Title: Telecommunications apparatus and methods
Inventor: TRUELOVE STEPHEN
IPC: H04W68/04
Filed: 2013-04-19
Abstract: A core network element selects a base station (or eNodeB) from among a plurality of base stations comprising a tracking area or location area to have primary responsibility for paging a terminal device and conveys an indication of the terminal device to the selected base station. When a terminal device is to be paged, the core network element transmits a paging request to the plurality of base stations comprising the tracking area. If a base station determines that it has a responsibility for paging the terminal device, it will transmit a paging message accordingly. If it does not have a responsibility for paging the terminal device, it will not transmit the paging message. The base station may be selected based on a likely position of the terminal device, and is particularly relevant to low mobility devices, such as Machine Type Communication (MTC) devices. This is intended to reduce the amount of paging signalling.

Title: Method for determining position with improved calibration by opposing sensors
Inventor: DAVID CLOSE
IPC: G01H11/06
Filed: 2016-06-09
Abstract: A method and system for determining position with improved calibration allows a device to initiate activity at the proper location, such as navigating a drill bit 20 through a rock formation. A pair of position sensors 30, 30 in the form of oscillating elements, in opposite orientations generates position data signals. A temperature sensor 40 detects temperature and duration of the temperature. An adjusted plastic bias value may be determined by a processor module based on the temperature data signal, the duration of the temperature, and the position data signals so as to account for bias and hysteresis errors and error correction based on the opposing orientations of the pair of position sensors. A position value is set according to the adjusted plastic bias value so that the position value is more accurate. The activity of the terminal device 20, such as a drill bit is initiated or maintained according to the position value calibrated by the adjusted plastic bias value.
