Abstract: A base station 103 for a cellular communication system such as a universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) comprises a user equipment store 205 which provides a user equipment subset which identifies at least one user equipment 107 associated with the base station. An access processor 203 restricts access to the base station 103 to the user equipments 107 that belong to the user equipment subset. A path loss processor 209 determines a path loss estimate indication from at least one neighbouring base station 101 to a cell 105 supported by the base station 103. A parameter controller 207 sets an operating parameter for the cell 105 in response to the path loss estimate indication. The operating parameter may be a broadcast channel transmit power of a base station 103 or a user equipment 107, a maximum traffic channel transmit power of a base station 103 or a user equipment 107, a receiver sensitivity, or a handover parameter. The invention may allow facilitated or improved introduction and/or configuration of restricted base stations supporting only specific user equipments. In many scenarios, a restricted base station may be configured depending on a path loss estimate such that improved performance may be achieved without any frequency planning for the base station 103.

Title: Semi active laser target detection method with coherent reception
Inventor: FENDT ALFRED
IPC: G01S17/34
Filed: 2008-03-20
Abstract: A target detection method is disclosed in which a target object Z is illuminated with coherent radiation S' from a laser designator DS and the radiation S reflected by the target is detected and coherently mixed by one or more detectors incorporated in a seeker. The differential signal obtained in a downstream detector D and lying in the frequency range between 0 and 10 GHz is narrow band filtered and processed further. The designator radiation may be modulated to allow information to be conveyed to the seeker. The disclosed heterodyne method is particularly suited for allowing a semi active laser (SAL) seeker to detect a designator using modulated continuous wave (CW) radiation in a sufficiently sensitive manner. CW designator radiation is distinctly harder to detect than the pulsed radiation of conventional laser warning systems.

Title: Generating a linear dispersion code for use in a MIMO system using a second matrix itself derived from a first matrix
Inventor: JIANG MING
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2008-08-14
Abstract: A method of generating an LDC for use in a MIMO communication system in which M transmit antennas are used to transmit a codeword over T time slots, each codeword encoding Q constellation symbols. The invention involves generating a first matrix S2a (such as the external control matrix defined in equations 7 and 8 of p15) having 2Q columns and a predetermined number m of rows, each column comprising a plurality of elements, each element being a real number within a respective predefined range for the respective row. A second matrix S4a (such as the internal control matrix of equations 10 and 11 of p15) having 2Q columns and m rows is derived from the first matrix. Claim 1 requires that "the elements of one row of the second matrix are dependent upon the corresponding elements of the corresponding row of the first matrix and upon M and T". A set of 2Q LDC dispersion matrices, each of dimensions T x M is generated from the second matrix. Preferably this involves generating rotated unitary matrices from the second matrix S5a (equation 12), generating 2Q unitary matrices from the rotated unitary matrices S6a (equations 13 and 14) and extracting from each unitary matrix a corresponding LDC dispersion matrix by selecting elements of the unitary matrix using a dimension requirement based on the relative values of T and M (equations 17-19). An optimization procedure preferably involves generating a plurality of different LDCs and applying a cost-function to each.
