Title: Estimating success rate of direct data transmissions between mobile devices in a wireless network
Inventor: ROY RON
IPC: H04W76/02
Filed: 2016-02-04
Abstract: In a method for estimating success rate of direct data transmissions between mobile devices in a wireless network, a first group of mobile devices is selected from a plurality of mobile devices in the network. The mobile devices in the first group transmit at least one predefined test message to at least another mobile device in the network. Each mobile device to which a test message has been sent attempts to decode the test messages, and measures the number of successfully decoded messages. An estimate of a success rate is generated based on the number of successfully decoded messages and allocating resources for transmitting messages directly between the mobile devices may be based on the success rate in order to optimise the success rate. A test message may be included within a scheduling assignment message for indicating parameters associated with a subsequent data transmission. The mobile devices may be vehicle-based employing vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) transmissions using LTE-direct LTE-D messages sent between devices over the PC-5 interface, e.g. the sidelink.

Title: Method and apparatus for recovery in a communication system employing redundancy
Inventor: Yakov V Simkin
IPC: H04W24/04
Filed: 2016-12-19
Abstract: A wireless communication system employs system redundancy, specifically it contains a first server and a second backup server. In the case of a failure on the first server, mobile devices are switched over to a second server. Mobile devices will periodically retry connecting to the first server until it recovers at which point they will switch back to the first server. However, idle devices, or those actively using a service, will only gradually switch back to the first server dependent upon the retry interval. This may result in a population on each of the servers which are not able to communicate with each other. Therefore, a first mobile device, in communication with a first server, transmits to the second server an indication that the first server has recovered. Based on the indication received from the first mobile device, the second server informs a second mobile device of the recovery of the first server, thereby expediting a connecting, or a re-connecting, of the second mobile device to the first server. The servers may be providing an application layer service such as evolved Multimedia Broadcast Service (eMBMS).

Title: A fuel filter
Inventor: Ananthan Rajagopalan
IPC: F02M37/32
Filed: 2017-01-20
Abstract: A fluid drain system for a fuel filter 100 comprises a float 20 incorporating a trigger 30, possibly a magnet, for a switch 90. The switch opens the drainage channel when the float device reaches a predetermined level to allow contaminants to flow from the filter. The float may be guided by at least one baffle 40, with stops to prevent the float moving past the limit level. A control system may also be used to prevent the drainage passage opening when a vehicle using the device is moving. The invention aims to prevent the float from sticking due to a build-up of impurities, protect the magnet from damage caused by the fuel, prevent permanent water ingress into the float and prevent misleading readings caused by the drain being inclined.  A filter, internal combustion engine and vehicle using such a drainage system are also disclosed.
