  • Patent number: 9811161
    Abstract: A device for improving readability of content displayed to a viewer is provided. The device has a screen for displaying the content, a motion sensor for measuring a displacement, and an eye tracker for measuring a change in gaze of the viewer when gazing at the screen. The device is operative to adjust the displayed content so as to improve its readability in response to determining that the change in gaze and the displacement of the device are out-of-sync. The out-of-sync condition may be determined by deriving a phase difference between the measured change in gaze and the measure displacement of the device, and comparing the derived phase difference to a threshold value. The displayed content is adjusted by at least one of increasing a font size of displayed text, enlarging one or more displayed graphical objects, and increasing a zoom level of the displayed content.

    Abstract: A method performed by a network node is provided. The network node and a user equipment, UE, operate in a communications network. The network node configures (302) the UE to report information indicating whether the UE is located indoors or outdoors. After receiving (303) a message from the UE which message comprises the information indicating whether the UE is located indoors or outdoors, the network node decides (304) whether the UE is located indoors or outdoors based on the received indication. The deciding enables the network node to provide network support in the communications network based on whether the UE is located indoors or outdoors.

  • Patent number: 9642049
    Abstract: The invention relates to handover of a mobile station from a source cell to a target cell in a wireless communication network. According to the invention communication improving data in relation to communication between the source cell and the mobile station is collected by a communication improving node prior to handover and communication improving physical layer data being at least based on said collected communication improving data is transferred to a device handling communication between the target cell and the mobile station. The communication handling device then uses the communication improving physical layer data to improve the quality of the initial communication between the mobile station and the target cell after handover to the target cell.

  • Publication number: 20160269949
    Abstract: A method in a network node for determining a measure of a downlink interference in a wireless communications network. The downlink interference comprises a first interference in one or more first user equipments in a first cell served by a first base station. The respective interference originates from a second base station when the second base station communicates with one or more second user equipments in a second cell. The network node obtains a first metric representing a count of the second cell as the strongest interfering cell for the one or more first user equipments in the first cell based on a respective information from the one or more first user equipments. The respective information indicates a strongest interfering cell for the respective first user equipment. The network node determines a measure of the downlink interference, based on the first metric.

  • Patent number: 9351132
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards providing event-triggered communication in a half duplex communication environment of a wireless communication network (10). A first end terminal (12) sends a selection of an end terminal (14) in a group of terminals to act as an event notifying device to a server (22). The event notifying device (14) compares an event with a threshold and sends an event notifier to the server if the event exceeds the threshold. If it receives the event notifier, the server prioritises data from the event notifying device over ongoing communication sessions for other devices in the group, receives data from the event notifying device associated with the event notifier and transports data indicative of the event to other devices of the group, in order to inform them of the event.

  • Patent number: 9137692
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention relates to a method UE and UE for estimating a relative interference load in an LTE network. This is accomplished by comparing a load measure based on a RSRP-based geometry measure and UE-measured CINR. Constructing a measure by calculating the corresponding quotient provides an estimation of the relative load in the network, more specifically the load in neighboring cells.
