  • Patent number: 8023993
    Abstract: Mobile terminals (2) for transmitting first signaling signals (11) according to first wireless technologies to first networks (3) and for transmitting second signaling signals (12) according to second wireless technologies to second networks (4), which first signaling signals (11) comprise first information for informing the first networks (3), which second signaling signals (12) comprise second information for informing the second networks (4), and which first and second wireless technologies are different from each other, get a better efficiency by letting the first signaling signals (11) comprise the first information and the second information. This way, the power consumption of the mobile terminals (2) is reduced and the signaling efficiency is increased. The first/second information comprises first/second location information and/or comprises first/second paging-response information.

  • Patent number: 7486661
    Abstract: A method for optimizing the use of network resources for the transmission of data signals, such as voice frames, between network units over an IP-packet supporting network. The data frames are obtained using codecs, which may have a different mouth-to-ear transmission delay, from data samples, e.g. voice samples, that are formatted and to which a data frame header is added. The method includes attributing codec categories to each of the data or voice frames according to the codecs by means of which the data samples are generated, each codec category corresponding to a different mouth-to-ear delay budget range for the data frames; sorting the data frames according to their codec categories; generating multiplexed cells from data frames of a same codec category, each multiplexed cell being obtained by multiplex aggregation of a predetermined number of voice samples; and transporting the multiplexed cells from an ingress router to an egress router in the IP-network.

  • Patent number: 7324446
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication method, and related buffering and line termination elements to be used in a communication network. The communication network includes a buffering element, a line termination element and several network termination elements. The buffering element is coupled to the line termination element, and the line termination element is coupled to each of the network termination elements over a shared medium. The buffering element and the line termination element interact in such a way that the line termination element adjusts a cell input/output rate of the buffering element to bandwidth related conditions of the network termination elements, or vice versa.

  • Publication number: 20030091033
    Abstract: A method for optimizing the use of network resources for the transmission of data frames, preferably voice frames, between network units (3,4) in an Internet protocol IP-supporting network (1). The data frames are obtained by means of codecs (5A, 5B) from data samples, e.g. voice samples, that are formatted and to which a data frame header is added, and the codecs have different mouth-to-ear transmission delay budgets.

  • Publication number: 20020024933
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication method, related buffering element and line termination element to be used in a communication network. The communication network consists of a buffering element a line termination element and a plurality of network termination elements. The buffering element is coupled to the line termination element, and the line termination element in its turn is coupled to each of the network termination elements over a shared medium. The buffering element and the line termination element interact in such a way that the line termination element adjusts a cell input/output rate of the buffering element to bandwidth related conditions of the network termination elements, or vice versa.

  • Patent number: 6002680
    Abstract: The main station (MS) and possibly also the terminal stations (T1, T2, T3) of a telecommunication network is/are provided with memories wherein historical information (TT1, TT2, TT3, TT4, CT1, CT2, CT3), i.e. information with respect to log-in attempts of terminal stations (T1, T2, T3) in the past, is stored. This historical information is frequently updated and is used during a polled log-in method wherein terminals (T1, T2, T3) are polled either individually or in groups, executed for instance after a network crash or power-down, to limit the number of terminals that has to be polled by the main station (MS) so as to speed up the polled log-in procedure. The performance of the log-in of each single terminal further increases significantly if this terminal is located at a substantially fixed location in the network and if power- and delay information for transmitting upstream identification messages during log-in are also contained by the historical information.
