| 20120102047 | Rating and Novelty Decay - Application servers and methods of operating the same are provided for generating a personalized recommendation of items to a first user. An updated rating value N(t) of an initial rating value N(0) is determined for each rated item based on an age of each rating. The updated rating value N(t) is based on a difference between the value of the initial rating N(0) and a neutral rating value R, and on a predetermined half-life of the ratings. The updated rating value N(t) converges towards the neutral rating value R with an increase in the age t for each rating. | 04-26-2012 |

| 20130046761 | Method and Apparatus for Social Tagging of Media Files - Media tagging is significantly improved by fusing subjective, user-specific tags with collaborative, community based tags. Users share multimedia metadata tags in a network of users, to improve automatic tag generation for personal multimedia collections without compromising media privacy. In one method, a combined set of annotation tags is suggested to a user, for use in annotating a given media file. The combined set includes a first set drawn from a private, user-specific repository, and a second set drawn from a public, shared repository. In each case, determining which tags are suggested involves computing similarities between an attribute vector associated with the media file being tagged and attribute vectors associated with the tags. An attribute vector is a set of values representing given types of contextual metadata. The similarity determinations may be weighted according to user-specific and shared weights, and these weightings can be adapted to reflect user and community preferences. | 02-21-2013 |

| 20090168696 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR ESTABLISHING A COMMUNICATION SESSION FOR MULTIMEDIA - A method and arrangement for establishing a packet-switched multimedia session for a mobile terminal (A) in communication with another party (B), wherein a primary PDP (Packet Data Protocol) context has been activated in a mobile network for the mobile terminal. Information on the forthcoming session is received which has been negotiated and agreed between the communicating parties. It is then determined whether any network resources providing a required QoS are needed for the session, and whether a secondary PDP context is to be activated for the mobile terminal and the forthcoming session. If network resources are needed and a secondary PDP context is to be activated, the activation of said secondary PDP context is triggered. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100091671 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR CONTROLLING SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS IN A MOBILE NETWORK - A method and an arrangement in a service assurance module for controlling service level agreements for communication services in a mobile services access network. A network performance rule is created for a service level agreement, and is based on an associated performance indicator indicating the current network performance with respect to the fulfillment of the service level agreement. The performance indicator is then monitored, and the network performance rule is evaluated on a regular basis based on the performance indicator. If the network performance rule is not satisfied, an agreement violation is registered and/or measures are' taken to improve the network performance. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20130031259 | Method of Discovering Operator-Provided Network Services Using IMS - A method, session managing node and arrangement for providing a network service address of at least one network service of a first operator IMS network to a third party service provider (3PSP) are disclosed, wherein the 3PSP has no business agreement with the first operator. A first application of a mobile station communicates with a second application via a first network, resulting in the setup of an IMS session between the mobile station and the 3PSP. A network service address of at least one network service, provided by the first operator IMS network, is inserted into a SIP message of the IMS session in a session managing node of the first operator IMS network and delivered to the 3PSP, where it is forwarded to the second application. If required, the second application may access the one or more network services via the first network, using the retrieved network address. | 01-31-2013 |

| 20100074349 | METHOD AND BASE STATION FOR ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING (OFDM) SIGNAL PROCESSING - A method and base station for forming an OFDM signal from a baseband signal includes a partitioning unit configured to partition a block of baseband signal samples into sub-blocks. A sub-carrier mapper maps the sub-blocks onto adjacent sub-carrier blocks of an OFDM multi-carrier to form corresponding unprefixed OFDM symbols. A cyclic prefix adder adds a cyclic prefix to each mapped sub-block to form prefixed OFDM symbols. Phase compensations force the unprefixed OFDM symbol part of all subsequently up-converted prefixed OFDM symbols to start at the same phase. Up-converters up-convert the phase compensated prefixed OFDM symbols to respective radio frequency bands having center frequencies and bandwidths that preserve the OFDM multi-carrier structure. A combiner combines the up-converted phase compensated prefixed OFDM symbols into an OFDM signal. | 03-25-2010 |
