Title: Gerhard Hierl: Innovator in Telecommunications
Introduction
Gerhard Hierl is a notable inventor based in Nuremberg, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of telecommunications, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing mobile device functionality and efficiency.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a radio resource control technique. This technique provides a method for controlling the duty cycle of a transmitter in a mobile device. When connected to a telecommunications network, the mobile device can utilize discontinuous reception and transmission through a duty cycle that includes both active and inactive states. The method involves determining a switching option to initiate the inactive state after the active state. It assesses whether a timer triggers a future transmission at a corresponding time. If the time difference between the switching option and the transmission timer exceeds a predefined minimum duration, the inactive state is initiated.
Another significant patent is a technique for uplink data processing. This technique allocates uplink data volume to pending uplink data for transmission in a telecommunications device. The method aspect includes receiving a grant of the uplink data volume. A portion of this granted volume is reserved for a buffer status report, which is provided by the Data Link layer of the telecommunications device. The size of the buffer status report depends on the number of channels with pending uplink data. If the unreserved portion of the granted uplink data volume is insufficient for the pending data, both the unreserved and a part of the reserved portion are allocated to the pending uplink data, ensuring efficient data transmission.
