Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method executed in a network node comprised in a wireless communications network. According to the method, the network node obtains (120) information related to the form factor of a wireless device comprised in the wireless communications network. Based on the obtained information, the network node determines (1110) radio resources and/or appropriate physical layer parameters and/or configuration parameters for the wireless device. The determined radio resources and/or parameters are then used (1120) for a network operation.

Abstract: A method for testing radio properties of a module in a platform. The module has at least one element, and the platform has at least one element in which an element includes a receiver. The method includes importing an identification of a plurality of elements and an identification of elements having receivers which are capable of measuring and communicating radio parameters. For each identified receiver, the receiver is enabled and a radio parameter measurement is performed and stored in which other identified elements are disabled for a reference level measurement. For each other identified element different from the identified receiver, a further radio parameter measurement is taken and stored for which the other element different from the identified receiver is enabled for a disturbance level measurement of the given other enabled element with respect to the identified enabled receiver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for improving Time To First Fix, TTFF, sensitivity and accuracy, wherein a Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS, positioning device (15), communicates with a Core Service (11) in a User Equipment (16), U—the GNSS positioning device acquires (23) GNSS satellite signals and navigation data and based on said signals/data determines a position within TTFF,—the Core Service detects (24) user data indicating specific user behaviours and initiates said determination of position based on said user data. The present invention also relates to a Core Service, a Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS, positioning device, a Radio Module and a User Equipment, UE, adapted for the same purpose.

Abstract: A radar device (100) comprising transmit and receive parts, and a control unit (CU). The transmit part includes means (WG) for generating a signal within a certain band, and the receive part comprises a filter (AAF), an AD-converter (ADC) and a Fourier transform unit (FFT1). The transmit part generates a group of signals, each having a first bandwidth between a first and a second frequency, in such a way that a larger bandwidth (B1-B4) is covered by the group. The receive part is open over said larger bandwidth (B1-B4) during reception of each signal in said group, and the transmit part comprises means (PAD, FFT2) for creating FFT-copies of the received signals and means (CONJ) for creating conjugates of said copies. The receive and transmit parts comprise means (EXTR) for extracting data from the FFT from the first bandwidth covered by a received signal, and the radar device comprises means (DIFF) for correlating said extracted FFT-data.
