  • Patent number: 9008596
    Abstract: For regulating a transmission power in a transmission channel of a transmission from a transmitting station in a transmission system, a transmit power command is received from a transmission receiving station, the transmission power in the transmission channel is changed on a basis of the received transmit power command, and an amount of the change in the transmission power at the transmitting station is determined by determining a ratio between a current transmission power and an average over time of the transmission power, such that the amount of the change is dependent on a value of the ratio, with the amount of change increasing as the value of the ratio increases.

  • Patent number: 8369856
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal device for a mobile telecommunication system. The device includes electronics for receiving a telephone call, electronics for receiving packet-oriented radio signals, and electronics for selecting at least one transmission service which is transmitted using the packet-oriented radio signals. The mobile terminal device is adapted to receive a signal regarding a time slot from the network of the mobile telecommunication system, the time slot being determined in accordance with the selected transmission service. During the at least one time slot the reception of the packet-oriented radio signal is suspended in order to receive a radio paging signal which signals a telephone call addressed to the mobile transmission device so that the mobile terminal device remains accessible to telephone calls during reception of the packet-oriented radio signals.

  • Patent number: 8078213
    Abstract: A slave station and a method of regulating the transmission power a master station are described, which permit an estimate of the signal/interference ratio in a transmission system without sending a pilot sequence, the transmission power being regulated as a function of an estimate of the signal/interference ratio. In a transmission system, in particular a CDMA transmission system, useful signals assigned to different communicating subscribers are separated by orthogonal codes. A useful signal assigned to one communicating subscriber is derived by using one of the codes from a signal received at least in the slave station from the master station and is compared as a reference signal with the received signal to estimate the signal/interference ratio.

  • Patent number: 7991438
    Abstract: A mobile telecommunications terminal is provided, which makes possible, so as to use the least possible amount of power, a query of messages present for the mobile telecommunications terminal in a telecommunications network. The mobile telecommunications terminal includes a receiving device for receiving messages from the telecommunications network in a receive mode. At the mobile telecommunications terminal, a query mode can be established, in which a control unit, in the event that the receive mode is switched off, activates the receive mode at at least one first predetermined time. The control unit checks whether, within a second predetermined time period after the activation of the receive mode, information was received in the receiving device regarding at least one message present in the telecommunications network (10) for the mobile telecommunications terminal.

  • Patent number: 7904098
    Abstract: A method of assigning transmission channels in a telecommunications network and a user station are provided, which facilitate an increase in the capacity of a telecommunications network. The telecommunications network may include multiple base stations and mobile stations, the transmission channels being provided for transmitting signals between the base stations and the mobile stations. In uncoordinated operation of the base stations, at least one of the transmission channels is assigned for transmitting signals between one of the base stations and one of the mobile stations as a function of a channel measurement, in which the transmission power on all possible transmission channels is measured, if the previously measured transmission power on this transmission channel is minimal.
