Abstract: Polymeric allophanate based on diphenylmethane diisocyanate is produced by reacting hydroxy (OH)-group containing compound(s) and diphenylmethane diisocyanate in the presence of allophanate catalyst at a temperature of 80-110[deg]C to form allophanate-modified diphenylmethane diisocyanate; and cooling the allophanate-modified diphenylmethane diisocyanate to a temperature of 20-70[deg]C for 1 hour to 30 days. Production of polymeric allophanate based on diphenylmethane diisocyanate having isocyanate (NCO) group (12-30 wt.%) comprises reacting hydroxy (OH)-group containing compound(s) and diphenylmethane diisocyanate in the presence of allophanate catalyst at a temperature of 80-110[deg]C to form allophanate-modified diphenylmethane diisocyanate; and cooling the allophanate-modified diphenylmethane diisocyanate to a temperature of 20-70[deg]C for 1 hour to 30 days to form a polymeric allophanate based on diphenylmethane diisocyanate. The OH-group containing compound(s) is from aliphatic alcohols, aromatic alcohols, and/or aliphatic diols. The diphenylmethane diisocyanate comprises (wt.%) 2,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (0-60), 2,2'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (less than 6), and the balance is 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate. An independent claim is also included for a polymeric allophanate based on diphenylmethane diisocyanate comprising allophanate-modified isocyanate based on diphenylmethane isocyanate (MDI) having NCO group content of 20-32%.

Abstract: An obj ect of the present invention is to support various
QoSs and to use resources effectively in a radio communication
system. In a radio communication system where, concerning
the maximum allowable delay and the reception error rate
as required values for QoS, a first mobile station group
of which the maximum allowable delay is less than a reference
value and the reception error rate is a reference value or
more, and a second mobile station group of which the maximum
allowable delay is a reference value or more and the reception
error rate is less than a reference value coexist, the base
station sets the transmission power margin for a mobile
station of the first mobile station group to be higher than
the transmission power margin for a mobile station of the
second mobile station group, and a mobile station of the
first mobile station group sets the transmission power margin
to be higher than the transmission power margin of a mobile
station of the second mobile station group. In a case of
a radio communication where data retransmission is allowed,
the base station increases the transmission power margin
as the data retransmission count in the downlink increases,
and the mobile station increases the transmission power
margin as the data retransmission count in the uplink
increases.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of signal processing for telecommunications, and concerns a method and receiver for processing a multi-user signal. In the method of the invention, a multi-user signal is processed by a receiver using an iterative receiver process including the steps of (a) receiving a signal transmission including a plurality of user signals on a TDMA channel, (b) detecting one or more user signals and determining transmission channel estimates for each said user signal, (c) deriving a soft signal for a first user by subtracting, if available, weighted representations of other user signals from the detected user signal of said first user, (d) calculating a-posteriori probabilities for each symbol comprising the soft signal, (e) refining said probabilities utilizing the transmission channel estimate for the first user in an iterative decoding algorithm, wherein a probability is either partially or fully decoded depending on the application of decoder convergence criteria, and (f) returning to step (a), (b) or (c) with the refined probabilities forming part of the weighted representations to be subtracted from detected user signals of other users. This method allows for efficient detection and decoding of multiple user signals by controlling the behaviour of an iterative decoding algorithm operating within an iterative receiver process.
