For example, a file is divided into blocks to be sent between the nodes. A node receiving a block keeps a record of the received blocks and sends that record to the sending node at certain times. By controlling the times at which the records are sent the number of messages that need to be sent to transfer the records is low and the blocks are transferred in an efficient manner. | 2010-02-04 |
| 20100027589 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ESTIMATING NOISE VARIENCE - The invention is directed towards a method and apparatus for estimating a noise variance in a receiver of a code multiplex telecommunications system with orthogonal spreading codes, wherein respective real and imaginary parts of a sum and a difference of two estimated symbols having substantially same amplitudes are determined, and then respective minimum energy components of the determined real and imaginary parts of the sum and difference are determined. The respective minimum energy components are finally combined to obtain the noise variance. Thereby, noise variance can be estimated simply based on addition and comparison operations, which reduces complexity and processing load. | 2010-02-04 |
| 20100027590 | MODIFIED SIR VALUES FOR FAST POWER CONTROL - The present invention relates to a receiver comprising a fast power control unit, said fast power control unit being arranged to continuously control a quality measure of a radio channel. The receiver is characterized in that the quality measure is a modified Signal to Interference plus noise ratio (SIR) in which the influence from self interference has been removed. The invention further relates to a method for continuously controlling a quality measure of a radio channel, wherein a modified Signal to Interference plus noise ratio (SIR) is continuously determined in which the influence from self interference has been removed. | 2010-02-04 |
| 20100027591 | POSITIONING SIGNAL RECEPTION DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD OF POSITIONING SIGNAL RECEPTION DEVICE - A positioning signal reception device receives a positioning signal transmitted from a position information satellite, and includes: a signal reception portion that obtains a reception signal by receiving the positioning signal; an A/D conversion portion that generates a digital signal by converting the reception signal into a digital form; a filter portion that subjects the digital signal to frequency separation, a characteristic of the filter portion being changeable; a filter characteristic change portion that changes the characteristic of the filter portion according to an operating state of the positioning signal reception device and an external environmental condition of the positioning signal reception device; and a code synchronization establishment portion that establishes synchronization of spreading codes contained in the reception signal. | 2010-02-04 |
