20100323706 | Method for base stations for overall cell signal decoding - A method for filtering out a useful signal of a mobile radio terminal from a plurality of superimposed signals having a signal quality received by base stations in a cellular mobile radio network. The superimposed signal of the mobile radio terminal is detected by base stations that are reached and the signal quality of the received and superimposed signal of every base station reached is determined. The signal quality of a selected base station is then transmitted to a decision element and a selection of a selected base station is made by the decision element to decode the useful signal of the mobile radio terminal. The invention also relates to a device for filtering out a useful signal of a mobile radio terminal from a plurality of superimposed signals received by base stations in a cellular mobile radio network. | 12-23-2010 |
20120002644 | COORDINATED INTEGRATION OF SECONDARY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TERMINALS INTO A PRIMARY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A communication method for a mobile communication system is described. Available radio resources, i.e. an available frequency band, are divided into a plurality of comparatively small radio resource units. The mobile communication system uses a first communication protocol for communicating with mobile stations compatible with the mobile communication system. For communicating with an autonomous terminal at least one radio resource unit is allocated, in which a second communication protocol incompatible with the first communication protocol is used for communicating with the terminal. | 01-05-2012 |
20130121228 | METHOD FOR MANAGING ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN A WIRELESS NETWORK AND CORRESPONDING WIRELESS NETWORK SYSTEM - A method for managing energy consumption in a wireless network, in particular a mobile radio network, wherein the wireless network includes radio access points that provide uplink and downlink connections to the wireless network for mobile stations, and wherein the uplink and the downlink connection of at least one mobile station being connected to the wireless network are physically served by different radio access points is characterized in that, at least temporarily, one or more of the radio access points function as unidirectional radio access points that provide either uplink connections or downlink connections—radio resource access—for the at least one mobile station. Furthermore, a corresponding wireless network system is disclosed. | 05-16-2013 |
20130136113 | COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A communication network, wherein the network includes a plurality of communication elements that function as transmitters and/or receivers, in particular base stations and operating nodes being associated to at least one of the base stations, wherein the communication between the transmitters and the receivers is performed by way of generating and transmitting signals based on a multi-carrier modulation with a number of N subcarriers around a carrier frequency f | 05-30-2013 |
20130225130 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A NETWORK AND A NETWORK - Method for operating a network or allowing a simplified use of an M2M (Machine to Machine) node or M2M nodes for providing Machine-Type Communication (MTC), wherein at least one M2M node providing and/or using an M2M service is assigned to a cellular network and will be authorized for communication therewith for providing MTC. At least one M2M node will be associated with at least one master terminal that owns a unique master terminal ID (Identifier), which uniquely identifies the master terminal within the cellular network, and a state of authentication of the M2M node or M2M nodes will be initialized, based on authentication data of the master terminal, so that the M2M node or nodes can be addressed using the master terminal ID and can directly communicate with the cellular network on the basis of the initialized state of authentication. A network for carrying out the method is also described. | 08-29-2013 |
20130301603 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING A RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL IN WIRELESS NETWORK FOR COMMUNICATION AND A CORRESPONDING SYSTEM - A method for providing a random access channel in a, preferably OFDMA-based, wireless network for communication includes: a) defining at least one radio frame according to a frame structure of the wireless network for data transmission; b) providing at least one random access channel in the radio frame by at least one base station of the wireless network for random data transmission of at least one user equipment; c) accessing the at least one random access channel by the at least one user equipment for random data transmission; d) determining network information of the, preferably OFDMA-based, wireless network including network user equipment related information of the at least one user equipment; and e) assigning the at least one random access channel according to the determined network information for random data transmission. A corresponding system is also described. | 11-14-2013 |
20140153454 | METHOD FOR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN A CELLULAR COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A method for resource management in a cellular communication network, wherein the network includes at least one base station per cell for a plurality of cells that operates in TDD (Time Division Duplex) transmission mode, wherein the base stations implement a respective UL/DL configuration mode in which frames are composed of a specific sequence of downlink DL, uplink UL and special S subframes, is characterized in that the base stations are operated such that neighboring base stations with adjacent and/or overlapping coverage areas employ different UL/DL configuration modes, wherein interference between neighboring base stations is taken account of by implementing power control on a subframe basis. Furthermore, a resource management system for use in a cellular communication network is described. | 06-05-2014 |
20140162675 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DATA COMMUNICATION IN HIERARCHICALLY STRUCTURED NETWORK - A method for data communication in a hierarchically structured network including at least two lower level entities on a lower level, at least one higher level entity on a higher level, wherein each higher level entity provides lowlink connections to each of the lower level entities and highlink connections to at least one further high level entity wherein a lower level entity the higher level entity connected to the low level entity and the high level entity connected to the higher level entity defines a connection branch, includes: determining communication capabilities of the lowlink and highlink connections in each branch; providing communication capability information according to the determined communication capabilities to the lower level entities; determining the connections in each branch having the lower one of the data communication capability; and adapting the data communication capabilities of the connections in each branch according to the determined lower data communication capability. | 06-12-2014 |
