  • Method and a system of sharing resources
    Patent number: 7218937
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a system of sharing resources between operators in cellular mobile communication networks, wherein each operator comprises its own dedicated resource. The particularity of the present invention lies in that for a new connection, i.e. an incoming call and/or a handover, a serving operator (A) is enabled during operation to use another operator's (B) or other operators' (B, C, D, . . . ) resource(s), wherein said resource sharing is dynamical and seamless in a way that the new connection is not interrupted.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for dynamically configuring a cellular radio network topology based on content demand
    Patent number: 7103311
    Abstract: A broadband digital broadcast 1 network is described in which the cellular topology is dynamically configurable to maintain spectral efficiency. The reconfiguration of the topology occurs in response to changes in the demand for content. Thus, a single cell could be defined to cover an area in which the same content is being delivered to a substantial number of users. Conversely, a large number of cells could be defined to cover an area in which a substantial number of users are each having different content delivered to them.
