  • Radio equipment positioning
    Patent number: 9979083
    Abstract: A device, a method, a system, and a computer program product for installation, positioning and/or repositioning of a radio device are disclosed. Using a positioning device, an identification information of the radio device and at least one first positioning parameter associated with the radio device are received for positioning of the radio device on an installation surface. The positioning device determines at least one second positioning parameter of the radio device. The first and second positioning parameters are compared and the radio device is positioned based on at least one of the following: the first positioning parameter and the second positioning parameter.
    Type: Grant

  • Adaptive communication
    Patent number: 7418039
    Abstract: The invention provides a system for analysing a signal received over a channel to determine the channel characteristics. The determined characteristics are then used to divide the sub-carriers up into groups with similar fading characteristics and allocating a pilot channel to each group. The determined pilot allocation scheme is then used for future transmissions across the channel.
