A method for allocating radio resources in a wide band radio communication network for uplink communications, the network including cells, each having a base station and terminals, the method including during connection of a first terminal to a first base station of a first cell: performing reference signal quality measurements, defined respectively for the terminals of the cells by each base station, analyzing the interference detected from the first terminal on the uplink communications from the terminals connected to the base stations, the analysis being carried out as a function of the reference signal quality measurements, by each base station, allocating radio resources by the first base station for an uplink communication from the first terminal, as a function of the analysis results on detection of interference from the first terminal on the uplink communications from the other terminals of the cells, the results coming from each cell.

A half-duplex (HD), frequency division duplexing (FDD), method for wireless communication systems, implementing an uplink and downlink prioritization respectively for a HD-FDD type mobile communication terminal during a transition between a downlink (DL) sub-frame, labelled n, and an uplink (UL) sub-frame, labelled n+1, in order to avoid overlapping of said sub-frames. This method comprises a step of sending by a base station an allocation message, a step of receiving the allocation message by said terminal and a step of processing said allocation message by said terminal.

HD-FDD method and system with no overlapping between downlink and uplink subframes

The object of the present invention is a method for selecting a terminal of an HD-FDD duplexing model. The invention enables the complexity of a switch of a terminal operating in an HD-FDD duplexing mode, at a level equivalent to that of a terminal operating in a TDD or FDD duplexing mode, to be reduced. To do this, thanks to the invention, it is provided that the terminal operating in an HD-FDD duplexing mode receives notifications or information via a network that programs the HD-FDD terminals through different uplink and downlink transmission models illustrated in FIG.. It may also be provided that the terminal operating in an HD-FDD duplexing mode has knowledge of the HD-FDD model to use for its communication. In this event, the complexity of its communication is reduced to the same level as that of a terminal operating in TDD mode.

A telecommunications network, especially an LTE type network, is adapted to a change in configuration. The telecommunications network includes at least a first transmission device, of base station or transmission relay type, and a second transmission device, of base station or transmission relay type. There is no radio link in existence between the first transmission device and the second transmission device before the change in configuration. The process for change includes: detecting a change in the configuration of the telecommunications network; allocating radio resources in the communications frames of the first communications element for determination of the transmission quality with the second communications element; and establishing a radio link between the first transmission device and the second transmission device if the determined transmission quality is advantageous. The process is implemented by a telecommunications networking infrastructure and by a transmission device.

A method for defining a parameter value for controlling the transmission power of a set of user equipment served by a cell defined by a base station of a cellular telecommunication network, includes, for the base station, receiving, from the set of user equipment located in the cell, a set of attenuation values including, respectively by piece of equipment, an attenuation value of a signal transmitted by the base station and received by the piece of user equipment and, if the piece of user equipment is also located in a non-serving cell, an attenuation value of a signal transmitted by the base station of the non-serving cell and received by the piece of user equipment; determining, from the set of received attenuation values, a value of a parameter for controlling the transmission power; and sending, to the set of user equipment served by the cell, the value of the control parameter.

A method for setting a direct mode communication channel of a group of terminals in a wide band radiocommunication system, the setting of the channel being assisted by at least one base station at which terminals of the group are recorded, the method including transmitting a setting request to the base station by a terminal of the group recorded at said base station, setting a direct mode communication channel by the base station by allocating free resource blocks, transmitting a setting message by the base station to the terminals, and accessing direct mode communication channel by each of said terminals for directly communicating with the other terminals of the group.

Direct mode communication in a wideband radio communication system

Radio resources are dynamically allocated in a shared band communication system operating in direct mode (DMO). The communication system includes terminals organized in groups. Each group is allocated a resource from a number of resources available within the communication system. This process includes allocating to the group at least one other further resource from the number of resources until an attempted access to the further resource from the group to which the further resource had been allocated has been detected.

Method for asynchronously allocating a bandwidth, and an electronic communication device implementing this method

A battery sharing method to increase the service life of the batteries of PMR terminals having important uses, such as the terminal of the head of a group such as the police, firefighters, or the like, is disclosed. The technique is based on the detection of neighboring networks and/or neighboring nodes. The detection is facilitated by reiterating a selection (or reselection) of cells and a handover (HO)/vertical handover (VHO) procedure, while relaying and coordinating transmission and reception. The aim of the techniques is to improve communications as well as the duration thereof, in order to enable improved management of the battery of each terminal and to broaden coverage in areas that are not served by a network.

To provide a user equipment with a restricted access to network services in situation when authentication of the user equipment by means of a first shared secret, known only by the user equipment and an authentication center is not possible because of a system failure, the user equipment is authenticated by means of a second shared secret in an access point node, the authentication procedure being otherwise the same.

A first broadband network divided into sectors and a second narrowband network have collocated cells and a common wide frequency band. The interference produced by the first network on the second network is reduced for a carrier to interference ratio threshold allowable at the reception in the second network. For example, a base station (BS) in a given cell (C) of the first network attenuates by an attenuation parameter the emission power of each subcarrier which is adjacent to a carrier of one of the groups allocated to preselected cells (C) of the second network in a sector (S) of the given cell and on levels (Lto L) starting from the given cell (C). The attenuation parameter is low for a level close to the given cell.

A transmission of information is established between an emitting mobile terminal and at least one receiving mobile terminal of the same group of terminals pertaining to a shared-resource radiocommunication network operating in a direct mode includes the step of emitting by the emitting terminal of a transmission request to inform the other receiving terminals of the group of its intention to transmit information. Each receiving terminal of the group then determines whether, on the basis of at least one pre-defined selection strategy, it will accept the transmission of information. If it will, the receiving terminal transmits a return signal comprising data relating to the emitting terminal to the other terminals of the group. Then, the emitting terminal checks whether it respects the transmission conditions. If it does, the emitting terminal transmits the information to the other terminals in its group via at least one resource allocated to the group.
