Title: Communication system
Inventor: BAGAYOKO ABDOULAYE
IPC: H04W76/02
Filed: 2013-09-11
Abstract: A communication system is disclosed in which a base station controls direct device to device (D2D) communication between communication devices. The base station transmits information identifying a pattern of radio frames designated for communicating D2D signals between communication devices S400). When the base station receives a request for allocation of resources for transmitting D2D signals by a communication device (S403), it transmits, to the communication device, information identifying the communication resources allocated for the D2D signals within the designated radio frames responsive to the request (S407). The base station also transmits, for receipt by at least one other communication device in a vicinity of the requesting communication device, an indication that D2D signals are to be transmitted (S409).

Title: Push-based transmission of resources and correlated network quality estimation
Inventor: FABLET YOUENN
IPC: H04L47/80
Filed: 2014-07-25
Abstract: Network quality estimations are performed using the HTTP/2 push feature. When network quality estimation is required, a client web application requests a server to enter a probing mode. The probing mode request may be a request for a media presentation description (MPD) file. During the probing mode, the server pushes useful data to the application for the latter to perform the estimation. This avoids wasting bandwidth since the useful data are likely to be used by the application. Furthermore, during the probing mode, the server notifies the application of the push start and the push end of each pushed data. This is done using a web socket established with the application. This makes it possible to overcome the limitations of the application in accessing HTTP/2 features of a client browser. Based on the notifications, the application is able to perform accurate estimations of network quality metrics and request updates to the quality mode.

Filed: 2014-12-19
Abstract: An arrangement for analysing the biomechanical motion of a wearer comprises an acceleration sensing unit 13, such as an accelerometer, which can be attached to the user, for example the upper body or ear of a user. The accelerometer detects the acceleration values indicative of motion and a processor 14 processes the data in real time from the sensor and produces an output indicative of the biomechanical motion of the wearer. This output is based on a comparison between the measured data and historical data or predetermined acceleration features. The output can be indicative of for example, a fall or stumble of a user, fatigue, gait asymmetry or adaptation of gait to uneven terrain. In embodiments feedback may be provided to the user based on the biomechanical output, such as a visual or audio based feedback. In embodiments the real-time data may be compared to predetermined acceleration features of walking, running, swimming or cycling. In embodiments the arrangement may detect periodicity in the sensed acceleration data and compare quantified metrics between the measured and predetermined thresholds.
