  • Patent number: 10129004
    Abstract: A method for allocating radio resources in a wide band radio communication network for uplink communications, the network including cells, each having a base station and terminals, the method including during connection of a first terminal to a first base station of a first cell: performing reference signal quality measurements, defined respectively for the terminals of the cells by each base station, analyzing the interference detected from the first terminal on the uplink communications from the terminals connected to the base stations, the analysis being carried out as a function of the reference signal quality measurements, by each base station, allocating radio resources by the first base station for an uplink communication from the first terminal, as a function of the analysis results on detection of interference from the first terminal on the uplink communications from the other terminals of the cells, the results coming from each cell.

  • Patent number: 9756577
    Abstract: A method for defining a parameter value for controlling the transmission power of a set of user equipment served by a cell defined by a base station of a cellular telecommunication network, includes, for the base station, receiving, from the set of user equipment located in the cell, a set of attenuation values including, respectively by piece of equipment, an attenuation value of a signal transmitted by the base station and received by the piece of user equipment and, if the piece of user equipment is also located in a non-serving cell, an attenuation value of a signal transmitted by the base station of the non-serving cell and received by the piece of user equipment; determining, from the set of received attenuation values, a value of a parameter for controlling the transmission power; and sending, to the set of user equipment served by the cell, the value of the control parameter.

  • Patent number: 9557392
    Abstract: Integrated magnetometer comprising a plurality of multilayer magnetoresistive sensors deposited on a surface, called the top surface, of a substantially planar substrate, characterized in that said top surface of the substrate has at least one cavity or protuberance provided with a plurality of inclined faces, and in that at least four said magnetoresistive sensors are placed on four said magnetoresistive sensors are placed on four said inclined faces, having different orientations and opposite one another in pairs, each sensor being sensitive to one component of an external magnetic field parallel to that face on which it is placed. Process for manufacturing such a magnetometer.

  • Patent number: 6191581
    Abstract: A magnetic field sensor which includes a planar thin-film element made of a crystalline magnetoresistive material exhibiting resistivity anisotropy in a plane, having a first and a second easy axis of magnetization. The planar thin-film element has electrical connections allowing a first electrical measurement current to flow through the planar thin-film element in a first direction, as well as two other electrical connections allowing a voltage to be measured in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The two easy axes of magnetization have comparable magnetization values.
