Patents by Inventor Monica Casado-Fernandez

Monica Casado-Fernandez has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8155638
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for testing mobile communications in a High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) mobile communications network by generating one or more virtual users. Specifically, a high speed downlink shared channel is scheduled for a user (e.g., a real user or a virtual user) in a plurality of users. One or more network resources are then allocated by a virtual user executable module to the high speed downlink shared channel for a virtual user in the plurality of users.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 10, 2012
    Assignee: Alcatel Lucent

  • Publication number: 20090111481
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of wireless telecommunications in a wireless telecommunications network that provides a plurality of service types. The method includes accessing at least one first performance measurement associated with the wireless telecommunications network and determining at least one load associated with at least one of the plurality of service types based on the at least one performance measurement.

  • Patent number: 7400887
    Abstract: The per sector or per cell downlink capacity in a spread spectrum wireless network is determined using a single test mobile that is operating within a background of simulated co-channel interference being broadcast in each sector by all cell sites in the network whose capacity is of interest. From all sectors, an Orthogonal Channel Noise Simulator (OCNS) generates a multiple number of calibrated test signals, which are aggregated and broadcast downlink, where each transmitted test signal simulates the downlink power transmitted to a live mobile. Each component test signal in the aggregated OCNS output transmitted in each sector is a sample of a stochastic process with a set mean and standard deviation that are determined from the mean and standard deviation of the power of a real signal transmitted downlink to the test mobile as it is moved around the network's coverage area.
