Abstract:
The disclosed subject matter provides for selecting a radio access technology resource based on historical data related to the radio access technology resource. Location information can be employed to determine a radio access technology resource. Historical information related to the radio access technology resource can then be employed to determine the suitability of the radio access technology resource. A set of radio access technology resources can be ordered or ranked to allow selection of a suitable radio access technology resource from the set. Incorporation of historical information can provide for additional metrics in the selection of a radio access technology resource over simple contemporaneous radio access technology resource information. In some embodiments timed fingerprint location (TFL) information can be employed to determine a location.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) location in a wireless network can be determined by leveraging geometric calculations for an overlaid bin grid framework mapping the wireless network area to store differential values for each frame of the bin grid framework for each pair of relevant NodeBs. A timing offset can be determined, such that when a time value from a target UE is accessed, the location can be quickly determined with minimal real time computation. In an aspect, the time value from an idle-state target UE can be accessed. The target UE time value can be searched among pre-computed differential value data sets indexed by relevant NodeB site pairs to return sets of frames that can facilitate converging on a location for the target UE. Intersecting frames can represent the geographic location of the UE in the wireless network. Further, the data can be leveraged to correct timing in the network.
Abstract:
A method of measuring frequency interference between adjacent cell sites in a wireless telecommunications system. The method includes selecting a frequency in a cell site to be used as a beacon frequency. The method also includes activating the beacon frequency in the cell site and recording, at a telecommunications switch, a signal strength of the beacon frequency as measured by a first wireless device operating in the cell site and a signal strength of the beacon frequency as measured by a second wireless device operating in another cell site. The method further includes determining the frequency interference between the cell site and the other cell site based on the signal strengths.

Abstract:
In a cellular communications system having a centralized radio processing portion (a base station hotel) in communication with a plurality of remote air interface radio portions (or radio heads) over a transport medium, the centralized radio processing portion compensates for a fixed delay associated with the transport medium coupling the centralized radio processing portion and one of the remote air interface radio portions when evaluating a time period corresponding to a variable delay between transmission by a mobile in communication with the one of air interface radio portions and receipt of the transmission by the centralized radio processing portion. The variable delay may relate to time out periods or time slot synchronization.

Abstract:
A method for continuously producing high-strength welded composite panels from thermoformable material facings and expanded thermoformable material cores comprising the steps of: simultaneously feeding facing sheets and core into a welder that has automated feed rollers; heating the lower side of the top face and the upper side of the lower face simultaneously with both faces of the inner core of expanded thermoformable material; continuing to heat them to 100-400° C. until the surfaces reach the initial melt and/or hot tack temperature of the materials; pressing the heated faces together against the heated surface of the core material to consolidate the composite structure; and allowing the materials to cool while under pressure and continuing to move forward in the engaged roller mechanism until the entire panel has been welded and is dimensionally stable.
Abstract:
A method of limiting access to data of a cellular telephone. The method of limiting access may be accomplished by defining in the cellular telephone a subsidy lock code for use in activating the cellular telephone on the designated cellular network. The step of defining occurs before the cellular telephone is activated on a cellular network. The subsidy lock code is defined in manner that prevents the subsidy lock code from being erased using the keypad of the cellular telephone. When procedures are initiated by an entity for activating the cellular telephone on the cellular network, the entity must demonstrate knowledge of the subsidy lock code. Upon demonstration of knowledge of the subsidy lock code, the cellular telephone may be activated on the cellular network by the entity.
Abstract:
A novel process for creating aesthetically pleasing multicolor designs and patterns in cast materials, particularly cementitious materials, which may be used to imitate natural stone in appearance. The process includes the steps of preparing multiple colors of the casting material, geometrically loading these colors in a three dimensional array in a holding container according to formulas corresponding to particular patterns to be created, placing the geometrically loaded colors into a mold by means which include pouring, extruding and spraying, consolidating the mixtures in the mold and allowing them to set, and removing the cast structure from the mold followed by polishing and sealing if required. A removable matrix in the holding container provides the ability to reliably repeat patterns according to the loading formulas.
