  • Patent number: 9526045
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a radio resource controller (220a) for controlling radio resources of a serving radio access node (100a). The controller is configured to assign particular radio resources of the serving radio access node to a radio communication session established between the serving radio access node and a particular mobile station, and to push session information (UE_id; UE_ctx_ptr) of the radio communication session into a common data repository (320) accessible to a further radio resource controller (220b) controlling radio resources of a further radio access node (100b). The session information comprise a mobile identifier (UE_id) that may be used by the particular mobile station for resumption of the radio communication session, and further allow retrieval of contextual communication parameters (UE_ctx) used by the serving radio access node for radio communication with the particular mobile station during the radio communication session.

  • Patent number: 7201017
    Abstract: The refrigerating unit can be operated by means of a thermal solar system as energy source. Therein it is provided that the refrigerating unit is formed as a diffusion-absorption refrigerating unit. The refrigerating unit has an expeller, a triple heat exchanger, a condenser, an evaporator, a gas heat exchanger, an absorber, and a fuel reservoir which are actively connected to form a closed fuel circuit with one another.

  • Publication number: 20060087994
    Abstract: A method for providing an MBMS service in a wireless communications system comprising a mobile network communicating over a radio air interface (Al) with a plurality of UEs desiring to receive the MBMS service in a cell, the method comprising the steps of: using a point to multipoint on a common channel transmission mode with a preset amount of transmission power; detecting if there are UEs in the cell which receive low MBMS service quality with said point to multipoint on a common channel transmission with a preset amount of transmission power set to a value less than the amount of transmission power needed to cover the whole cell area; and using a point to point on dedicated channels transmission mode for such detected UEs receiving low MBMS service quality with said point to multipoint on a common channel transmission with a preset amount of transmission power.

  • Patent number: 6741854
    Abstract: A cordless telecommunications system (CTS) with a base station (CTS-FP) and with at least one mobile station (MS) initialised at the base station (CTS-FP), for carrying out a process for transmitting operating parameters from a control centre (Z) of a superimposed telecommunications network (PLMN; PSTN, ISDN), which transmits operating parameters initially to the base station (CTS-FP) or to one of the mobile stations (MS) of the cordless telecommunications system (CTS) and then relays the operating parameters to as far as possible all initialised mobile stations or to the base station (CTS-FP) as well as to as far as possible all other initialised mobile stations (MS) is proposed. Thus, new operating parameters can easily be distributed centrally to one or more limited cordless telecommunications systems and can be activated.

  • Publication number: 20030135864
    Abstract: The habits of users are to be determined in a service-on-demand system in order to analyze and optimize the menu control. A digital decoder (STB) is employed having a control device (P) which can be controlled by a received timing signal. The control device is adapted to capture input sequences from a user which include a plurality of commands together with the time when the individual commands were entered, and to store the input sequences in a write/read memory (MEMO). Alternatively, the timing signal can be used to determine the time interval between the individual commands. These time intervals are then stored instead of the actual input times. The stored packets, together with packets received from a plurality of digital decoders, can also be transmitted telemetrically to a server for processing.

  • Patent number: 6334216
    Abstract: A service-on-demand system (1) with a set-top box (2) which is connected to the service-on-demand system (1) and includes a smart-card interface (3) and a decoder (5) which can read and decode information stored on a smart card (4) inserted by a user into the interface (3), and with a controller which can permit or block access to the service-on-demand system (1) depending on the decoded information is characterized in that input means (6) are provided for enabling the user to enter a secret number, and that the decoder (5) of the set-top box (2) is granted access to the inserted smart card (4) for reading and decoding the information stored thereon only if a correct secret number was entered. Unauthorized access to the system can thus be prevented with a higher degree of certainty than in conventional systems. The sensitive data stored on the smart card are additionally protected against unauthorized readout by a password.

  • Patent number: 6311062
    Abstract: A method for establishing a telecommunications link utilizing bursts in a digital radio network having at least one other digital radio network superposed thereon. The bursts of the two digital radio networks have the same bit structure but differ in a specific bit training sequence, and this training sequence of a burst is checked during the establishment of the telecommunications link. By processing only bursts with the training sequences of the desired digital radio network, erroneously received other bursts are filtered out and discarded.

  • Patent number: 6126069
    Abstract: Anonymous use of and payment for, as well as collection of statistics, fee-based services, in particular Near-VOD services, employing a single chip card that can be used for all service providers. The chip card is used for paying for fee-based services of different service providers. Storage of usage-related data for collection of statistics and for payment for fee-based services as well as an authorization check is provided on the chip card. When an amount of money is loaded onto the chip card, these data are read and transmitted to a central office for the purpose of collecting statistics relating to the usage of individual services and crediting the individual service providers while, at the same time, guaranteeing anonymity of the individual customer-specific data.
