  • Publication number: 20080020763
    Abstract: A method for establishing a connection between user equipment (UE) and an associated network includes receiving at the UE a service announcement providing a description of an available broadcast service and at least one identifier which identifies the broadcast service, and receiving at the UE a setup message which establishes a point-to-point radio bearer between the UE and the network, such that the setup message includes the identifier which is used to identify that the radio bearer carriers the broadcast service.

  • Publication number: 20080020762
    Abstract: A method for establishing a connection between user equipment (UE) and an associated network includes receiving at the UE a notification indicating either a start of a broadcast service or an availability of the broadcast service, such that the notification comprises an identifier which identifies the broadcast service. The method further includes receiving at the UE a setup message which establishes a point-to-point radio bearer between the UE and the network, such that the setup message comprises the identifier which is used to identify that the radio bearer carriers the broadcast service.

  • Publication number: 20080011183
    Abstract: The present invention is of a cable way comprising a beam with a fixed support structure to which a circular or an arc-shaped track is attached. A track cart, to which one end of a carrying cable is connected, is movably assembled onto the track. The principles of the invention include that the ends of the carrying cables may move in any direction, provided the distance between the two cable end attachment points and thus the cable tension remains unchanged. By moving the track carts the gradient and position of the carrying cable can be altered individually and controlled in the horizontal as well as vertical direction in order to efficiently increase the use of space and reach of a cable way. In particular, loads, which move on the carrying cables by force of gravity, can be influenced in both direction and path of motion.

  • Publication number: 20070191019
    Abstract: A method for communicating between a network and a dual receiver UE includes receiving first signaling from a first network node at a first frequency, and receiving second signaling via a PtM control channel from a second network node at a second frequency. The method further includes receiving a request from the second network node at the second frequency, such that the request is carried on the PtM control channel, and transmitting to the first network node a response to the request from the second network node. An alternative method includes receiving communications from a first network node, and identifying that the first network node lacks uplink capabilities. This method may further include identifying that the first network node provides a MBMS service, and receiving the MBMS service from the first network node despite the identification of the lack of uplink capabilities.

  • Patent number: 7242244
    Abstract: An arrangement for testing a power output stage, with the power output stage includes at least one half bridge with an upper semiconductor switch and a lower semiconductor switch connected in series and to which an operating voltage is applied. A junction point between the semiconductor switches of the at least one half bridge forms an output. A control device performs a test to determine whether the voltage at the output is within a predetermined central tolerance band when the semiconductor switches are not switched on, a test to determine whether the voltage at the output is within a predetermined upper tolerance band when the upper semiconductor switch is switched on, and a test to determine whether the voltage at the output is within a predetermined lower tolerance band when the lower semiconductor switch is switched on. The power output stage is identified as being sound when all of the output voltages are within the respective tolerance bands.

  • Publication number: 20070047486
    Abstract: The present invention relates to communicating a message in a mobile communication system. Preferably, the present invention comprises requesting radio resources for transmitting at least one message, receiving a response to the request for radio resources, transmitting a first message for requesting a first layer connection to a first node, and transmitting a second message for requesting a second layer connection with a second node prior to establishing the first layer connection.

  • Publication number: 20070042794
    Abstract: A method of scheduling messages based upon whether there are any changes in the content of each message to be scheduled, and also considering certain information that may be needed by the terminal. Messages are scheduled such that the terminal (UE) would only need to perform minimal reading operations, thus resulting in more efficient reception of services by the terminal based upon improved scheduling performed by the network.

  • Publication number: 20060177652
    Abstract: A foamed pressure sensitive adhesive article is disclosed. The article includes a polymeric mixture containing a styrenic block copolymer and a polyarylene oxide polymer. Voids are formed in the polymeric mixture by expanding polymeric microspheres. The resulting foamed article contains numerous voids having substantially non-adhesive interiors that are compressible without collapsing. The invention is also directed to methods of making foamed pressure sensitive adhesive articles.

  • Publication number: 20060094478
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining when power saving functions are not beneficial to a mobile communication device and then limiting or inhibiting the use of power saving functions. Information received either from an external entity or information stored in the mobile communication device is utilized to determine if power saving functions are beneficial. The mobile communication device and or a network with which the mobile communication device communicates may alter their behavior in order to not perform unnecessary power saving functions.

  • Publication number: 20040137876
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of protecting the integrity of messages sent between a mobile terminal and a server radio access network controller in a mobile radio system, in which method a message sent is protected by a code calculated on sending and, in the event of a change of server radio access network controller from a source controller to a target controller, a message sent to the mobile terminal by the source controller, for forwarding to the mobile terminal information created in the target controller and then transferred by the target controller to the source controller, is protected by a code calculated in the target controller.
