  • Patent number: 8340692
    Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides apparatuses and methods for determining the location of a wireless user equipment (UE). Advantageously, the location may be determined by combining location estimates from a plurality of wireless network operators to increase accuracy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 25, 2012
    Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)
    Inventors: Ulf Skarby, Mans Persson
  • Patent number: 8208398
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement (202) for granting data rates to users in a radio network comprising a scheduler (207) arranged to grant data rates to users present within a cell of said radio network. The arrangement comprises a unit arranged to determine whether at least one new user in the cell originates from an adjacent cell, and an interference determination unit (209). The interference determination unit is arranged to provide a measure of a total interference level within the cell and to determine a relation between a set maximum interference value and the measured total interference level. The determination comprises adjusting the relation between the set maximum interference value and the measured total interference level if the origin determination unit has determined that the new user originates from an adjacent cell.

  • Patent number: 7692582
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus and a computer program for providing assistance data for satellite based positioning of mobile stations operating in a first cell of a cellular radio communication system utilizing ranging signals transmitted by satellites. A sequence of assistance data for positioning of a mobile station operating in the first cell is generated (306) by including in said sequence assistance data associated with individual satellites in a set of at least four satellites. At least one of said set of satellites and the order in which assistance data associated with individual satellites occurs in said sequence of assistance data is selected (305) utilizing control data associated with the first cell and reflecting local obstructions in the first cell or its immediate surroundings affecting reception of said ranging signals in the first cell.
