A Small Cell Network in which a terminal (1) is simultaneously served by a macro cell (10) and one or more small cells (20, 22, 24). When suitable uplink resources are not provided for data (PUSCH), the terminal (1) selects a cell and/or resource on which to transmit a scheduling request, or if no resource is allocated for scheduling requests (SR) the invention allows the terminal to select a suitable uplink cell and/or signature for a random access transmission (PRACH), and/or characteristic of a signal used to request such resources. A RACH transmission may also take place if SR has been transmitted more than a defined number of times without PUSCH resources being granted. Use of the most appropriate cell/resource for the request will improve the achievable data rate and system capacity.

Communication traffic associated with one or more mobile terminals is monitored to efficiently manage allocated radio resources. A rate management technique dynamically adjusts allocated radio resources to increase or decrease the data rate capacity of allocated radio channels based on actual channel usage. In this manner, radio resources are more efficiently utilized because the amount of excess capacity allocated to individual subscribers is reduced. Monitoring communication traffic may also be used to determine whether additional radio channel resources are allocated to a given subscriber. For example, in a cdma2000 radio access network, subscribers are typically allocated fundamental radio channels and then assigned supplemental channels to access higher data rate services. By monitoring fundament channel traffic characteristics, such as the queue length or packet size of outgoing packet data, the radio access network can determine whether supplemental channel allocation is warranted.

The coils are positioned within the dongle and mounting component so that they are aligned for their inductive coupling when the dongle and mounting component are mated. The positioning and alignment of the coils provides a substantially closed magnetic path between the coils. The mounting component may be a receptacle.

To eliminate the disadvantage that determination of the alignment marks becomes difficult also in the case in which the peripheral area of the wafer is provided with alignment marks, a wafer, with a surface provided with alignment marks, and with a peripheral area provided with a singularly shaped point and to which a photoresist has been applied, is placed on a rotary stage and the edge position of the wafer and the singularly shaped point, such as a notch or the like, is determined by a device for determination of the singularly shaped point and the edge position. Based on the position information of the alignment marks formed in the wafer and based on the singularly shaped point and the edge position, a control element computes the positions of the alignment marks of the wafer which was seated on the rotary stage. Based on the above described computation result, the area which is irradiated with the exposure light and the positions of the alignment marks on the wafer are brought into agreement with one another. In this way, the photoresist which has been applied to the alignment marks is exposed. This exposure is carried out for each formation of a pattern on the substrate and thus the film formed on the alignment marks is eliminated.
