By using this approach, where a different relationship, mapping, function or lookup table is used to derive the transport block size for the secondary stream to that relationship, mapping or function used to derive the transport block size for the primary stream from the grant of the primary stream enables different transport block sizes to be used, each of which may be appropriate to its associated stream. | 03-05-2015 |
20150146811 | MULTIPLE-INPUT-MULTIPLE-OUTPUT (MIMO) COMMUNICATION - A method for supporting multiple-input-multiple-output communications, user equipment and a computer program product are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: determining whether an amount of data available for transmission that is greater than a maximum capacity of one the plurality of streams is below an associated threshold amount of at least another of the plurality of streams; and if so, preventing transmission of at least one of the plurality of streams. This helps to ensure that a stream is only used for transmission when the residual data is sufficient to warrant its use.

The wireless telecommunications network node method comprises on a failure to establish a connection after initiating a RACH procedure, repeatedly transmitting a RACH preamble signature using a defined set of resource blocks of an uplink channel. In this way, when a conventional RACH procedure fails to establish a connection with the network, a modified RACH procedure is instead initiated. This modified RACH procedure transmits a RACH preamble signature repeatedly using a repeating set of resource blocks which are repeatedly allocated from the uplink channel. This enables the RACH preamble signature to be repeatedly transmitted so that the energy from these repeated transmissions may be combined by the network in order to detect the presence of the RACH preamble signature transmitted by network nodes in a poor coverage area such as, for example, an MTC device located in a basement. | 12-10-2015 |

20130242842 | RADIO INTERFACE COMMON RECONFIGURATION - A method of requesting a radio interface common reconfiguration, a base station, a method of performing a radio interface common reconfiguration, user equipment and computer program products are disclosed. The method of requesting a radio interface common reconfiguration to be made by each of a group of user equipment from within a plurality of user equipment being supported by a base station in a multi-carrier wireless communications system comprises the steps of: determining the radio interface common reconfiguration to be made by each of the group of user equipment; encoding the radio interface common reconfiguration in a payload field of an high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) order; encoding, in the HS-SCCH order, an indication associating the HS-SCCH order with the group of user equipment; and transmitting the HS-SCCH order to the plurality of user equipment being supported by the base station. Hence, a single message can be sent to a group of user equipment to cause that group of user equipment to make a common reconfiguration of their radio interface which reduces the amount of time taken to perform the reconfiguration and minimises the amount of resources utilised to effect the reconfiguration. | 09-19-2013 |

20100046767 | Wireless Headset Noise Exposure Dosimeter - Systems and methods for measuring noise exposure associated with use of a wireless headset are presented. In one example, a transition from a wireless headset standby mode operation to a wireless headset active mode operation is identified. A stored noise dose measurement at the wireless headset is recalled, and a current noise dose measurement is calculated at the wireless headset for a duration of the active mode operation. A transition from the wireless headset active mode operation to the wireless headset standby mode operation is identified, and an updated noise dose measurement is recorded at the wireless headset. | 02-25-2010 |

20090123153 | PHASE SHIFT KEYED HIGH SPEED SIGNALING - Fiber optic transmission technologies that allow DPSK or even higher order PSK to be performed at 20 gigabits per second per channel or even higher bit rates in a WDM (e.g., DWDM) wavelength multiplexed channeling environment. The technology employs pre-compensation of chromatic error dispersion such for each of most, if not all, channels have a portion of minimum absolute accumulated dispersion that occurs somewhere within the length (perhaps at the mid-point) of the optical channel. Post-compensation is then employed at the receiver to reduce or even potentially eliminate the chromatic dispersion. The technology allows for reduced bit error rates at high bit rates over even very long haul (e.g., trans-oceanic submarine or long terrestrial) optical fiber links, and for all channels. | 05-14-2009 |

20080209438 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A SERVICE CONTROL LAYER - This invention relates to a method, system and computer program product for managing a service message in a service oriented architecture system including a service provider, a service consumer and a set of control services, the method, system and computer program product comprising the following steps: receiving a service message; selecting a group of rules from a set of rule groups depending on the type of service message; selecting a control service from a set of control services and instructing the selected control service according to one or more of the rules from the selected rules group applied to the service message. | 08-28-2008 |
20090144060 | System and Method for Generating a Web Podcast Service - Disclosed is a system and method for generating a web podcast interview that allows a single user to create his own multi-voices interview from his computer. The method allows the user to enter a set of questions from a text file using a text editor. (Answers may also be entered from a text file although this is not the more preferred embodiment.) For each question, the user may select one particular interviewer voice among a plurality of predefined interviewer voices, and by using a text-to-speech module in a text-to-speech server, each question is converted into an audio question having the selected interviewer voice. Then, the user preferably records answers to each audio question using a telephone. And a questions/answers sequence in a podcast compliant format is generated. | 06-04-2009 |

20090144428 | Method and Apparatus For Multimodal Voice and Web Services - This invention is based on being able to locate a voice server, temporarily allocate it, send it the audio of you saying “When is flight 683 due to arrive?”, getting the results of what you said back in the browser, and deallocating the voice server for use by the next person talking into their browser. Voice channels and IVR ports are initially set up by a switch and the IVR using conventional audio protocols. The Voice channels are not initially connected to the client. The switch handles the allocation and deallocation of IVR voice channels without having to communication further with the IVR. A user indicates (usually by pressing a PTT button) to the client device that he wishes to initiate a voice interaction during an X+V session. This translates to a request on the CTRL channel to synchronise the XHTML and VXML forms which the embodiment uses as a trigger for the VXML browser to execute a conversational turn. The multiplexer intercepts this control command and connects the virtual voice circuit between the device and an existing open but unattached voice port. The virtual circuit is connected without having to set up an RTP channel. The CTRL signal is then forwarded to the interaction manager so that the conversation can take place. At the end of the conversation the virtual circuit is disconnected. | 06-04-2009 |
