摘要:
A mobile station positioning method for a cellular communications system includes evaluating an initial position estimate of a target mobile station having an initial area of uncertainty, evaluating a position estimate of a further mobile station of the system, estimating distance between the target and further mobile stations and using the position and distance estimates to evaluate a new position estimate of the target mobile station having a reduced area of uncertainty. Bi-circular and tri-circular methods are described.
摘要:
A reconfiguration management architecture for a mobile communications system which includes a network and at least one software-definable terminal comprises a configuration management part (10) within the or each terminal and a configuration control part (20). The configuration management part (10) implements a proposed configuration to reconfigure the terminal provided the configuration control part (20) validates the proposed configuration.
摘要:
A source detection system for detecting wireless communication signals, the system comprising: receiving means for receiving a signal; and processing means arranged to filter the signal to separate it into a plurality of frequency components, determine an energy content for each of the frequency components, calculate a measure of the difference between the energy contents of respective frequency components, and make a determination, from said measure, whether the signal has been transmitted from a source.
摘要:
A method for determining the optimum allocation of resources in a mobile telecommunication network. The method includes the step of calculating a fitness parameter for each service class where the fitness parameter is dependent on the quality of service index QoSi, the dynamic queue length q1, and the frequency of resources f1, for each service class.
摘要:
A method of obtaining a relative indicator for use in scheduling uplink transmissions from a plurality of source user equipments to a base station is disclosed. The relative indicator indicates the status of a user equipment in comparison to the status of the other user equipments, therefore allowing a user equipment to make more efficient scheduling decisions. The method comprises the steps of determining, for each user equipment, a first indicator which is indicative of a status of that user equipment, determining at least one second indicator from the first indicators obtained for all user equipments and broadcasting the or each second indicator to all user equipments. In this way, a significant reduction the downlink signalling load can be achieved.

摘要:
A method for estimating cell coverage in a mobile telecommunications network. The method includes the steps of receiving signal quality and position information from the users of the network and using the information to calculate a coverage map. Update information is also received to update the coverage map. The estimated cell coverage can be used in radio resource allocation methods.
