Abstract: In summary, the present invention thus relates to a method of determining a level of a product in a tank, comprising generating and transmitting an electromagnetic transmit signal; guiding the transmit signal towards and into the product; returning an electromagnetic reflection signal resulting from reflection of the transmit signal; receiving, the reflection signal; determining, based on the reflection signal and a timing relation between the reflection signal and the transmit signal, an echo signal exhibiting an echo signal strength as a function of a propagation parameter indicative of position along the probe; and determining the level of the surface of the product based on a propagation parameter value indicative of a first threshold position along the probe for which the echo signal has reached a predetermined threshold signal strength, and an offset indicative of an offset distance along the probe from the first threshold position towards the second probe end.

Abstract: A Radio Network Controller, RNC, and a method performed by the RNC for managing the utilization of a RACH of a WCDMA communication network wherein the RNC is associated with an RBS, wherein the RACH is an uplink channel between UEs and the RBS are provided. The method comprises determining a current resource utilization level of the RACH; setting, based on the determined resource utilization, a value of at least one Radio Link Control, RLC, parameter that controls the disposition of a UE to transmit data on the RACH; and employing the at least one RLC parameter to at least one UE being in a Cell Forward Access Channel, CELL_FACH, state or entering into the CELL_FACH state.

Abstract: A method for determining a priority of a mobile subscriber in a cellular network. The method is performed in a radio network node and comprises the steps of: obtaining a temporary mobile subscriber identity, TMSI, associated with a priority affecting event; storing the TMSI associated with the event, as at least part of an indication of priority; receiving a connection request from a wireless terminal of the mobile subscriber, the connection request comprising a TMSI; and determining a priority of the wireless terminal based on whether the TMSI of the connection request matches a stored TMSI or not.

Abstract: Methods, network control nodes, network nodes and user equipments for assisting the updating of neighbor cell information when a new cell is introduced, or added, to an already existing radio access network are described in this disclosure. According to an example embodiment a signal is transmitted, from a first network control node 10 associated with RAN1 to a second network control node 20 associated with RAN2. This signal comprises a cell identity CI1, e.g. a Local Cell Identity LCI1, of the newly introduced cell C109, which is added to RAN1. Next, the second network control node 20 of RAN2 receives the signal comprising the cell identity CI1 of this newly introduced cell C109.

Abstract: The technology in this application determines the throughput over a data communication substantially as experienced by a user receiving the data. The determined throughput is substantially independent of the total amount of data transferred over the connection. This “active” throughput measure is divided into two parts to provide two performance measures: transfer throughput and latency. Latency corresponds to a time period needed to accomplish one or more functions associated with the data connection, like setting up and taking down the connection, during which payload type data to be transferred to an end user is not transferred. By identifying and removing the initial latency from the throughput determination for the data connection, the determined transfer throughput provides a more accurate measure of the throughput actually experienced by the end user.
