Title: Measuring A Network Performance Characteristic
Inventor: Ryan Dominic Shaw
IPC: H04W24/08
Filed: 2018-08-31
Abstract: A method of operating a user equipment, UE, configured for use with a communications network is provided. The method comprises measuring a network performance characteristic associated with a measurement period, and identifying, using historical data, an application on the UE responsible for transmitting data to, and/or receiving data from, the network in the measurement period. The identity of the application is then associated with the network performance characteristic. The performance characteristic may be a data rate, signal strength, latency or packet jitter. Identifying the application may comprise identifying a recently active application from a list of recently active applications, or a list of recently closed applications. The identification may comprise comparing measured data usage with application data profiles. The UE may report the performance and application to the network, possibly when a criterion, is met such as a change in performance, movement or period of time. A measured data profile may be used to determine the maximum data rate of the UE.

Inventor: DAVID MOULE
IPC: H02P21/14
Filed: 2018-12-07
Abstract: A method of characterizing a motor, for example a permanent magnet synchronous motor, by measuring a plurality of values, each corresponding to a different combination of phase current magnitude and phase advance angle, transforming the measured values into the rotor dq reference frame, and fitting the transformed values to a model. The values may be fitted to a flux-linkage model using a process of parametric optimisation. The transformed values may be fitted to a model of motor characteristics to determine one or more temperature dependent parameters, where the fitting to the model is constrained using known temperature invariant parameters. The motor may be used in a power steering arrangement.
