  • Publication number: 20240147382
    Abstract: Radio unit output power management technologies are disclosed. An example method for managing output power of radio units serving a private communications network includes obtaining network status including output power status of the radio units and spectrum information indicating frequency bands utilized by the one or more radio units, performance requirements of the private communications network, and constraints applicable to output power of the radio units in accordance with the spectrum information. The method also includes determining a dynamically-optimized output power strategy for the one or more radio units to satisfy the performance requirements based on the output power status and spectrum information, subject to the constraints, and implementing particularized radio unit output power control based on the output power strategy.

  • Patent number: 10669042
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that includes a light and a cooling system is described. The light fitted to the UAV may be bright since heat it generates will be cooled by thermal conduction, convection and/or heat absorption. The light may be cooled by the airflow generated by the propellers. The cooling system of the lighted UAV may include radiator that may conduct heat to the environment and/or include an internal liquid cooling system. The cooling system may include dedicated fans to cool the lights.

  • Patent number: 9641694
    Abstract: A method for initiating a call in a communications system comprising a mobile communications device connected in a mobile communications network. The mobile communications device is allocated a mobile identifier for a first, mobile communications service provided by a mobile communications service provider and is allocated a second identifier for a second communications service provided by a second communications service provider that is different from the first, mobile communications service. The method comprises receiving over a data connection, at a switch, a request from the mobile communications device, comprising the second identifier, to initiate a call using the second communications service and adding, at the switch, the mobile identifier to the request and forwarding via a further network, the request comprising both the second identifier and the mobile identifier.
