  • Publication number: 20130231104
    Abstract: A technique for managing measurements for at least two subscriptions in a mobile terminal is described. A method implementation of this technique performed in the mobile terminal comprises the steps of determining a common carrier set being an intersection between the first carrier set associated with a first subscription and the second carrier set associated with at least one second subscription, performing a first measurement on the first carrier set, and the second measurement on the second carrier set excluding the common carrier set, and mapping results associated with the first measurement of the first subscription relating to the common carrier set to the at least one second subscription.

  • Patent number: 8437775
    Abstract: Methods and arrangements in a first network node, a second radio network node and a mobile terminal for enabling estimation of a position of a mobile terminal are provided. The first network node receives a request for estimating the position of the mobile terminal. The first network node determines a first set of radio network nodes including the second radio network node and two additional radio network nodes. The first network node determines positioning signals for transmission from radio network nodes of the first set to the mobile terminal. The first network node instructs each of the radio network nodes of the first set to transmit the positioning signal, associated therewith, to the mobile terminal.

    Abstract: A steering damper varies damping based upon the input source: the steering device or the ground contact parts. The device comprises a housing fixed on an attaching part that couples the steering device and the ground contact parts. A main chamber is partitioned into a first and second damping chamber and flow is at least partially controlled by a main valve unit. The opening area of the main valve unit is determined by a relative motion between the attaching part and the steering device.

  • Patent number: 8385965
    Abstract: A method for generating a filtered signal quality value used in a power control system of a wireless communication apparatus. An estimated signal quality value of a received signal is generated. A filtered signal quality value is generated based on the estimated signal quality value. The filtered signal quality value is generated in dependence of at least one of registering a difference between a first and a second reference signal quality value, and a change in transmitted power of said received signal. A power control device comprising a signal quality estimator, a BLER estimator, a regulator, and an inner loop is configured to implement the method.

  • Patent number: 8315571
    Abstract: Wireless transmissions from a user of a spectral resource are sensed by operating receiver equipment within a user equipment to receive signals within a given bandwidth around a given carrier frequency. If the user equipment is not readily capable of analyzing the received signals to ascertain whether the signature pattern of the user is present in the received signals, then it works cooperatively with a remote unit to analyze the received signals to ascertain whether a signature pattern of the user is present in the received signals. Results of the analysis are reported to a main node. The remote unit can provide software to the user equipment and/or perform at least part of the analysis for the user equipment.

  • Publication number: 20120064909
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) in a mobile communications system is operated in a manner that alleviates or avoids an overload condition in the UE. This involves operating a receiver of the UE to receive one or more data blocks via a channel. In response to a user equipment overload condition being detected, a channel quality indicator (CQI) value is reported to a serving base station, wherein the reported CQI value represents a channel quality that is lower than an actual quality of the channel. The UE is then operated in a manner that is consistent with the reported CQI value. UE overload conditions include overheating, and an inability to process received data blocks at the rate at which they are being received.

  • Patent number: 8023600
    Abstract: A multi-branch OFDM receiver combines diversity signals received over different receiver branches using interference rejection combining. The receiver generates first channel estimates associated with a serving base station, second channel estimates associated with at least one non-serving base station, and a time offset between the serving base station and non-serving base station. The receiver computes a noise covariance matrix based on the second channel estimates and the time offset, and then combines the diversity signals received over different branches using the first channel estimates and the noise covariance matrix.

  • Publication number: 20110201334
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for changing the transmission/reception setup of a base station (BS) in a communication network to another transmission/reception setup (such as one using fewer transmit antennas and/or lower channel bandwidths) without affecting communication with user equipments involve “replacing” the existing BS with a “virtual” BS that has the other transmission/reception setup. Replacement can be performed by, for example, ramping down the power of the existing, or first, BS, which has a respective first cell identification (ID), and simultaneously ramping up the power of the virtual, or second, BS, which has a respective second cell ID.
