Patent number: 8433354Abstract: The present invention relates to reporting cell measurement results associated with a plurality of cells of a cellular communication system. The reporting is transmitted from a station via a radio interface to receiver element of a cell serving the station. The cells are arranged in a reporting order that is to be used by the station for the reporting. The cell measurements are performed by the transceiver station for getting cell measurement results associated with a number of the cells. Relevant cell measurement results are then selected and the selected results are transmitted in the defined reporting order.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Johanna Pekonen, Leif Friman, Harri Jokinen

Patent number: 8027317Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, system, network element and computer program product for transmitting a data stream in a point-to-multipoint mode from a source entity to a plurality of users in a predetermined area of a cellular network, said predetermined area comprising a plurality of sub-areas. A predetermined, recurring time period is allocated to transmission of localized data specified for users of individual ones of said plurality of sub-areas, and a transmission capacity of the data stream is divided using said predetermined, recurring time period among adjacent sub-areas. Localized data is then transmitted during the predetermined, recurring time period using a divided transmission capacity allocated to the respective sub-area. Thereby, combination of global and local broadcast or multicast content is enabled in a broadcast system by avoiding overlapping of transmissions with different content at cell edges.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2006Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Antti Toskala, Johanna Pekonen, Karri Rantaaho

Patent number: 7610020Abstract: A method of wireless communication with a first station arranged to transmit at least one transmission to be received by a plurality of second stations to provide a point to multipoint transmission. A first determining step determines in at least one of a plurality of second stations, if at least one transmission which is received at least one second station satisfies predetermined criterias. In response to information determined in said first determining step, a second determining step determines if a first station is to change a power level with which the first station transmits to the plurality of second stations in a point to multipoint transmission. A power changing step changes the power level with which said first station transmits power if the second determining step determines that the power level is to be changed.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Harri Jokinen, Johanna Pekonen

Patent number: 7532894Abstract: The present invention relates to provision of a location service. The location service is arranged to receive geographical location information associated with a user equipment of the communication system. In the method geographical location information associated with the user equipment is stored at a first location register of the communication system and processed in a predefined manner. A check is made whether geographical location information has or has not been transported from the first location register to a second location register. If the Information has not been transported, the processed geographical location information is transported from the first location register to the second location register.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2000Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Inventors: Ahti Muhonen, Jan Kall, Marjatta Vacker, Timo Rantalainen, Johanna Pekonen

Publication number: 20080031245Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, system, terminal device and network element for signaling uplink control data for a multicast transmission of a cellular network, wherein an identification of a serving multicast cell is added to an uplink message which is transmitted in a transparent manner over a serving unicast cell to the cellular network. Based on this added identification, the uplink message can be forwarded to a serving network element of the serving multicast cell. Thereby, uplink messages, such as counting responses, can be supported, even if a terminal devices has a separate multicast receiver in addition to the unicast transceiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2006Publication date: February 7, 2008Inventor: Johanna Pekonen
