Title: Telecommunications control with almost blank subframe reservation in a self organizing network
Inventor: ZHANHONG LU
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: A self-organizing network (SON) engine for optimizing a telecommunications network is described. The telecommunications network may be a heterogeneous network including a macro cell with a small cell located inside the macro cell. The SON engine is configured to obtain traffic data describing traffic in the macro cell and in the small cell. The traffic data provides an indication of the load on each of the macro cell and the small cell and can be used to determine, for example, if the macro cell is overloaded and user devices need to be offloaded to the small cell. The self-organizing network engine is configured to determine one or more almost blank sub-frames to be reserved in a transmission schedule depending on the traffic data, and to command the base stations of the macro cell and small cell to transmit data to and from user devices at the edge of the small cell using the almost blank sub-frames, and to transmit data to and from user devices in the macro cell and in the centre of the small cell using sub-frames other than the almost blank sub-frames. The SON engine also determines a cell range expansion power offset of a small cell.

Title: Mapping a space using a multi-directional camera
Inventor: Robert Lukierski
IPC: G06T7/579
Filed: 2015-08-28
Abstract: A space is mapped using a monocular multi-directional camera. Mapping may be performed in relation to a robot (Figs. 1A & 1B) comprising the camera and a movement actuator. The mapping generates an occupancy map (Fig. 3) to determine navigable portions of the space. Pose data is determined (630) using a features set detected within an image sequence obtained (610) by the camera at different angular positions, the pose data indicating the camera location and orientation at the positions. Depth values are estimated (630) by evaluating a volumetric function (e.g. dense omni-directional cost volume around a reference image) of the images and the pose data, each depth value representing a distance from the camera to an object in the space. The depth values are processed to populate an occupancy map for the space (640). The camera may comprise a depth sensor to capture depth and image data, the depth data being an additional constraint within the volumetric function. Estimating depth values by evaluating a volumetric function may comprise determining a photometric error between image values of a reference image of the sequence and projected image values from comparison images that overlap the reference. Depth values minimising the error are selected.

Title: A decoder, encoder, computer program and method
Inventor: BRIAN EDWARDS
IPC: H04N21/81
Filed: 2016-11-08
Abstract: The invention relates to an Early Warning System (EWS) for use in a Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) system. A broadcast decoder, (e.g. DVB receiver) operates to demodulate broadcast physical layer data (PHY layer) in a low power (stand-by) mode and a transport stream in a high power mode. When the decoder detects the presence of an EWS flag in the demodulated broadcast physical layer data, 410, it switches to operate in the high power mode. When operating in the high power a check is then made for the presence of a checking flag in the transport stream. If the checking flag is detected an alert is triggered, 430. The decoder may also store geographical information showing the location of the decoder. This can be compared with geographical information included in the transport stream so that an alert is only triggered if it applies to the region where the decoder is located, 425. The invention can be used to enable a DVB receiver to indicate the imminence of an emergency event (such as an earthquake, tsunami, severe weather event etc.) A corresponding encoder is also described.
