An exemplary technique is provided for operating a vehicle mountable controller that is mounted to a vehicle and used to control at least a part of the vehicle's operation. The vehicle mountable controller may be used as a network element in a computer network. An idle controller resource of the vehicle mountable controller is provided for remote processing to the computer network. The technique includes determining an operating mode of the vehicle in which the vehicle mountable controller is mounted, and performing a test to determine whether to use the vehicle mountable controller as a network element in the computer network based on the operating mode of the vehicle at a time that the test is performed.

Method, a vehicle mountable controller and a device for operating a vehicle mountable controller in a computer network

The invention concerns a method for performing frequency selective control channel scheduling in networks using an OFDM spectrum, whereby a base station (BS-BS) broadcasts on at least one predefined subcarrier which is known to all mobile terminals (T-T) a signaling information common to all mobile terminals (T-T) indicating the position of at least one subcarrier of at least one frequency selective shared control channel and at least one identification of at least one addressed mobile terminal, the base station (BS-BS) sends signaling information for said at least one addressed mobile terminal at the indicated position of said at least one subcarrier of said at least one frequency selective shared control channel, and at least one mobile terminal (T-T) measures at least one subcarrier of said at least one frequency selective shared control channel for channel quality estimation, a base station (BS-BS), a mobile terminal (T-T) and a network (CN) therefor.

A circuit arrangement for an LVDS driver, which uses combined bipolar and MOSFET technology with at least two MOSFETs, is shown, wherein a multiplier circuit is connected to an output stage of the LVDS driver and the multiplier circuit is controlled by means of an automatic control circuit, which generates control signals for controlling a current source of the multiplier circuit and for controlling the amplification factor of differential input signals of the multiplier circuit. Advantages of the invention are that it enables said technology, in which semi-conductor components are used in bipolar techniques (e.g. NPN and/or PNP transistors) (as well as MOS technology), to take advantage of the high speed of the bipolar elements compared with MOS elements.
