The communication devices are configured to determine a difference in their clock frequencies and to communicate this difference with one another. Furthermore, each of the communication devices is configured to compensate for these differences before or after the timestamps are exchanged and to send a compensation indicator of whether the compensation has been performed. If the compensation has not been performed, either of the communication devices can compensate for the clock frequency differences after receiving the timestamps based on the compensation indicator. By using compensated clock frequencies based on a single clock reference, highly accurate ranging measurements are obtained using round trip propagation time calculations. | 2016-04-28 |
20160119890 | METHOD AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR OPERATING AT LEAST ONE APPARATUS THAT IS ARRANGED IN A BUILDING - A method operates at least one apparatus that is arranged in a building. The method involves producing a wireless connection between a communication unit of a motor vehicle and the apparatus, transmitting to the apparatus in a wireless manner by the communication unit data that define an operating mode of the apparatus, and operating the apparatus in dependence upon the data that are transmitted to the apparatus. The data are provided and synchronized with one another both by a central data processing device as well as by the communication unit. A control system can be used with the method. | 2016-04-28 |
20160119891 | ASYNCHRONOUS WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - The invention relates to an asynchronous wireless communication system, such as a UMTS system. The various base stations of an asynchronous wireless communication system do not typically have known timing offsets Tb(i), and these timing offsets vary with time. The invention allows the calculation of the difference dTb(i,j) between timing offsets Tb(i), Tb(j) for pairs of base stations B(i), B(j), using the timing of signals received by one or more wireless communication units. Having eliminated the timing offsets between the base stations as a variable, geo-location techniques from synchronous networks may then be used to locate wireless communication units in the asynchronous wireless communication system. | 2016-04-28 |
20160119892 | METHOD AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR STORING ADDRESS OF NETWORK ANCHOR POINT TO NETWORK SERVER - A method, apparatus and communication system for registering address information of a network anchor point to a network server are disclosed. A network apparatus, such as a mobility management entity, determines whether to register address information of a network anchor point to a network server, and registers the address information of the network anchor point to the network server when determining to do so. | 2016-04-28 |
