Title: Method and system for coexistence between wireless communication networks
Inventor: RAHMAN MOHAMMAD AZIZUR
IPC: H04W16/14
Filed: 2011-02-28
Abstract: The disclosed method and system prevent communication interference between wireless communication networks and allow coexistence in a communication space by time partitioning or frequency partitioning. By means of accessing a CMDB (2) in which are stored at least position information, channel information and coexistence methods of other wireless communication networks (3), one wireless communication network (3) determines for each channel the amount of interference with said other wireless communication networks (3), selects, on the basis of the amount of interference determined for each channel, another wireless communication network (3) trying to coexist, the coexistence channels, and the coexistence methods thereof, updates the CMDB (2) to reflect the same, and sends to the CMDB (2) a signal requesting coexistence to said selected other wireless communication network; said selected other wireless communication network (3), upon accessing the CMDB (2) and obtaining the coexistence request, controls so as to allow coexistence in a communication space on the basis of the channels and the coexistence methods thereof updated in the CMDB (2).

Title: Avoiding call drop on handover in a wireless communications system
Inventor: HARROW JAMES EDWARD BRERETON
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2012-10-18
Abstract: The likelihood of dropping a call while a User Equipment (112) is moving quickly from a macrcell (C) into a small cell (B) and then out again because there is insufficient time to set up measurements in the User Equipment, is mitigated by forcing the User Equipment to enter compressed mode as soon as it hands over to the small cell (B). By immediately forcing the User Equipment to enter compressed mode rather than waiting until it reports that the serving cell is getting weak, it stands a better chance of finding inter-frequency (ie. non-co-channel) and inter-RAT (ie. different radio access technologies) neighbouring cells ready to hand out to. The UE is instructed to enter compressed mode if the macrocell from which it is handed over is known to be a problem cell. A problem cell is defined as a cell for which a UE, after being handed over therefrom, into the small cell, requires handing over to another cell before expiry of a predetermined time period.

Title: A cellular bearer PDU header indicates that a SDU is a device-to-device PDU and device-to-device PDUs are encapsulated within the cellular bearer PDUs
Inventor: RANTA JUKKA TAPIO
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2012-10-30
Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program for enabling a device-to-device (D2D) bearer to stay alive even in an instance in which a D2D connection is lost. In one embodiment, upon detecting that a D2D bearer is to be terminated 506, a cellular bearer protocol data unit (PDU) header is modified to indicate that a cellular bearer service data unit (SDU) is a D2D PDU 508. One or more D2D PDUs are then encapsulated within one or more cellular bearer PDUs for transmission via a cellular bearer 510. The cellular bearer PDUs may be decoded at a base station to extract the D2D PDUs so that they may be routed to a receiving mobile terminal. Encapsulation of the D2D PDUs may be terminated if the D2D connection is restored, an acknowledgement is not received from a radio link control (RLC) or A D2D buffer is exhausted 512.

The overlay includes cursors 52, 53, 56, 57 such as vertical and horizontal grid lines displayed to touch an object image and an indication of scale of distance between lines indicating object actual physical dimensions. The processor may compensate for optical aberrations. Pixels per distance unit can be returned from a lookup table of values based on the lens focus position and a zoom lens position or digital magnification level. The user may select cursor adjustment to cause the cursors to adjust position.

Title: Replication for on-line hot-standby database
Inventor: RAATIKKA VILHO
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2013-06-25
Abstract: A primary database server node creates a snapshot of a database. The database structure metadata is then sent to a backup node. Each of the database pages are sent from the primary node to the backup node. During the transmission of the metadata and pages, a log of the transactions being carried out by the primary node is created. The page affected by each of the logged transactions is recorded with the transactions. When a database page is sent to the backup node, the transactions, which affect that page, are sent at the same time. If multiple pages are affected by the same transaction, both pages may be sent at the same time. Modified database pages and pages in memory may be prioritized for sending to the backup node.

Title: Method and device for data communication in a network
Inventor: BARON STÃ PHANE
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2014-08-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a communication device and a method of sending data over a communication network. The communication device comprises a controller for accessing the communication network using a contention type access mechanism based on computation of back-off values (such as EDCA), and a plurality of traffic queues for serving data traffic at different priorities. The controller comprises a plurality of back-off engines, each associated with one traffic queue and configured to compute a back-off value in accordance with the priority of the associated traffic queue. At least one of the back-off engines is adjusted thereby preventing the back-off value reaching zero. A transmission opportunity (TXOP) granted to a node is shared among several nodes using TDMA. Preventing a back-off value reaching zero stops a sharing node from contending for access which may conflict with the TDMA transmission scheme.
