Patent number: 10595230Abstract: A method, system and device load balancing in a telecommunications network is provided where a selection of one or more User Equipments (UEs), to be relocated from a source cell to a target cell is based on a prediction value of the performance in the target cell. The prediction of the performance in the target cell is performed by mapping the current load of the target cell and a current detected signal of the target cell, into a perceived performance, perceived by UEs that have been relocated previously. After relocation of the UE the perceived performance in the target cell is measured and fed back by the target cell radio base station (RBS) to the source cell RBS, and used for updating the predicted performance value.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2017Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Sven Ekemark, Håkan Eriksson, Lena Melin

Patent number: 7463599Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a periodic message in a mobile communication system includes initiating, at a receiver, a reception of synchronization data a predetermined amount of time prior to a current periodic message. The predetermined amount of time is based on at least one of an estimated signal quality value from at least one prior periodic message and an estimated error in the at least one prior periodic message. The synchronization data is used to achieve synchronization, and the current periodic message is detected based on the synchronization.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2002Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (PUBL)Inventors: Bengt Lindoff, Håkan Eriksson

Patent number: 7346126Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for estimating a gain offset between two channels in a communication system. The gain offset arises from the system's transmission of signals on the two channels at different powers. The estimated gain offset is used for determining a set of complex channel estimates.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Johan Nilsson, Håkan Eriksson, Bo Bernhardsson

Patent number: 7197063Abstract: Method and system are disclosed for providing advanced RAKE delay control in wireless communications systems. The RAKE delay control method and system of the invention is capable of tracking presently known paths over time and merging the tracking results with new path searcher results. The invention is particularly suitable for devices where the resources (e.g., computational load, power) available for detecting the multipath components are limited. The result is a resource efficient architecture for positioning the RAKE fingers to best extract the signal power available in the channel and to utilize the inherent diversity due to the multipath nature of the signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2003Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Andres Reial, Anders Ericsson, Christer Östberg, Robert Svensson, Johan Nilsson, Håkan Eriksson

Patent number: 7149258Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for estimating a phase offset between two channels in a communication system to allow the use of both in determining a complex channel estimate. The phase offset arises from the system's rotation of only one of the two signaling channels prior to its transmission on one of the two antennas in transmission diversity mode. The phase offset is calculated in a receiver, such as a mobile station. For example, in a 3GPP system, the DPCH, which is rotated, and the CPICH, which is not, may be used in channel estimation.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2001Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Johan Nilsson, Håkan Eriksson

Patent number: 7065130Abstract: A method and system enables matched filters of a CDMA system to be simplified using a two stage search. A course stage and a fine stage jointly produce the location(s) of received signal path-rays. In a first stage, an oversampled digital signal is decimated, and the decimated signal is applied to a matched filter to eventually produce an approximate location. In a second stage, the oversampled signal is shifted based on the determined approximate location and then correlated to a generated code, and a more-exact location is selected from the outputs of the correlations. Alternatively, a shifted version of the generated code is correlated to the oversampled signal, and the more-exact location is selected from the outputs of those correlations.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2000Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Roozbeh Atarius, Håkan Eriksson, Torgny Palenius, Christer Östberg, Torsten Carlsson, Kjell Gustafsson

Patent number: 6734749Abstract: Direct frequency modulation of a phase-locked loop (PLL) output signal is achieved by means of a modulation signal comprising a digital sequence. The digital modulation signal is coupled to the input of the VCO of the PLL, and is also coupled to drive an up-down counter. The output of the counter is coupled to a D/A converter to provide a compensation signal for the PLL. When the counter output reaches values representing modulation-induced phase errors of +360 degrees and −360 degrees, the counter generates signals respectively corresponding thereto to adjust the PLL frequency divider.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2001Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Sven Mattisson, Håkan Eriksson

Patent number: 6631277Abstract: In a radio network which employs adaptive antennas for transmission of data to mobiles methods and apparatus are provided for improving the reception of transmitted data. When a block is to be transmitted in a first beam of the antenna and the block contains information for the mobile in the second beam, a modulation and coding scheme is used for the transmission of the block such that the modulation and coding scheme provides greater protection to the portion of the block containing information for the mobile in the second beam. The use of greater protection for the portion of the block which includes information for the mobile in the second beam increases the probability that the mobile in the second beam can receive and correctly decode the information intended for the mobile in the second beam in the block.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2001Date of Patent: October 7, 2003Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Magnus Berg, Håkan Eriksson, Lars-Göran Lund, Sven Ekemark

Patent number: 6373882Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for reducing the power consumed by a RAKE receiver. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, an environment variation estimator is implemented in a CDMA mobile station. The environment variation estimator is connected to the searcher of the RAKE receiver and provides an estimate of the rate at which the mobile station's environment is changing. By providing an estimate of the rate of change of the mobile station's environment, the duty cycle of the searcher can be optimized, thereby reducing the overall power consumed by the receiver. By also providing the estimate to the RAKE fingers, channel tracking can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1998Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Roozbeh Atarius, Torsten Carlsson, Håkan Eriksson, Kjell Gustafsson, Torgny Palenius, Christer Östberg

Patent number: 6337876Abstract: A transmitter in a radiocommunications system such as a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) communications system transmits one set of data on an in-phase (I-) channel and another set of data on a quadrature (Q-) channel. The transmitter generates a gain signal, &bgr;, and multiplies the digital data associated with the Q-channel by the gain signal, &bgr;. Complexity of the multiplication operation is reduced by limiting the gain signal, &bgr;, to a finite number of values that are exactly representable by a predefined number of bits, such as 4-bit values to the right of a binary radix point. Modulation inaccuracy associated with quantization of &bgr; can be eliminated by utilizing the same quantized values of &bgr; in all components within the radiocommunications system.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1998Date of Patent: January 8, 2002Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Torgny Palenius, Håkan Eriksson
