Title: Passive intermodulation shaping
Inventor: JOHN TURK
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2016-02-23
Abstract: An apparatus is provided for controlling radio resource allocation in a node of a radio access network to minimize interference in a received uplink signal caused by passive intermodulation (PIM) between downlink signals for transmission by the same antenna in the same frame. The apparatus comprises a logical module configured for use in a scheduler for allocating physical resource blocks (PRBs) to plural user equipment (UE) in a frame for transmitting data to the UEs from a single antenna of the node. The logical module is configured to receive channel quality indicators (CQIs) of PRB allocations for different UEs in the frame, determine suitable PRBs for each UE, based on the CQI and determine a PRB allocation for each UE from the suitable PRBs for each UE based on: in the time domain, minimizing the spread in time slots for each UE; and; in the frequency domain, maximizing the spread in frequency for each UE.

Title: A current load circuit, electrical supply system and vehicle
Inventor: STEVEN HORTON
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 2016-04-01
Abstract: A current load circuit provides a predetermined current load on a current load line of an electrical supply system of a vehicle. The current load circuit comprises a switching boost converter 51 charged from the current load line 34 and discharged to a return line 55 of the electrical supply system of the vehicle. A current load control circuit 53 controls the operation of the switching boost converter to maintain a current load on the current load line above a predetermined current during operation of the switching boost converter, such that a portion of the current drawn from the current load line is returned to the return line of the electrical supply system of the vehicle. The current load circuit provides a regulated load for a vehicle electrical system so that a control device of the vehicle correctly detects the presence of an element (e.g. retrofitted LED lighting or trailer braking system) whilst the current load circuit dissipates less power than some conventional circuits.
