  • Patent number: 8787843
    Abstract: A mobile apparatus transmits a message for waking up an apparatus of a communications network in order to achieve access to the communications network. An apparatus of the communications network receives the message, determines whether the apparatus is in a standby mode in which the transmitter is deactivated, and shifts to a wake up mode, in which the transmitter is kept deactivated, for at most an apparatus-specific offset time in response to receipt of the message in case the apparatus is in the standby mode.

  • Patent number: 8755299
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus, method, system and computer program product directed to a self-organizing network related power capacity status reporting. A threshold value is set and provided for distribution to communication terminals, wherein the threshold value is related to a relative value concerning the availability of remaining power at a communication terminal. Provision of the threshold to the communication terminals is commanded, and a power report from the communication terminals is also commanded, if the relative value concerning the availability of remaining power at a communication terminal is above the threshold value. Eventually, a measurement report of those communication terminals is commanded, which have reported a relative value concerning the availability of remaining power above the threshold value, wherein this commanding includes an instruction to conduct and report measurements related to the self organization of a communication network in which a communication terminal is connected.

  • Patent number: 8588089
    Abstract: A mechanism for controlling resources and/or settings of an access network element like a base station is provided which allows an autonomous reconfiguration of, for example, the antenna configuration based on a set of performance indicators in a base station. The base station can reconfigure itself without the need of operator control so that during periods with low capacity demands the base station will reconfigure correspondingly, which may include a reduction of active cells by turning off the power for a part of the installed equipment.

  • Patent number: 8433356
    Abstract: A method transmits data packets in a radio system between an emitter and a receiver. A nominal energy is defined for each data packet and each transmission according to a quality requirement for the reception by the receiver. An emission power required for each data packet is determined according to the quality requirement for the reception of the data packet. The transmission data packet is formed from a plurality of data packets. A first transmission emission power is defined for a first transmission of the transmission data packet according to the determined emission powers for the individual data packet. The first transmission of the transmission data packet is carried out with the first transmission emission power. A retransmission emission power is calculated according to a nominal transmission power derived from the nominal energy, for the transmission data packet and the emission power for at least one previous transmission of the transmission data packet.
