Patent GB-2383213-A (GB)
Title: Open fiber control for optical transceivers
Inventor: CUNNINGHAM DAVID G
IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 2002-10-31
Abstract: The present invention implements open fiber control in an optical transceiver. During normal operation 131, the transceiver transmits signals through a connection to an optical network. When the connection is intact, the total power transmitted can be greater than the eye-safety limit. When the connection breaks, the transceiver detects the loss of signal 133 and disables transmissions over all channels except for one 135. The transceiver continues transmission on the single enabled channel at an eye-safe level. When the connection is fixed and a signal reappears, the transceiver detects the signal reappearance 137 and re-enables all channels that had previously been disabled 139. By allowing the transceiver to transmit with greater optical power when the connection is intact, an increased data rate and longer transmission distances can be achieved. At the same time, safety is preserved, because transmissions drop to acceptable power levels whenever a break is detected.

Patent GB-2407013-A (GB)
Title: Signalling via mains wiring
Inventor: JONES PETER JOHN
IPC: H04B3/56
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: Sending signals over the live and neutral wires of domestic wiring, encounters problems associated with appliance switching and varying impedance due to changes in the load. These problems are reduced by using the neutral and earth wires. A switch or sensor A actuates encoder B, which has a user set code e.g. of 12 bits, which modulates an FM modulator C. The modulator uses two different frequencies to represent binary values and the pulse width may also be different for the binary values. The RF pulses are impressed across the neutral and earth conductors of the mains wiring, via a capacitor G. Additionally the signal may also be applied to the live conductor via capacitor R.

Title: Making broadcast services available to mobile stations outside broadcast area
Inventor: PROCTOR TOBY
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2003-11-18
Abstract: A method of operating a mobile wireless service, e.g. a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS), comprises causing a network controller to broadcast an offer of service to all mobile stations within a cell. The network controller requests an indication of interest in the offered service from each mobile station and receives data from each interested mobile station to enable the position or received signal quality of each mobile station to be determined. The network controller analyses the arrangement of interested mobile stations in one or more predefined areas A and requires that each interested mobile station outside of the range of a subsequent broadcast transmission, e.g. in regions B and C, use an alternative mechanism to receive the service, e.g. a point-to-point connection. Thus, the service may be broadcast at reduced power to the interested mobiles within range.

Title: Providing a multicast service from a macrocell or a microcell
Inventor: CHANG-YOUNG KIM
IPC: H04W36/30
Filed: 2004-02-23
Abstract: A method for providing a multicast service from a macrocell 200 or a microcell 210 to a mobile station in a mobile communication system having a hierarchical cell structure in which a given area is divided into at least one macrocell 200 and at least one microcell 210 overlapping with each other. The mobile station receives a multicast service by accessing the macrocell 200 or the microcell 210 according to a carrier-to-interference ratio (C/I) for the multicast service measured in a macrocell area, 202, 204, 206, 208 and according to an existence or non-existence of a concurrent call currently in service. When there is no concurrent call currently in service, the mobile station receives the multicast service by accessing the macrocell 200 in an area where the measured C/I is equal to or greater than a required C/I. However, when there is a concurrent call currently in service, the mobile station receives the multicast service by accessing the macrocell 200 or the microcell 210 based on the current cell and the C/I.
