Abstract: The present invention encompasses an arrangement (1) related to a suspension hook with a discrete anchorage portion fixable via fixing means (3,(3)), to a vertically orientable support (2) and a discrete hook portion (5) coordinated with the anchorage portion. Said anchorage portion (4) displays an elongate surface section (4a) with barbs (6), while said hook portion (5) displays a short surface section (5a) with corresponding barbs (7,8) in order, in a position with the barbs cooperating, to cause the retention of said hook portion (5) against the anchorage portion (4) in one set position selectable from among a plurality of such positions. A vertically directed loading (‘F’) acting on the hook portion (5) is adapted to be absorbed by a cooperation between said barbs (8) allocated to the hook portion and barbs (6) allocated to the anchorage portion.

Abstract: First and second groups of mobile terminal communications in a cell are defined. A basic frequency hopping sequence for both groups is identified. An offset from the basic hopping sequence is determined for each mobile terminal communication in the first and second groups and is used along with the basic frequency hopping sequence to generate an assigned frequency hopping sequence for each mobile terminal. Some of the assigned frequency hopping sequences overlap such that a first communication from the first group and a second communication from the second group simultaneously use the same time-frequency radio resource during one hop in their corresponding assigned frequency hopping sequences.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handover or cell change procedure in a cellular radio communications system comprising a mobile user terminal present in a serving cell and having multiple radio resources simultaneously allocated for communication with a base station of the cell. In this procedure, when there is a need for a cell change, the multiple radio resources are sequentially replaced with radio resources allocated to the terminal for communication with at least one base station having an associated cell different from the serving cell. This cell change procedure provides macro diversity without requiring the complexity of soft handovers and has enhanced service coverage and handover robustness compared to hard handover.

Abstract: The invention involves selection of modulation scheme for a mobile unit (100) having access to a link quality enhancing algorithm (130) operable only on data modulated using a subset of the available modulation schemes. The mobile unit (100) performs signal quality measurements on a communications link (410), over which data modulated with a first modulation scheme is communicated. A link quality measure is then determined for this first modulation. A quality enhancement due to operation of the algorithm (130) is also determined. This quality measure and the quality enhancement are used for generating decision information, which is reported to the network (200). There the information is used for estimating link quality measure(s) of currently non-employed modulation(s) for the mobile unit (100). The selection of a modulation scheme for the communications link is then performed based on the decision information and the estimated quality measure(s).

Abstract: The invention refers to a method and an arrangement for signal processing for a target detecting device (1) where a return signal (8) is divided into two parallel branches where a first compression filter (15) compresses the signal in the first branch and where a second compression filter (17) compresses the signal in the second branch. The second compression filter (17) compresses the return signal (8) to a higher degree than the first compression filter (15). A delay filter (19) delays the first compressed signal (16a) compensating for a delay ?T. Detectors (21, 22) processes the compressed signals (16b, 18) giving rise to detector signals (21, 23). The detector signals are compared and the minimum value of the compared detector signals (21, 23) is selected for all time frames, giving rise to a first output signal (25) comprising the minimum values from the first and second detector signals (21, 23).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the content in bursts to be transmitted from a base station in a mobile network on a broadcast frequency in specific timeslots of a broadcast frequency frame structure. A current state of the logical channel allocated to the forthcoming burst is checked, and the content in the forthcoming burst is determined depending on the current channel state. A dummy burst with a base station specific training sequence is transmitted if there is no data to transmit, and if the dummy burst cannot be confused with a regular traffic burst according to the current channel state. The dummy burst contains no intelligible information to mobile terminals.

Abstract: Control signalling for systems employing link adaptation and incremental redundancy is described. A link adaptation/incremental redundancy message can be transmitted from a receiving entity to a transmitting entity to inform the transmitting entity of the receiving entity's incremental redundancy status or preference. Another message, which indicates whether resegmentation should be performed for retransmitted blocks can also be transmitted from a receiving entity to a transmitting entity. Both of these messages can be used by the transmitting entity to determine an appropriate modulation/coding scheme for subsequent transmissions of both original data blocks and retransmitted data blocks. The messages can be used together or independently in either link (uplink or downlink) between a base station and a mobile station in a radiocommunication system.

Abstract: A wireless communications system, transmitter, receiver and method are provided that are capable of supporting incremental redundancy error handling schemes using available gross rate channels. More specifically, the transmitter includes a coding circuit for coding a digital data block and generating a mother code word, and a reordering circuit for reordering the mother code word and generating a reordered mother code word. The transmitter also includes a modulating circuit for modulating at least one subsequence each of which has a desired number of bits taken from the reordered mother code word to fill the available bandwidth of at least one available gross rate channel. The transmitter continues to forward the modulated subsequences to the receiver until the receiver successfully decodes the digital data block.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for recursive filtering of time discrete measurement data relating to a measurable time-varying attribute to generate an estimated magnitude for the attribute at a particular time instant. Each measurement has an associated reliability indicator representing a relative reliability of the measurement. Using the individual reliability indicators and a time-weighted filtered reliability indicator for a prior time instant, a filtered reliability indicator for the current time instant is generated. The filtered reliability indicator for the current time instant is then used to reliability-weight a weighted average of the plurality of measurements and to reliability-weight a time-weighted estimated magnitude for the prior time instant. The weighted values are then used to generate an estimated magnitude of the time-varying attribute for the current time instant.
