Title: User equipment discards a first measurement configuration included in a first message upon receiving a second measurement configuration message
Inventor: LEE YOUNG DAE
IPC: H04W24/08
Filed: 2011-04-11
Abstract: User equipment (UE), configured to perform measurements logging in a mobile communication system, receives a first measurement configuration message S610 including a first measurement configuration. Upon receiving a second measurement configuration message S620, the UE discards the first measurement configuration and, optionally, a measurement log. Hence, Minimization of Driving Tests (MDT) can be performed by service providers for coverage optimization by transmitting MDT configuration to a UE and handling MDT measurement results based on an old MDT configuration. The measurement configurations may include a logging interval indicating a periodicity for storing a measurement result, a reference time indicating when to send a logged measurement report, and an area configuration indicating an area for performing measurement logging.

Title: Delay and amplitude matching of the main and envelope paths in an envelope-tracking RF amplifier
Inventor: BARTRAM BEN
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2011-05-16
Abstract: In order to minimise signal distortion it is important that the delays and gains of the IQ and envelope paths in an envelope-tracking amplifier system match each other. In a calibration phase the signal generator 122 provides antiphase sinusoidal signals to the IQ and envelope paths while the measurement block 120 varies an adjustable delay 124 to minimise ripple in the detected output power 114. A similar calibration procedure is conducted to determine the gain of the IQ path amplifier 134 that minimises detected power ripple when antiphase calibration signals are applied to the IQ and envelope paths. The bandwidth of the power detector is not important.

Title: Apparatus applying static or varying magnetic fields across electronic equipment
Inventor: CURTIS MERVYN STANLEY
IPC: H01F7/02
Filed: 2012-04-12
Abstract: The apparatus seeks to improve the performance of audio, video and other electronic equipment 2 by applying an external magnetic field 7 across the equipment with the aim of improving the equipments performance. The field may be sufficiently strong to swamp residual magnetism in components 5, 6 of the equipment 2 that may exist and may help to align all magnetic domains in the same direction. At least two permanent magnets 3 or electromagnets with opposite poles facing Further one or more bodies 8 of a material of high electrical conductivity may also absorbed or dissipate current generated fields. The magnets may arrange the field to be vertical or horizontal (fig 3). One embodiment uses substantially planar assemblies which may comprise a single permanent magnet 3 or an array and may also use magnetic materials 13 of various shapes (figs 4,5 9 to 14) to spread and widen the magnetic field. An alternative arrangement is shown in figure 6 where the magnetic assemblies are provided at a localised position inside the equipment housing. Further embodiments instead use electro-magnets which may be driven with DC current or AC current at preferably above 50kHz. The idea may also be applicable to directing a magnetic field across wires or cables as figures 11 and 12 show. Other equipment that may be used with the invention include a projector (fig 13) and satellite receiver LNB (fig 14).

Title: Wireless low noise block down converter (LNB)
Inventor: MAHJOUB AHMED TAJELSIR
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2012-11-01
Abstract: The wireless low noise block down converter (LNB, LNC or LND) comprises a wireless transceiver unit, antenna 15, power source interface 11, 23, plus an Ethernet console port 19. The communication process starts with an end user channel request made through a digital receiver (18, Figure 3); the requested channel is encapsulated with MAC address and then modulated with a radio channel for wireless transmission using the WLAN standard IEEE 802.11, received at the LNB side. Requested channels are separated (demodulated) from the transmitted radio signal. The LNB obtains requested channel information from the satellite dish and sends it back using the same wireless transmission method. Referring to the TCPI/IP network Model, MAC address technology identifies each signal (digital receiver) request so the exact digital receiver gets its required channel information. As claimed, the system comprises: an LNB integrated with a wireless transceiver or unit, replacing coaxial cable, e.g. via an antenna; provision of an electricity connection to the LNB so it gets its power supply from a direct source; and an Ethernet console added to the LNB to enable wireless features configurations.
