Abstract: This invention relates to methods and systems for optimizing network catchment areas, in particular based on completion times of the customer premises. Embodiments of the invention aggregate different customer premises to form demarcated catchment areas by minimizing the overall weighted cost function comprising the distance and completion time within each catchment area, while also considering practical constraints. Embodiments of the invention allow network planners to specify their preferences of distance against time to produce cost-effective network schemes for very large numbers of customer premises and form network catchment areas without any overlapping.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and systems for monitoring mobile service quality in a mobile network and also for determining parts of a mobile network which need expansion or upgrade. Embodiments of the invention monitor the market impact and/or service quality, and determine an expansion ranking. The market impact, service quality and/or expansion ranking may view the network from a plurality of perspectives, including a location perspective, an historical time perspective, a future time perspective and/or a network element type perspective. The results of the monitoring and determining can be acted on by predetermined rules and/or actions to derive a list of prioritized expansion tasks for the network.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and devices for bias estimation and correction, particularly for time-of-arrival (TOA) based wireless geolocation systems. Multipath and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) biases can cause distance estimation errors in the range of tens-hundreds of meters and is particularly problematic in urban and indoor environments. The behavior of the biases dynamically changes depending on the clutter and/or obstructions between the base station and the mobile device. Aspects of the present invention provide practical real-time bias estimation and correction techniques for TOA-based systems and are based on inferring and estimating the biases from dynamic time differential measurements. The techniques can operate in real-time and involve simple calculations.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and systems for limiting consumption, particularly power consumption, more particularly by appliances in a building, and is generally suitable for integration with building management systems. Embodiments of the invention provide arrangements in which the aggregated power load of a plurality of appliances is capped to a selected value (which may be arbitrary, or may be dictated by conditions) while seeking to minimize the deviation from target environmental conditions within the building through a combination of distributed decision making by the appliances themselves and centralized orchestration, which may be informed by real-time sensor readings and/or known properties of the building. The distributed decision-making by individual devices may be based on projected deviation from the target conditions after a period of activity or inactivity but with a central controller which determines which devices should be switched on.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of frequency synchronization accuracy as an additional quality metric for mobile call handover between base stations. Call handover is of major importance within any mobile network; without checking frequency synchronization before handover dropped calls and interrupted communication can result.

Abstract: Architecture for real-time extraction of maximally stable extremal regions (MSERs) is disclosed. The architecture includes communication interface and processing circuitry that is adapted in hardware to receive a data streams of an intensity image and a depth image in real-time and provide intensity labels for image regions within the intensity image that match a given intensity threshold and provide depth labels for image regions within the depth image that match a given depth threshold. The processing circuitry is also adapted in hardware to find intensity extremal regions within the intensity image based upon the intensity labels and to find depth extremal regions within the depth image based upon the depth labels. The processing circuitry determines strong extremal regions based upon significant overlap between the intensity extremal regions and depth extremal regions. The processing circuitry then determines X-MSER ellipses parameters based upon the strong extremal regions and X-MSER criteria.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and devices for frequency distribution based on, for example, the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP). Packet delay variation (PDV) is a direct contributor to the noise in the recovered clock and various techniques have been proposed to mitigate its effects. Embodiments of the invention provide a mechanism to directly measure and remove PDV effects in the clock recovery mechanism at a slave clock. One particular embodiment provides a clock recovery mechanism including a phase-locked loop (PLL) with a PDV compensation feature built-in. An aim of the invention is to enable a slave clock to recover the master clock to a higher quality as if the communication path between master and slave is free of PDV. This technique may allow a packet network to provide clock synchronization services to the same level as time division multiplexing (TDM) networks and Global Positioning System (GPS).

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and devices for synchronization using linear programming, especially over packet networks using, for example, the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP). Timing protocol messages are exposed to artifacts in the network such as packet delay variations (PDV) or packet losses. Embodiments of the invention provide a two-dimensional linear programming technique for estimating clock offset and skew, particularly from two-way exchange of timing messages between a master and a slave device. Some embodiments include a skew and offset adjustable free-running counter for regenerating the master time and frequency at the slave device.
