call mobile'stations, mobile stations are, according to the invention, allocated to time slots for calling on the basis of subscriber-specific profiles. The number of time slots allocated for calling within a macroframe can be set individually for the mobile, stations. The requirement for time slots allocated for calling is thus covered individually for each mobile station. For time-critical applications, shorter delay times can be achieved using the method according to the invention.
