Title: Configuring a neighbour cell list containing parameters which have a common area of coverage linked together
Inventor: KILGOUR CHRISTOPHER EDWARD JOHN
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2012-09-12
Abstract: A network element such as a Radio Network Controller (RNC) (112) includes a store (114) containing a neighbour cell list, the neighbor cell list containing parameters relating to neighbor cells 201-204 wherein parameters of cells in the neighbour cell list which have a common area of coverage and which support radio access technologies different from one another are linked together. A signal processor (113) correlates measurement reports received by the RNC (112) from a user equipment (106) with the neighbour cell list to determine the identity of a cell in the cellular communication system (200). The invention has particular applicability to resolving the problem of Primary Scrambling Code (PSC) confusion where a repeating pattern of small cells lies underneath a macrocell. It facilitates identification of a cell 201Â­, 204 in a cellular communication system (200) and particularly a system which incorporates different radio access technologies. The parameters which are linked together comprise parameters representing codes. For example a PSC (used in 3G RAT) may be linked with a Training Sequence Code TSC (used in 2G RAT). Alternatively, the parameters which are linked together comprise parameters representing a code and a frequency. For example, a primary scrambling code (PSC) may be linked with a channel number.

Inventor: FURLONG JOHN JOSEPH
IPC: B29C41/14
Filed: 2014-09-05
Abstract: A method for making an ambidextrous working glove having textured inner and outer surfaces comprises dipping a former with a textured surface into a coagulant solution.
