Title: Systems and methods for determining an average retirement age index
Inventor: NEWMAN HARRY ALAN
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2011-06-30
Abstract: Systems and methods for determining an average retirement age index, the index including a year and week. The method determines a wealth at death of an average couple for a first retirement age. If wealth at death is greater than zero, the retirement age is decreased by one and the wealth at death value is recalculated. This process continues until the wealth at death value is less than zero, at which point the year of the retirement age index is determined by adding one to the current year of the retirement age. The week of the retirement age index is determined by: dividing the opposite of a wealth at death value for the year prior to the year of the average retirement age index by a wealth delta and multiplying the result by fifty--two.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and arrangements in a base station and a user equipment for determining an uplink transmission timing correction for communication in a telecommunication system in which aggregation of component carriers is applied. The base station receives a signal from the user equipment on a uplink (UL) component carrier and measures the arrival time of the signal. A timing correction of the UL transmission timing based on the arrival time of the signal is determined. Thereupon the base station determines for which of the uplink component carriers used by the user equipment the timing correction is valid. The timing correction and the validity information is sent to the user equipment. The user equipment adjusts the UL transmission timing for each UL component carrier the timing correction is valid for.
