Title: A control region of a first subframe indicates a physical resource allocation for a terminal in a user-plane region of a second subframe
Inventor: MORIOKA YUICHI
IPC: H04L5/00
Filed: 2012-05-21
Abstract: A telecommunications system comprises a base station and terminal devices arranged to communicate over a radio interface supporting a downlink shared channel conveying user-plane data from the base station to the terminal devices and a downlink control channel conveying control-plane data from the base station to the terminal devices. The control-plane data conveys information about physical resource allocations for the downlink shared channel for respective ones of the terminal devices. The radio interface is based on a radio frame structure comprising a plurality of subframes, each subframe comprising a control region 700 for supporting the downlink control channel and a user-plane region 702 for supporting the downlink shared channel. The control region 700 of a first radio subframe is used to convey an indication of a physical resource allocation 704 for a first terminal device on the shared downlink channel in the user-plane region 702 of a second radio subframe subsequent to the first radio subframe.

Patent GB-2510556-A (GB)
Title: Aggregating data prior to transmission using timer events
Inventor: MILLER BRYAN J
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2012-12-12
Abstract: The invention performs aggregation of data prior to transmission in order to extend the battery life of mobile devices. When a data bag is received 402, the data bag including data packets destined to be transmitted to an external system, a timer event is attached to the received data bag 404 and it is then temporarily stored 406. The timer event defines the maximum time for which the received data bag is retained before it is transmitted. However, the timer event is overridden based on at least one other time event associated with another data bag. In one embodiment, upon transmission of a data bag after expiry of its timer, all of the other stored data bags are also transmitted prior to turning off the data communication mode, i.e. the respective timer events of the other data bags are overridden. Upon receiving a data bag from the external system, the timer events may also be disregarded and all stored data bags transmitted.

Title: Network elements, wireless communication system and methods therefor
Inventor: SOYKOK AYSE GAYE
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2013-02-19
Abstract: A target cell for handover of a User Equipment from a source cell in a Multi-Operator Core network is selected by storing the PLMN IDs of neighbor cells, identifying a best candidate neighbouring cell for handover from measurement reports sent by the User Equipment and comparing the stored PLMNID of the best candidate neighbouring cell with the PLMNID in use in the source cell. If the source and best candidate neighbouring cell PLMN IDs match then handover to the best candidate neighbouring cell is initiated, otherwise a handover to a next best candidate neighbouring cell with the same PLMNID as the source cell is initiated. The invention enables networks with different radio access network sharing arrangements or no sharing at all to co-exist and provide mobility of a User Equipment. The above may be implemented within small (e.g. femto) cells served by Home Node Bs.

IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 2014-04-16
Abstract: A reinforced medical balloon, including a balloon body member 14, the balloon body member 14 having a circumferential dimension, a longitudinal dimension, and an annular shape in the circumferential dimension, a reinforcement member 30 formed of an array of reinforcement elements 32,34 interleaved with one another so as to include circumferential elements 32 and longitudinal elements 34, the circumferential elements 32 extending in the circumferential dimension of the balloon and substantially transversely to the longitudinal dimension, wherein the circumferential elements 32 have a circular annular shape in the circumferential dimension. The circumferential strengthening elements 32 are pre-tensed in order to remove any undulations within the strengthening elements 32 and to ensure that these have a precise annular size. On the other hand, the longitudinal strengthening elements 34 have undulations therein. The pre-tensing of the strengthening elements 32 ensures that the balloon will not stretch during pressurisation thereof, which can occur when the circumferential strengthening elements have undulations therein, which will be natural artefacts of a weaving or braiding process. The undulations in the longitudinal strengthening elements 34 provides the balloon with increased longitudinal flexibility.

Inventor: PUDNEY CHRISTOPHER DAVID
IPC: H04W8/22
Filed: 2014-08-18
Abstract: A paging procedure of a mobile telecommunications system is modified to page a terminal (UE 1) using all the transceiver node cells (cell c) in the coverage area (TA y) allocated to the terminal (UE 1) that operate in the frequency bands (Fq i) indicated by frequency band capability data for the terminal (UE 1), but not using the transceiver node cells (cells e) in the coverage area (TA y) allocated to the terminal (UE 1) that operate only in other ones of the frequency bands (Fq ii). In the first embodiment coverage area allocation means allocates each of the transceiver node cells (cells a-f) to one or more of the coverage areas (TA x, TA y, TA z) in dependence upon on which of the frequency bands (fq i, fq ii, fq iii) the cell is capable of communicating. The invention aims to reduce the paging overhead by only paging the terminal if they operate in the frequency bands indicated by the frequency band capability data for the terminal.

Title: An apparatus and method for controlling current in an electric supercharger
Inventor: GUILLAUME SALMON
IPC: H02P7/03
Filed: 2014-11-20
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling a motor in an electric supercharger when instructed to increase the speed of the motor to a target speed 2. The method comprises the steps of repeatedly: (i) calculating an adjusted target speed 13, (ii) determining the difference between the adjusted target speed 13 and the actual speed 4 of the motor, (iii) determining a torque set-point 10 for changing the speed of the motor from the actual speed 4 towards the adjusted target speed 13 and (iv) supplying electrical current to the motor dependent on the torque set point 10. The adjusted target speed 13 is calculated as a function of the time elapsed since the instruction to increase the speed, the function being such that, over a response time, the adjusted target speed 13 approaches the target speed 2. The supercharger may be used to supply air to an internal combustion engine. A Control system using the method is also disclosed. The method provides smooth approach to a demanded supercharger speed and prevents overshoot of the target speed.
