Abstract: The invention discloses an arrangement (100) in a base station in a cellular mobile telephony system, comprising a first plurality (120-160) of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB:s) and a second plurality of switches (110,190). Each of the PCB:s (120-160) in said first plurality is connected to each of the switches (110,190) in said second plurality. Each of the switches (110,190) is equipped with means for communicating with and polling each of the PCB:s (120-160) at predetermined intervals, said polling being with regard to the status of the PCB. The switches are equipped with means for distributing status information to the individual PCB:s as an outcome of said polling, and the PCB:s are equipped with means for communicating with each other via one, several, or all of the switches, and said communicating means in the PCB:s are arranged to choose routes of communication based on said status information received from the switches.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for controlling dataflow on a databus, especially for avoiding reception problems by a receiver unit. The databus connects at least one receiver unit to one or several transmitter units. The method comprises the steps of transmitting by the receiver unit on the databus a control data sequence to be received by the transmitting units, which alter transmission mode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for phase locking of a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) to a selected frequency harmonic among a number of predetermined or available frequencies (harmonics), comprising a reference generator for generating a reference frequency, a phase lock loop (1; 101; 10; 4, 5, 6, 9) for producing an output signal in response to the input reference frequency, said phase lock loop comprising (enclosing) a phase defector (1), a loop filter (10), said VCO (5), adding means (4) and a power splitter (6). The arrangement also includes a sweep generator (9). It further comprises or is associated with storing means 82) for scoring information about, for each selectable or available frequency harmonic, a first (coarse) control voltage providing a VCO frequency output which is lower/higher than, and differs from the selected frequency (harmonic) by a given value (?f1).
