Title: Extended dynamic resource allocation in packet data transfer
Inventor: BEARD TIMOTHY GILES
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: A method for control of packet data transmissions in a TDMA network is provided for additional choices in the allocation of communication channels. The usual fixed relationship in the timing of downlink allocation signalling and subsequent uplink transmission is altered for certain classes of mobile stations to avoid physical constraints e.g. concerning time for measurements of adjacent cell signal levels, or to switch between receive and transmit states. Examples of variations in USF signalling in GPRS using 8 slots on up- and down-link, separated by a tree slot delay, are given. For example, normally, the USF is sent in slot 0, which means that following a two slot gap to allow for receive transmit switching, allocation of five uplink slots would not allow time for switching back to receive in time for the next USF (Figure 3). By signalling that the USF in slot 1 indicates to begin transmission in slot 1 of the next frame, time spacing allows both switching stages to be accomplished (Figure 4). The invention relates to application of the method to a base station.

Title: Voltage source inverter output voltage error compensation
Inventor: CARTER ROBERT
IPC: H02P23/03
Filed: 2006-10-03
Abstract: An electrical device such as a motor is controlled by means of a pulse width modulator (PWM) inverter. Errors in output voltage due to switching dead time and conduction losses are compensated by measuring the inverter voltage output over a full pulse period; comparing it with a demand voltage to determine an error and applying compensation to the voltage output of the inverter dependent on said error. Compensation may be applied to the inverter by lengthening or shortening the periods of the voltage pulse from the inverter. The output may be integrated over, and synchronised with, one or more PWM periods. The output may be measured using a counter, a DC link voltage and sigma delta analogue to digital conversion. The demand voltage may similarly be determined by counting the logic level of the PWM output stage, over the same time period as the output voltage is measured.
