Title: Scheduling Resources at a Relay Station in a Mobile Communications Network
Inventor: HADEF MAHMOUD
IPC: H04W74/04
Filed: 2013-08-07
Abstract: A relay station 121-124 and a method of performing scheduling at a relay station, in a mobile communications network 100, are disclosed. Scheduling information is received, defining scheduling parameters for downlink transmission of data stored in a buffer, and channel state information is received from a device associated with the relay station. Updated scheduling parameters are obtained based on the received scheduling information, the channel state information, and the amount of data currently stored in the buffer. Data stored in the buffer can then be transmitted to the associated device, according lo the updated scheduling parameters. The channel stale information can be transmitted to a base station or intermediate relay station to provide feedback about the channel state. The channel state information can be quantized before being transmitted, to reduce the volume of data being transmitted over the network. The relay station may be part of a device to device D2D or Wimax communication system.

Title: Optimised ion mobility separation timescales for targeted ions
Inventor: GILES KEVIN
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2014-03-05
Abstract: An ion analytical device comprises a separator 2 for separating ions according to a physico-chemical property (e.g. mobility or mass-to-charge ratio), an interface 3 (e.g. ion guide) and a quadrupole rod set mass filter 4 arranged downstream of the interface 3. A first group of ions emerging from the separator 2 is transmitted through the interface 3 with a first transit time, and a second group of ions subsequently emerging from the separator 2 is transmitted with a second different transit time. The transit time through the interface 3 may be altered during a single cycle of operation. The second group of ions may be delayed so that they arrive at the mass filter 4 only after the mass filter 4 has sufficient time to switch to transmitting a corresponding mass-to-charge ratio for these ions. The invention may allow a relatively fast ion mobility spectrometer to be coupled to a relative slow quadrupole mass filter.
