Title: Suppressing co-channel interference in dependence upon probabilities of establishing a link between a base station and a terminal via resource blocks
Inventor: LOGOTHETIS ANDREW
IPC: H04W16/10
Filed: 2010-10-04
Abstract: Each terminal of a plurality of network users is linked with a base station connected to a communications network, the links being established over a wireless resource comprising resource blocks. For each base station/terminal pair, a set of resource utilisation fractions is determined to indicate probabilities for establishing the link between that base station and that terminal via each of the resource blocks. A co-channel interference matrix is determined for each network component indicative of an expected interference from other network components when that network component receives network traffic via each of the resource blocks. The expected interference is probabilistically determined in dependence on the sets of resource utilisation fractions. In each network component, co-channel interference is suppressed in dependence on its co-channel interference matrix, and in each base station, links are dynamically established as required to handle network traffic by selecting from the resource blocks in accordance with the resource utilisation fractions.

Title: Specifying data occurrence in SOA based environments
Inventor: ABRAHAMS FARIED
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2012-06-13
Abstract: A method and system for specifying a data occurrence in a service-oriented architecture based environment. In particular the method defines a technique for specifying whether a data element of a service is optional or mandatory using information from the realization phase of the service in the development cycle. After a service specification phase of a service, a service interface is received and a service implementation is created. During a service realization phase, a data element of the service is determined to be sourced or not sourced by the service implementation. A data element being sourced by the service implementation is defined as a data element that is populated by the service implementation itself, whereas a data element not being sourced by the service implementation is defined as a data element populated by an application which consumes or invokes the service. If the data element is sourced, then the data element is determined to be optional. If the data element is not sourced, then the data element is determined to be mandatory. The data occurrence including an indication of whether the data element is optional or mandatory is displayed. The service specification phase is repeated and the service interface is modified based on the displayed data occurrence.
