Title: Multicoordinated Scheduling based on the geographical location of a mobile device
Inventor: LIOULIS NIKOLAOS
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2012-09-13
Abstract: A scheduler for a cellular telecommunications network having a first base station, the base station corresponding to a first cell, the scheduler being adapted to: identify a geographical location of a first mobile device connected to the base station; obtain resource usage information of mobile devices located in proximity to the first mobile device but connected to a second cell of the network; and, based on the geographical location of the first mobile device/User Equipment (UE) and the resource usage information, allocate Resource Blocks (RBs) to the first mobile device. Aspects of the invention include identifying if the mobile device is located at the edge of the cell (identifying category of UEs), and identifying the geographical location of the mobile device if it is located at the edge of the cell. Further aspects include forwarding a report of RB allocation and location information to a different network component. By basing the allocation of the resource blocks to UE based on the specific location of UE in the cell area, in addition to, or instead of, whether or not the UE is positioned at the edge of the cell, the risk of resource block conflict is mitigated and the interference caused by MSs connected to other cells of the network is reduced.

Title: A heater for preheating vehicle components
Inventor: GODSALL COLIN
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 2013-02-13
Abstract: The heater receives a wake signal to commence heating and selects and initiates a first heating profile sequence of the heater from a plurality of sequences to heat a fluid. If a warning signal is received to indicate the fluid is being or will be overheated, the heater selects and initiates a second, different, heating profile sequence to heat the fluid. Ideally, thermal energy is transferred to the fluid at a lower rate for at least an initial period using the second sequence than using the first. The heater may be a fuel operated heater 18 supplied with fuel from a fuel tank 16 by a pump 20 to heat coolant in a fluidic circuit C of a vehicle having an engine 8 and a HEVAC system 12. In extreme cold conditions the engine may need preheating and the viscosity of coolant may be elevated such that coolant flows slowly and is overheated under normal operation. To mitigate this, in extreme cold conditions the heater may open a valve 14 and pump less fuel to the fuel operated heater so that coolant overheating is prevented. The heater can also be used to preheat a combustion engine of a portable heater.
