Abstract: In various embodiments. the present invention relates to a recyclable, semi-crystalline, mechanochromic elastomeric composition for use in sensor, strain-sensing and shape-memory applications having mechanochromism, SH, and SIC properties that are each strain rate-dependent. In various embodiments, the present invention is directed to a dipropiolate-derivatized spiropyran (SP) mechanophore and thiol-yne-derived stereoelastomers doped with these SP mechanophores. These SP doped, thiol-yne-derived stereoelastomers may be synthesized via a base-directed Michael addition polymerization reaction. These linear polymers have been found to be semi-crystalline, recyclable, and mechanochromic under several methods of mechanical activation.

Abstract: TDM circuitry that includes a rotary multiplexer and a memory circuit is provided. A first rotary multiplexer circuit may receive N-bit wide data in accordance to a time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme. The N-bit wide data includes multiple sets of M-bit wide data. The first rotary multiplexer may rotate these sets of the M-bit wide data. The memory circuit is coupled to the first rotary multiplexer circuit. The memory circuit stores each of rotated set of M-bit wide data. A second rotary multiplexer circuit may read k-th bits of the each of the stored M-bit wide data from the memory circuit and may rotate these k-th bits before outputting these k-th bits serially, where k is an integer having a value greater than 0.

Abstract: Mobile broadband traffic has been exploding in wireless networks (300) resulting in an increase of interferences and reduced operator control. Networks (300) are also becoming more heterogeneous putting additional demand in interference management. There is currently no support for signalling of neighbor cell interference gleaned from soft and softer handover powers. Thus, there are no algorithms that accounts for and/or estimates interference impact factors between neighboring cells based on neighbor cell interference estimates gleaned from soft and softer handover power. To address these and other issues, techniques to accurately predict/estimate neighbor cell interferences that accurately accounts for own cell powers, soft handovers, softer handovers, neighbor cell interferences, and remaining neighbor cell interferences are presented. The described techniques estimate coupling effects of scheduling decisions in one cell to surrounding cells. In this way, interferences in the network (300) can be managed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement in a first communication node for adjusting a channel quality report transmitted between the first communication node and a second communication node. The first communication node and the second communication node are comprised in a wireless communication network, and are adapted to communicate with each other via a radio link. In a first step, a channel quality report is received from the second communication node. The channel quality report is established by the second communication node. Then at least one channel characteristic parameter is obtained. The next step is to determine a channel quality offset based on the obtained channel characteristic parameter. Based on the channel quality offset, the channel quality report is adjusted.

Otherwise selecting the SIR target value as input parameter in the uplink load prediction algorithm for the user equipment.

Abstract: In an improved and reliable method and arrangement allowing a user equipment to acknowledge the re-pointing over target cell in the HS-DSCH serving cell change procedure, wherein a Media Access Control (MAC) frame include information indicates the acknowledgement. In one embodiment the MAC frame contains only the Scheduling Information (SI) field with a coding not normally used, e.g. TEBS=O and HLID=0 (TEBS=Total E-DCH Buffer Status; HLID=Highest Priority Logical Channel ID). Since the MAC frame is protected by Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ), high reliability is ensured. Also, the MAC frame is transmitted to all cells in the active set, so that robustness is ensured also during imbalance situations.
