Patent number: 9949100Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for facilitating remote participance in a community. A method may include causing an anchor terminal located at a first location to use a proximity-based wireless communication technology to participate in an ad hoc community formed at least in part by the anchor terminal and one or more further terminals at the first location using the proximity-based wireless communication technology to communicate with each other. The method may further include causing the anchor terminal to maintain a connection to a structured network, thereby enabling a remote terminal to participate in the community. The method may additionally include, in an instance in which the remote terminal participates in the community, causing the anchor terminal to serve as a gateway between the terminals participating in the community at the first location and the remote terminal. A corresponding apparatus is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2012Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Sverre Slotte, Juha Johannes Salokannel, Lauri Heikki Laitinen, Jari Henrik Junell

Patent number: 9473946Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to for resource coexistence management in RF white spaces. An example embodiment includes a method including receiving by a control node of a wireless network, an allocation of resources and an indication of allowance to release resources temporarily from a network controller serving the control node; and transmitting by the control node to the network controller, a message indicating temporary release of a portion of the allocated resources.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Mika Kasslin, Jari Henrik Junell -
Publication number: 20150016364Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for facilitating remote participance in a community. A method may include determining, at a network node accessible via a structured network, a community identifier for an ad hoc community formed at least in part by a plurality of terminals at a first location using a proximity-based wireless communication technology to communicate with each other. The method may further include causing storage at the network node of the determined community identifier and associated membership information for the community. The membership information may include contact information associated with at least one of the plurality of terminals 10. A corresponding apparatus is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2011Publication date: January 15, 2015Applicant: NOKIA CORPORATIONInventors: Jari Henrik Junell, Lauri Heikki Laitinen, Juha Johannes Salokannel, Sverre Slotte

Patent number: 8909274Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to for efficient radio spectrum use, and more particularly to the resolution of resource allocation conflicts in RF white spaces. An example embodiment includes a method including calculating by a network controller, a resource allocation proposal for a wireless network; transmitting by the network controller, a message including the calculated resource allocation proposal, to one or more other network controllers; and implementing the resource allocation proposal, if the network controller does not receive other resource allocation proposals for the wireless network from the one or more other network controllers, in response to the transmitted message.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Mika Kasslin, Jari Henrik Junell, Amitav Mukherjee

Patent number: 8451789Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed for independent wireless resource sharing on a fair basis to enable selecting the most suitable coexistence between wireless networks. Example embodiments of the invention include a hierarchical resource request process that enables reallocation of radio resources in a coexistence band. When new resources are requested by a network, a search is made for free resources in the coexistence band. If this does not succeed, a check is made for any allocated but unused resources in the coexistence band that have been advertised by neighboring networks. If there are insufficient advertised resources, then the allocation of resources in neighboring networks is analyzed and compared with the requesting network's need for network resources. There are two graduated stages to the analysis.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2010Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Jari Henrik Junell, Mika Kasslin, Juha Salokannel

Patent number: 8412247Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to provide coexistence values for wireless resource sharing on a fair basis between heterogeneous wireless networks to enable coexistence of secondary networks. An example embodiment of the invention includes a method, comprising the steps of: determining a coexistence value for a wireless network based on parameters associated with the wireless network, including at least one of a number of nodes in the wireless network, a current resource allocation utilization rate of the wireless network, coexistence assistance by the wireless network to assist in operation of other networks, and/or a priority of the wireless network, wherein the coexistence value characterizes eligibility of the wireless network to wireless spectrum resources available to secondary networks; and communicating the determined coexistence value of the wireless network to an associated network controller.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2010Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Jari Henrik Junell, Juha Salokannel
