Patents by Inventor Robert Nientiedt

Robert Nientiedt 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: 8626150
    Abstract: A method and arrangement for detecting a radio coverage in a synchronous multicellular mobile radio system having a multitude of synchronous base stations that are connected to an evaluating unit are provided. All base stations are operated in succession in a measuring operating mod. A respective field intensity of base stations that are locally adjacent and in a normal operating mode is measured, and the respectively measured field intensity data are evaluated by the evaluating unit. This enables a sufficient radio coverage to be determined in a highly cost-effective manner and, optionally, to be corrected.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8233906
    Abstract: A method for determination of a radio coverage and a method for positional determination of a mobile terminal in a multi-cellular mobile radio system in which the actual received field strength for several or all base stations is measured at a number of measuring points in differing locations. The measured values for the actual received field strengths are entered in a databank as actual local values. Interpolated values are calculated from the actual received field strengths for virtual measuring points lying between the measuring points and the base stations and entered in the databank. Substitute values for the received field strengths are calculated for geographical positions at which neither measured nor interpolated values for the received field strengths are available, the substitute values being calculated from the relevant transmitter power, the distance from the relevant base station to said geographical point and a propagation model and entered in the databank.
