Abstract: A method for reporting terminal location in a vehicle communication includes: detecting a location relationship with other terminals by a terminal, to determine a target terminal related to a location of the terminal. Location correlation information between the terminal and the target terminal to a base station or network side equipment is reported, to enable the base station or the network side equipment to select a terminal that needs to report a location from the terminal and the target terminal according to the location correlation information. By utilizing embodiments of the present disclosure, when a terminal reports a location, it is unnecessary for all terminals to report locations, unnecessary location reporting messages are reduced, loads on a base station or a network side caused by the terminals reports the locations are decreased, and also uplink resources of the base station or the network side are saved.

Abstract: A bandwidth sharing method and device based on SDN control of terminal cell are disclosed. The bandwidth sharing method includes: determining, by a SDN controller, whether a trigger request for bandwidth sharing is received; upon receipt of the trigger request, selecting at least one second terminal cell for providing bandwidth sharing to the first terminal cell; controlling the first terminal cell and the at least one second terminal cell to jointly process the target service. The trigger request indicates a need of bandwidth sharing of a first terminal cell from other terminal cells when processing a target service on a backhaul link, and a bandwidth requirement of the target service equals to or exceeds a first predetermined threshold. The SDN controlled bandwidth-sharing scheme may ensure the application of a wireless backhaul sharing mechanism between T-SCs, thereby achieving flexible configuration of bandwidth resources on the backhaul link.

Abstract: An RRM measuring method of an LTE system in an unlicensed frequency band, a system, a terminal and a base station are provided. The method includes: receiving a downlink signal sent by each base station in at least one base station to determine a busy/idle status of an uplink channel and/or a downlink channel of each base station; calculating a value of RSRQ of each base station, when the uplink channel and/or the downlink channel of each base station is in a busy state or in an idle state; reporting the values of RSRQ to a service base station.

Abstract: A fastening mechanism configured in a carrier of a printer is provided. The carrier includes a body and several partitions. An ink cartridge is disposed between every two partitions. The fastening mechanism fastens the ink cartridge in the printer. The fastening mechanism includes a magnetic body, a coil, an elastic member, and a fastener. The magnetic body is disposed on the carrier. The coil generates a magnetic force with respect to the magnetic body when power currents flow through. The elastic member is disposed on one end of the magnetic body for storing resilient energy. When the coil is at a power-off state, the magnetic force of the coil disappears and the elastic member releases the resilient energy for enabling the fastener to be tightly coupled with the ink cartridge, so that the user is unable to unload the ink cartridge under power-off.

Final synthesis temperature was maintained at less than 950° C. Formation of the superconducting material is sensitive to the state of the precursor oxides, the carbon content of the precursor, and the synthesis temperature, pressure and time.
