Title: Resource allocation in base stations with shared operating bandwidth and overlapping coverage areas
Inventor: CAO FENGMING
IPC: H04W16/16
Filed: 2011-11-15
Abstract: A method of operating a heterogeneous network comprising a first and a second base station (BS) which share operating bandwidth, wherein the coverage areas of the two BS at least partially overlap. The second BS determines the number of users in communicative contact with said second BS for which a minimum quality of service, QoS, requirement is not fulfilled. A message comprising said determined number is transmitted to the first BS (or to a control unit controlling the allocation of transmission resources within the first BS). The first BS (or the control unit) prevents the use of a number of transmission resources by the first BS based on the determined number of users for which a minimum quality of service, QoS, requirement at the second base station is not fulfilled. The first BS may be a macro BS and the second BS may be a Femto-cell BS. A further method includes detecting a number of users of a macro BS that are located within the coverage area of a femto-cell BS, randomly selecting a number of transmission resources that would be available to the femto-cell BS for use, and precluding the femto-cell BS from using the selected transmission resources.

Title: Belt drive having subtractive belt tension force vectors
Inventor: DUNCOMBE ANDREW
IPC: F16H7/00
Filed: 2011-12-14
Abstract: A belt drive comprises a belt (25, fig 1), e.g. a V-belt or V-ribbed belt, a driven pulley 26 and at least idler pulleys 29, 33, 34. The pulleys 26, 29, 33 and 34 are arranged relative to each other so that the belt (25) contacts in sequence idler pulley 29 one side of the drivel pulley 26, the idler pulley 33, an opposing side of the driven pulley and then the idler pulley 34. This arrangement of idler pulleys 26, 29 and 34 results in the belt (25) being held against distinct opposing sides or areas of the driven pulley 26 so that resultant force vectors F12 and F34 of inbound and outbound belt tensions T1-4 of each side/area of contact act in a subtractive manner and reduces a total hub load Fhub. Pulley 29 may drive an alternator 27 and driven pulley 26 may drive a compressor (11) of an air conditioning system (10). Other pulleys may drive a fan or a pump.
