Abstract: Speed indication device (100) for determining a speed indication signal (410) indicating a speed of a wireless mobile telecommunication device (14) relative to the speed indication device (100), wherein the speed indication device (100) determines the speed indication signal (410) from a sequence of transmit power control commands sent by the wireless mobile telecommunication device (14) to an access point (12) in a wireless telecommunication device (14) to an access point (12) in a wireless telecommunication network for controlling, in use, a transmit power of a radio signal transmitted by the access point (12) to the wireless mobile telecommunication device (14). If the relative speed is found to be above a threshold, the speed may be calculated using a measurement of the Doppler frequency.

Abstract: A telecommunications system (18) has a capacity management system (100) which provides a user equipment unit agent (150) for each wireless user equipment unit (20) with which a connection is to be established. The user equipment agent negotiates resources for the prospective connection to be established with its corresponding user equipment unit. In the negotiation, the user equipment agent determines a number of purchase units expendable by the user equipment unit for the negotiation, and issues a resource request to begin the negotiation. Each resource has a resource unit price at which a unit of the resource is sold. In response to the resource request issued by the user equipment agent, connection resources are allocated to the user equipment unit in accordance with what the number of purchase units expendable by the user equipment unit can afford. The resource unit price for the resources is dynamically adjusted, e.g., in accordance with load on the telecommunication system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of and a device for estimating system requirements of a radio telecommunication network (1). In a first step the area of interest is split in geographical regions with regard to their structural environment. In a next step each region is split in homogeneous zones with regard to such parameters as the height of the structures, their height variation, the distribution of the height variation and the type of vegetation. Each zone is further classified with regard to the typical building materials used and information of the system deployment conditions. From the area of each zone a preliminary number of radio access units (2) is calculated using its classification data and the range of the radio access unit (2) in such a zone. Thereafter the number of radio access units (2) of a zone or a group of like zones is examined with respect to the communication capacity required.
