  • Patent number: 8280385
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for allocating spectrum in a wireless communication system that supports simultaneously at least a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. Logic is arranged for determining a proportion of spectrum required for the wireless communication unit to operate simultaneously in both the first mode of operation and the second mode of operation. Logic for allocating spectrum allocates a temporary guard band between a first portion of spectrum for the first mode of operation and a second portion of spectrum for the second mode of operation for use while the wireless communication unit operates simultaneously in the first mode of operation and second mode of operation.

  • Patent number: 8243709
    Abstract: A method (400) and arrangement (200) for mitigation of intercell and intracell interference in a 3GPP cellular communication system (100) by, in a receiver in a cell of the system, deriving for a first channel in the cell a signal, representative of first channel transfer function (A(1)); deriving for at least a second channel originating in a different cell a signal (A(2 . . . M)), representative of second channel transfer function, based on: deriving a cell specific scrambling code (s), deriving a channel impulse response (h), and deriving a channelization code (c); and performing multi-user detection using the first and second signals. Where the channelization code is unknown, a substitute channelization code is preferably substituted. It will be appreciated that the technique can be applied to both downlink and uplink. This provides the advantage that both intra-cell interference and intercell interference are mitigated.

  • Patent number: 8229008
    Abstract: An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) communication system comprises OFDM transmitters, an OFDM receiver, and a subcarrier status data controller for transmitting subcarrier status data to the OFDM receiver. The subcarrier status data indicates the active subcarriers of the OFDM transmitters. The OFDM receiver comprises a receiver, a subcarrier status processor, a channel estimator, and an interference mitigation processor.

  • Patent number: 8228877
    Abstract: A multi-user detector (200) and method (300) for use in a cellular CDMA system (100) based on: estimating (210) spare code resource available in a first cell of the system; selecting (220) at least a second cell neighbouring the first cell; selecting (230) from codes associated with the second cell at least one additional code; and performing (240) multi-user detection processing in the first cell with the at least one additional code. On the downlink, codes from other users in the same cell may be treated with the same level of priority as those of users from neighbour cells, codes allocated to the UE having the highest priority; on the uplink, codes of all users in the same cell may have the same priority which is higher than that of neighbour cell users.

  • Patent number: 8195757
    Abstract: For managing the retention of publications in a publish/subscribe system, a publisher sends a new publication to a publish/subscribe broker with an indication of whether the new publication should be retained in association with a previous retained publication. The publish/subscribe broker responds to such indications by retaining the new publication with the previous retained publication. The contents or ‘payload’ of the new published message may be appended to a previous retained message, resulting in a single retained message that contains information from multiple published messages.

  • Publication number: 20120063431
    Abstract: A cellular communication system Multiple-In Multiple-Out, MIMO, transmitter includes a plurality of antennas, a selector that selects training sequences for messages, a generator that generates messages including selected training sequences, and a transmitter that transmits the messages on the plurality of antennas. The selector selects a training sequence for a message from a set of training sequences in response to an associated antenna on which the message is to be transmitted. The set of training sequences is associated with a cell of the MIMO transmitter and includes disjoint subsets of training sequences for each of the plurality of antennas.

  • Patent number: 8081597
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a root node of a wireless communication infrastructure that buffers data packets for transmission by base stations over an air interface. The root node determines a time delay for transmission of a data packet from the root node to each base station, a maximum time delay of those time delays, and a timing latency based upon the maximum time delay. The root node transmits the timing latency to the base stations. In response, each base station initiates transmission of data packets received by the root node after expiration of the timing latency. Alternatively, the root node, instead of the base stations, may buffer the data packets, and transmit them so that they arrive at the base stations at substantially the same time.

  • Patent number: 8076298
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing and/or treating subjects with acute renal failure caused by a variety of conditions. The method comprises administering to the subject soluble thrombomodulin which does not activate Protein C. In conjunction with standard of care, soluble thrombomodulin that does not activate Protein C will prevent or reduce acute kidney injury and subsequent morbidity and mortality.

  • Publication number: 20110292858
    Abstract: A method for supporting broadcast transmissions and unicast communications in a wireless communication system is described. The method comprises supporting unicast communication in a first mode of operation wherein at least one unicast data transmission unit is encoded and communicated within a time-continuous sub-frame of a first length and a first number of timeslots. The method further comprises supporting broadcast transmission in a second mode of operation, wherein at least one broadcast data transmission unit is encoded communicated over a time period that comprises a discontinuous plurality of the time-continuous sub-frames of the first length.

  • Publication number: 20110284527
    Abstract: An auxiliary welding heating system includes an induction heating coil disposed adjacent to a welding torch or plasma cutter. The auxiliary welding heating system further includes an induction power supply configured to generate an alternating current and a step-down transformer coupled to the induction power supply. The induction heating coil is coupled to the step-down transformer and is configured to receive the alternating current and induce eddy currents in a welding work piece to heat the welding work piece before an advancing welding arc or plasma cut to a homologous temperature of at least approximately 0.5.

  • Patent number: 8045599
    Abstract: A cellular communication system comprises a Multiple-In Multiple-Out, MIMO, transmitter (101) and receiver (103). The MIMO transmitter (101) comprises a message generator (303) for generating MIMO messages comprising selected training sequences and transceivers (305, 307, 309) transmitting the messages on a plurality of antennas (311, 313, 315). The training sequences are selected by a midamble selector (317) from a set of training sequences in response to an associated antenna on which the message is to be transmitted. The set of training sequences is associated with the cell of the MIMO transmitter and comprises disjoint subsets of training sequences for each of the plurality of antennas. The receiver (103) comprises a transmit antenna detector (419) which determines which antenna of the MIMO transmitter the message is transmitted from in response to the training sequence of the received message.
