Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method of detecting potential performance degradation caused by neighboring identical scrambling codes. The method includes detecting an existence of identical scrambling codes in received signals from different cell at the user equipment, and selectively eliminating one or more signals from consideration in processing of received signals based upon the detection. The invention also includes a receiver configured to detect potential performance degradation caused by neighboring identical scrambling codes. The receiver includes a detection component configured to detect an existence of identical scrambling codes in received signals from different base stations at the user equipment, and an elimination component configured to selectively eliminate one or more signals from consideration in processing of received signals based upon the detection by the detection component.

Abstract: A method for controlling a transmit power in a radio communications system includes receiving a request to increase a transmit power of an uplink channel and determining whether the transmit power was at a maximum upon receipt of a previous request to increase the transmit power preceding the received request. If the transmit power was not at the maximum upon receipt of the previous request, the transmit power is increased by a first step size and if the transmit power was at the maximum upon receipt of the previous request, the transmit power is increased by a second step size greater than the first step size.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for managing a radio resource control state of a user equipment. A triggering module may be configured to determine whether a number of triggering conditions are satisfied. Also, responsive to satisfying the number of triggering conditions, a sustain module may be configured to initiate a sustain message.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a base station of a mobile communication network is provided comprising a message generator configured to generate a message indicating that at least one mobile communication terminal should use a reception enhancement functionality and a transmitter configured to transmit the message to the at least one mobile communication terminal.

Abstract: In a method for transmitting a channel quality information on the quality of a communication channel in a radio communications system the system includes a regular cycle for transmitting the channel quality information in an uplink direction from a communication unit to a network, and the method including suppressing in the communication unit the transmitting of the channel quality information based on a predefined condition.

Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling the access operation by a plurality of data processing devices to a memory, each data processing device is assigned a respective address region which indicates the part of the addresses of the memory which the respective data processing device can access. A control device blocks an access operation by a data processing device to the memory if the access operation address is not located in the address region which is assigned to the respective data processing device.

Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling the access operation by a plurality of data processing devices to a memory, each data processing device (10, 11, 12) is assigned a respective address region which indicates the part of the addresses of the memory (13) which the respective data processing device can access. A control device (21) blocks an access operation by a data processing device to the memory (13) if the access operation address is not located in the address region which is assigned to the respective data processing device (10, 11, 12).
