Patent number: 10044414Abstract: Systems and techniques for managing helper cells in coordinated multipoint processing. Bandwidth assistance is requested from one or more cells operating in a network. In response to demand price and headroom information provided by a plurality of cells receiving the request, a set of potential helper cells is rank ordered and identified one or more helpers is identified from the ordered set and a candidate helper set is assembled based on bandwidth performance assistance criteria. A new request for bandwidth assistance is made. In response to new demand price and headroom information obtained from the candidate helper set, a determination is made whether sufficient iterations have been performed. If sufficient iterations have not been performed, the process is repeated, and if sufficient iterations have been performed, a requesting cell proceeds to operate while receiving bandwidth assistance from the assembled set.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2015Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Shirish Nagaraj, Michael Honig, Khalid Zeineddine

Patent number: 9078224Abstract: The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) for a power control (e.g., at least for DL power control) in a cell using a concept of a relative load in a network such as a wireless network. The relative load may be a ratio of cell's own load relative to an average load in a cluster of neighboring cells for scaling a nominal power value (or a function of the power value). The load can be measured, for example, either as a number of UEs in the cell, a RB utilization in the cell, a DL information traffic in the cell, or any other metric that's representative of the load in the cell. The resulting computed power for a DL signaling can be either on a per cell basis or on a per UE basis.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2013Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Chandrasekar Sankaran, Philip Fleming, Eugene Visotsky, Michael Honig

Patent number: 8903369Abstract: Systems and techniques for managing interference between pico cells in a pico cluster. Pico eNodeBs are configured in groups for each of a plurality of UEs, based on factors such as signal to noise ratio and geographic location. All signals from UEs may be measured by all eNodeBs in the cluster, but a pico group decodes packets only of UEs associated with the pico group. Decoded packets are exchanged between pico groups, and when a pico group is unable to decode packets of an associated UE, is uses the decoded packets received in exchanges to reconstruct an interference signal. The interference signal is subtracted from the received signal and the resulting received signal is used to decode the packets of the UE.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2012Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Nokia Siemens Networks OyInventors: Phil Fleming, Shirish Nagaraj, Raghavendra M.

Patent number: 6986414Abstract: A hydraulic dashpot with a cylinder (1), a piston (4), and a bypass. The cylinder is charged with fluid. The piston partitions the cylinder into two compartments (7 & 8), travels back and forth therein on the end of a piston rod (2), and is provided with breaches and valves. The open cross-section of the bypass can be expanded and contracted and fixed in accordance with the direction the piston is traveling in, depending on whether the dashpot is in the compression or in the suction phase. The bypass is provided with an axially displaceable control component. One end of the control component comes to rest against a valve, its displacement being limited by stops. The bypass is accommodated in an axial bore through the piston rod. The bypass operates in conjunction with various outlets that open into the compartments. The control component is provided with at least one lateral flange and travels back and forth in at least one tube. The object is a smooth performance curve and low wear.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2004Date of Patent: January 17, 2006Assignee: ThyssenKrupp Bilstein GmbHInventors: Michael Hönig, Günter Poetsch, Hendrik Kloss, Stefan Mages

Patent number: 6959906Abstract: A blow-off valve for a hydraulic dashpot comprising a fluid charged cylinder (1) and a piston (3) that travels back and forth therein on the end of a piston rod. The piston partitions the cylinder into two compartments (6 & 7) and is provided with breaches (4) and shock-absorbing valves. The piston rod (2) or an extension (8) thereof is hollow and accommodates operating components (13). The object is a valve that can be accommodated along with the hydraulic lines that serve it outside the piston rod or an extension thereof. The outer surface of the piston rod is accordingly provided with at least one axial inwardly undulating groove (14) at least as long as the piston, including its fastenings and operating components, is high. Alternatively, the bore that extends through the piston rod or its extension and its fastenings and operating components is provided with a similar radially outward groove that can be closed off at the compression end by a spring-loaded valve.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2004Date of Patent: November 1, 2005Assignee: ThyssenKrupp Bilstein GmbHInventors: Michael Hönig, Günter Poetsch, Hendrik Kloss, Stefan Mages

Patent number: 6789652Abstract: A resilient leg as part of an attachment for the wheel of a motor vehicle. The leg is provided with a piston rod (4) that has a piston (5) attached to it, that travels into and out of a housing (1), that is attached at its outer end to the vehicle's chassis, and that is maintained in radial alignment by two separated bearings. The piston divides the interior of the housing into two fluid-charged chambers (9 & 10). The object is to ensure satisfactory transmission of moments of force from the piston rod to the housing in a leg that is light in weight. The piston rod accordingly extends through, and is maintained in radial alignment at, both ends of the leg.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2003Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: ThyssenKrupp Bilstein GmbHInventors: Michael Hönig, Walter Wirtz, Marcello Di Fina, Klaus Hofmann, Günter Poetsch

Patent number: 6671849Abstract: A communication system employs a HARQ-type retransmission scheme. Bits (701) received on a first transmission are stored and combined with the bits received on later transmissions thereby increasing the likelihood of a correct decoding on later transmissions. Similarly the bits received on the second or later transmissions are stored for combining with subsequent received bits. Specific information needed at the receiver is identified and requested from the transmitter. More particularly, information that is retransmitted in a second or later transmission in the HARQ scheme is determined from a reliability of individual constituent bits in the mother codeword or from an overall reliability of the received codeword. Based on these reliability metrics, the most unreliable set of the constituent bits are requested or, in the alternative, a specific number of constituent bits is requested.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2002Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Vinayak Tripathi, Roger Peterson, Eugene Visotsky, Michael Honig

Patent number: 6662914Abstract: A hydraulic dashpot with a cylinder (1) full of shock-absorbing fluid, with a piston (3) mounted on the end of piston rod (2), traveling back and forth inside the cylinder, separating the cylinder into two compartments (4 & 5), and provided with ports and shock-absorption valves, and with a variable bypass system accommodated in an axial bore (13) in the piston rod provided with lateral radial openings (11 & 26) extending through the rod. The object is to allow fixed independent establishment of the cross-section of the bypass system available for the fluid to flow through as the piston rod travels in the direction associated with the suction phase and of the cross-section of the bypass system available for the fluid to flow through as the piston rod travels in the direction associated with the compression phase.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2002Date of Patent: December 16, 2003Assignee: Krupp Bilstein GmbHInventors: Michael Hönig, Walter Wirtz, Marcello Di Fina
