  • Patent number: 11405838
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a bandwidth of a carrier signal providing access to a cellular radio network through a High Altitude Platform, HAP, the carrier signal being transmitted within a predetermined frequency spectrum channel, the HAP transmitting a first carrier signal of a first bandwidth in a first part of the predetermined frequency spectrum allocation, the method comprising: configuring transmission of a second carrier signal of a second bandwidth in a second part of the predetermined frequency spectrum allocation, the second bandwidth being different to the first bandwidth; and configuring handover of traffic from the first carrier signal to the second carrier signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160227378
    Abstract: A method for providing an indoor location of a mobile device, the mobile device having satellite navigation capabilities so that it is capable of reporting GNSS location information, the method comprising: upon detecting that the mobile device has stopped reporting its GNSS location information determining: i) whether a signal level value obtained from the signal levels reported by the mobile device from the serving cell and neighbouring cells has decreased more than a predefined amount of decibels during a first time window since the last GNNS location information was reported; and ii) whether the last reported GNSS location information was less than a predefined distance from a building; and using the position coordinates of such building as the location of the mobile device when both conditions i) and ii) are met.
