| 20110002426 | Rake Receiver - There is provided a rake receiver for a femtocell base station, the rake receiver being for use in receiving a multipath signal, the rake receiver comprising a plurality of fingers, and wherein the rake receiver is adapted to assign multiple fingers to the same path in the multipath signal. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100311449 | Method and Device in a Communication Network - There is provided a method of operating a base station, the method comprising determining whether there are any mobile devices that are not associated with the base station that require protection from interference caused by downlink transmissions of the base station; and setting a maximum permitted transmission power for the base station based on the result of the step of determining. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100311412 | Method and Device in a Communication Network - There is provided a method of method of estimating a quality of a signal, the method in a first device comprising measuring a signal transmitted from a second device to a third device; determining a value of a metric from an autocorrelation function of the measured signal; and determining an estimate of the quality of the signal from the determined metric. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100285795 | Methods and Devices for Reducing Interference in an Uplink - There is provided a method of operating a communication system, the communication system comprising at least a macrocell base station and a femtocell base station that is within the coverage area of the macrocell base station, the method comprising providing an indication of the noise rise or interference at the macrocell base station to the femtocell base station; and the femtocell base station adjusting a maximum permitted transmission power based on the indication. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20090150420 | GENERATING DEBUG INFORMATION - There is provided a method of generating information for a software system for use in a debug information database, the software system being defined in a low-level program code, the method comprising constructing a representation of the software system from the low-level program code; examining the representation to identify predetermined patterns; and generating a database of debug information for the software system from the results of the step of examining. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090149211 | POWER CONTROL - There is provided a femtocell device for use in connecting a mobile terminal to a communication network, the femtocell device comprising means for implementing a power control procedure in which a target value for a first characteristic of transmissions received from the mobile terminal is set and adjusted based on a quality of service criteria for the transmissions; and wherein the means for implementing the power control procedure operates in a physical layer of the femtocell device. | 06-11-2009 |
