  • Patent number: 9451486
    Abstract: A method for performing measurements in a digital cellular wireless telecommunication network is provided. An embodiment of the method includes determining free resources of a set of cells of the telecommunication network, determining a subset of the plurality of mobile devices, setting the subset of the plurality of mobile devices into a probing mode, determining the location of the subset of mobile devices in the probing mode, exchanging test signals between the mobile devices in the probing mode and the base stations of the set of cells, performing a plurality of measurements of signal strengths and/or signal powers of the test signals, determining average values from the plurality of measurements, and storing the average values of the plurality of measurements to provide a result of the measurement.

  • Patent number: 9031551
    Abstract: A network element (326) of a cellular telecommunications system (300), the network element comprising: classification means (336) for assigning a classification to a user service, request (332) for a telecommunications service of the cellular telecommunications system; and—assigning means (338) for assigning a set of class specific cell configuration parameters (334) that are to be used for the provision of the telecommunications service, wherein the assignment of the class specific cell configuration parameters depends upon the classification.

  • Publication number: 20140146700
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for performing measurements in a digital cellular wireless telecommunication network (100; 102; 500), wherein the method comprises: —determining free resources of a set (508) of cells of the telecommunication network (100; 102, 500), wherein the set (508) of cells comprises a plurality of mobile devices, and wherein the free resources are usable for exchanging data between base stations of the set (508) of cells and the plurality of mobile devices; —determining a subset of the plurality of mobile devices; —setting the subset of the plurality of mobile devices into a probing mode; —determining the location of the subset of mobile devices in the probing mode; —exchanging test signals between the mobile devices in the probing mode and the base stations of the set (508) of cells, wherein the test signals comprise first and second pilot signals, wherein the first pilot signals are orthogonal to the second pilot signals, and wherein the test signals are exchanged by using the free

  • Patent number: 6741854
    Abstract: A cordless telecommunications system (CTS) with a base station (CTS-FP) and with at least one mobile station (MS) initialised at the base station (CTS-FP), for carrying out a process for transmitting operating parameters from a control centre (Z) of a superimposed telecommunications network (PLMN; PSTN, ISDN), which transmits operating parameters initially to the base station (CTS-FP) or to one of the mobile stations (MS) of the cordless telecommunications system (CTS) and then relays the operating parameters to as far as possible all initialised mobile stations or to the base station (CTS-FP) as well as to as far as possible all other initialised mobile stations (MS) is proposed. Thus, new operating parameters can easily be distributed centrally to one or more limited cordless telecommunications systems and can be activated.

  • Patent number: 6359924
    Abstract: Wireless telecommunications systems with at least one base station and with mobile user terminals are known where radio signals are transmitted and received in different time and frequency states. Both on user channels as well as on signaling channels there are radio signals that are transmitted corresponding to the predicted frequency hopping sequence.

  • Patent number: 6311062
    Abstract: A method for establishing a telecommunications link utilizing bursts in a digital radio network having at least one other digital radio network superposed thereon. The bursts of the two digital radio networks have the same bit structure but differ in a specific bit training sequence, and this training sequence of a burst is checked during the establishment of the telecommunications link. By processing only bursts with the training sequences of the desired digital radio network, erroneously received other bursts are filtered out and discarded.
