Abstract:
A downlink resource grant is on a first component carrier having a first downlink to uplink DL/UL subframe configuration, and cross schedules to a second component carrier having a different second DL/UL subframe configuration. If a first set SI of downlink subframes associated with a subframe n of the first DL/UL subframe configuration only partially overlaps with a second set S2 of downlink subframes associated with the subframe n of the second DL/UL subframe configuration, then explicit signaling is utilized to select whether uplink radio resources in subframe n for channel selection are implicitly or explicitly allocated. If instead SI does not only partially overlap SI, then a default rule is utilized for allocating the uplink radio resources in subframe n for channel selection. In different examples the explicit signaling is higher layer signaling which configures a UE; or a predetermined state in a field of the PDCCH.

Abstract:
A network access node identifies a component carrier within an unlicensed radio spectrum, determines whether or not to configure the component carrier for use as a secondary component carrier, and based on the determining configures the component carrier for use as a secondary component carrier companion to a primary component carrier within a licensed radio spectrum, In various non-limiting embodiments the network node senses the component carrier within the unlicensed radio spectrum, and as more data is needed to make the determination employs a mobile device to also sense and further to measure the component carrier within the unlicensed radio spectrum. Specific procedures are detailed for both the network node and the mobile device.
Abstract:
A method for determining whether to perform handover of a UE apparatus to a candidate cell and carrier frequency of a TD-CDMA telecommunications network (such as a TD-SCDMA network) based separately on coverage and capacity, using one decision metric for coverage (e.g. based on received signal code power for the candidate cell and carrier frequency) and a different decision metric for capacity (e.g. based on a quantity proportional to the received signal code power for the candidate cell and carrier frequency and inversely proportional to a measure of total interference in the candidate cell on the carrier frequency. Corresponding equipment and a computer program product are also provided. In deciding whether handover is needed based on capacity, a threshold for received signal code power may be used in addition to the metric for capacity.
Abstract:
A real-time calibration method for beam profile ellipsometry systems includes projecting an electromagnetic probe beam having a known polarization state though an objective lens onto the surface of a subject and collecting the reflected probe beam using the same objective. The reflected probe beam is then passed through a rotating compensator and analyzer before being received by a detector. A processor performs a harmonic analysis on the detector output to determine normalized Fourier coefficients. The processor uses Fourier coefficients to measure the retardation δB and the azimuth angle QB of the objective lens; and uses the retardation δB and the azimuth angle QB to identify the ellipsometric effects of the objective lens.

Abstract:
Thickness of a film in a sample may be detected by directing pump laser pulses to the surface of a sample to generate an acoustic pulse in a sample. The acoustic pulse propagates downwards until it reaches an interface between the bottom of the film and a substrate and is reflected back to the top surface of the film as a first echo. A reflection of the first echo propagates downwards and is again reflected back towards the surface as a second echo. Heterodyne interferometry is used to measure the lapse of time between the first and second echos from which the thickness of the film may be determined.
