Abstract: A battery charge management method and device operable to perform that method. The battery charge management method comprises the steps of determining charge delivered to or from a battery based on Coulomb counting and updating an estimated battery state of charge based on the amount of delivered charge and measuring the battery current. Then comparing the updated estimated battery state of charge with a predetermined state of charge value of less than 100%, such that each predetermined state of charge value being associated with an expected battery current for that predetermined state of charge value. The method also includes modifying the updated estimated battery state of charge when the updated estimated state of charge is greater than the predetermined state of charge value and the measured battery current is greater than the expected battery current associated with the predetermined state of charge.

Abstract: A mobile communications network includes plural base stations in a network and configured to transmit to mobile communications devices a broadcast signal providing a sequence of data blocks in a sequence of transmission frames, each data block of the sequence being transmitted by each of the base stations contemporaneously for each of the sequence of transmission frames. One or more relay nodes are configured to receive the broadcast signal transmitted by one of the base stations and retransmit the broadcast signal, as the sequence of data blocks in the sequence of transmission frames on the same frequency as the broadcast signal transmitted by the base station, so that one or more of the mobile communications devices can receive the broadcast signal and recover the sequence of data blocks from one or both of the broadcast signal transmitted by the base station or the broadcast signal transmitted by the relay node.

Abstract: A mobile device may communicate through multiple access point names (APNs) through wireless local area network (WLAN) protocols. The APNs are data routes that may be accessible to a device through other non-WLAN networks (e.g. cellular), but can be accessed with a WLAN device through WLAN protocols. A sub network access protocol (SNAP) header may be modified and used for routing traffic.

Abstract: A communication system (200) comprises a system management function (246) for managing base-site resources and system throughput of data. The system management function (246) defines a number of resources. The system management function (236), such as a radio network controller, comprises a data throughput identification function to identify one or more bottleneck resources from a sub-set of system resources involved in the system's data throughput. A method of reducing power consumption (MIPS) in a system management function (236) and a radio network controller (236) are also provided. The identification of a bottleneck resource helps determine whether MIPS could be saved by not performing one or more QoS management algorithms, the benefit from which is reduced due to the bottleneck resource.

Abstract: A flexible component-based software system is developed by generating a UML model (3) in a specification phase (4). Components are generated in an implementation phase (4). The UML model (3) is transformed to a meta model. A runtime architecture service (RAS, 10) dynamically assembles a system in runtime according to the meta model. A modelling tool (15) modifies the meta model via an API (34) and a meta modeller (31). This allows dynamic re-configuration of the system.
