Abstract:
A Relay Station (RS), and a corresponding method of performing scheduling at an RS in a mobile communication network are provided. The RS and corresponding method receive channel state information and scheduling information from an apparatus associated with the RS, the scheduling information defining scheduling parameters for downlink transmission of data. The RS and corresponding method also obtain updated scheduling parameters based on the scheduling information, the channel state information, and an amount of the data.
Abstract:
A wireless network includes a source node, a destination node, and at least a first relay node. The network is arranged to determine a first measure of signal quality for a direct link between the source node and the destination node, and a second measure of signal quality for a link between the source node and the destination node via at least one relay node. At a relay node, the duration of a recruitment slot is determined, within which the relay node may transmit a recruitment message indicating availability of the relay node to relay. The recruitment slot duration is determined on the basis of the first measure of signal quality. In this way, the recruitment of a relay may depend on the signal quality of the direct link from the source node to the destination node.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are presented for improving accuracy in a navigation system. A method of determining a physical characteristic of a receiving device in a navigation system, includes receiving a plurality of navigation signals from a plurality of navigation signal sources, respectively; determining a plurality of measurement estimates, based on the received navigation signals; and determining a physical characteristic of the receiving device by estimating a first set of one or more parameters in an error model, based on at least the plurality of measurement estimates. The error model includes a first error contribution for modeling noise and a second error contribution for modeling indirect signal propagation of the plurality of navigation signals.

Abstract:
A method and a receiver for receiving positioning signals are disclosed. The positioning signals are received from a plurality of first sources in a first frequency range and from a plurality of second sources in a second frequency range different from the first frequency range. The receiver is switched between the first and second frequency ranges to receive the positioning signals, and the receiver obtains time offset information about a time taken to switch the receiver between the first and second frequency ranges, by obtaining a solution to a set of simultaneous equations based on combined navigation data for the first and second sources.
