Title: Delivering a personalised file from a content provider to a client
Inventor: SEDEFFOW PETER VASSILEV
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2010-09-08
Abstract: A request from a client to access a file is received at a content provider. A common file that is common to all requesting clients is identified in a first storage location. In a second storage location a personalised file that is unique to said client (based on e.g. client age, device type etc.) is identified. The common file and personalised file are analysed to find their differences. The shared data and the unique data are delivered to the client and the client is instructed to combine the shared data and the unique data together to form the personalized file. This method saves bandwidth at the storage location of the personalised file, since only the differences are transmitted from that location.

Title: Method of improving navigation satellite system solution
Inventor: TUCK DAVID
IPC: G01C21/30
Filed: 2011-04-15
Abstract: The present invention is related to position calculation and navigation systems, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for making accuracy improvements to a GPS receiver's navigation solutions. According to a first aspect, selective cartography information from a map database accessed by a GPS receiver from a location-aiding device is integrated into the position calculations performed by the GPS receiver. The method considers attributes of the map, such as road locations, and uses these to improve the displayed location, on way by using a snap-to-road function. Other attributes that could be used to aide in the accuracy improvement could be other geographical objects, such as, a width-indicator index for a road segment. The location aiding device could be one of either a remote server or an on-board computer external to the navigation device.

Title: Handling a communication to a user equipment in a cellular wireless network
Inventor: ZISIMOPOULOS HARIS
IPC: H04W8/26
Filed: 2011-05-31
Abstract: User apparatus 2 in a cellular wireless network 14 comprises a user equipment 4 having a first network interface 6 comprising a radio transceiver 8 for communicating via the cellular wireless network 14. The radio transceiver 8 may be set to a first state or to a second state. The user apparatus 2 has a second network interface 10 to a second network 16. A call to the user apparatus 2 is handled by detecting, via the second network interface 10, a request to receive a communication and dependent on the detection of the request via the second network interface 10, switching the radio transceiver 8 to the second state. The communication is then received at the user equipment 4 via the radio transceiver 8. As a result, the user equipment may receive the communication via the cellular wireless network without the need for the user equipment to be continuously camped on the cellular wireless network, so that the cellular wireless network may reduce provisioning of network resources and so reduce power consumption. The communication may relate to a call or a text message and the transition to the second state may be delayed according to user preferences. The second network may be WiFiRTM, DECT or wired.

Title: Identifying interference in a heterogeneous wireless network
Inventor: QUADRI SADIA
IPC: H04B1/10
Filed: 2012-01-20
Abstract: A method of identifying interference in a heterogeneous network comprises detecting an increase in a packet error rate (PER) S310 in a wireless connection between a first base station and a first wireless device, comparing a reference signal power (RSRP) received by the first wireless device from the first base station with a threshold value S320, and determining that the increase in error rate is due to interference from a wireless connection between a second base station and a second wireless device if the reference signal power is greater than the threshold S330. Signal strength in the network may be reduced in response to the interference. If the reference signal power is less than the threshold, then the increase in error rate is attributed to channel losses S340 and the bit rate of the connection between the first base station and first wireless device is decreased, e.g. by reducing the modulation coding scheme (MCS).

Title: Switch arrangement and apparatus
Inventor: ROUSU SEPPO
IPC: H04B1/00
Filed: 2013-04-15
Abstract: A switch arrangement 82 is described which enable the design of a flexible front end allowing many individual and combinations of frequency band allocations to share a single antenna simultaneously. The switch arrangement provides a single pole switch for each set of band specific filtering. The band specific filtering 86, 90 is connected to the pole 84, 88 of a respective single pole switch. Each single pole switch has multiple contact points 92, 94, 96 enabling both direct connection to an antenna switch 72 and connection to the antenna switch through a frequency division multiplexer such as a diplexer 74. At least two of the switches have contact points 92 connected to the same filtered terminal 78 of the frequency division multiplexer. This could be achieved by sharing a contact point between the two switches. This allows sharing of the antenna by two or more frequency band allocations to enable simultaneous use of different radio access technologies, MIMO or Carrier Aggregation through a single antenna. When not required the frequency selective component can be switched out of the signal path to reduce insertion loss.

Abstract: ManagementÂ Of Threads WithinÂ a Computing Environment Threads of a computing environment are managed to improve system performance. Threads are migrated between processors to take advantage of single thread processing mode, when possible. As an example, inactive threads are migrated from one or more processors, potentially freeing-up one or more processors to execute an active thread. Active threads are migrated from one processor to another to transform multiple threading mode processors to single thread mode processors.
