A telecommunications network performs an inter-frequency hard handover for a connection with a user equipment unit (UE) by switching either from a cell or a current active set of base stations on a first frequency to a virtual active set of base stations on another (new) frequency. The inter-frequency hard handover can be an inter-frequency handover within a same system, or an inter-system handover. The virtual active set of base stations is maintained at the user equipment unit (UE), and is updated in accordance with one of several updating implementations of the invention. In a first mode of the invention for implementing virtual active set updates, the network authorizes the user equipment unit (UE) to report to the network the occurrence of certain network-specified events which are acted upon by the network for communicating virtual active set update information to the user equipment unit (UE). In a second mode of the invention, the network authorizes the user equipment unit (UE) to perform an autonomous virtual active set update upon occurrence of certain network-specified events, with inter-frequency events being reported from the equipment unit (UE) to the network and the network issuing an inter-frequency handover command. Advantageously, events which trigger intra-frequency measurements can be reused for reporting inter-frequency measurements. In another of its aspects, the present invention provides the network with a quality estimate for a current active set as well as a quality estimate for the virtual active set. The quality estimate can be utilized in a context of a handover from one UTRAN frequency to another UTRAN frequency, or even in the context of an inter-system handover (e.g., a handover between a UTRAN system and a GSM system, for example). The quality estimate can be utilized to trigger a change or switch of frequencies / systems. Certain thresholds employed in the quality estimate-utilizing handovers provide hysteresis protection.

An audio fingerprinting system and method. A server receives an audio fingerprint of a first audio piece, searches a database for the audio fingerprint, retrieves an audio profile vector associated with the audio fingerprint, updates user preference information based on the audio profile vector, and selects a second audio piece based on the user preference information. The audio fingerprint is generated by creating a matrix based on the frequency measurements of the audio piece, and performing a singular value decomposition of the matrix. To expedite the search of the database and to increase matching accuracy, a subset of candidates in the database is identified based on the most prominent musical notes of the audio piece, and the search is limited to the identified subset. One of the attributes of the audio profile vector is a particular audio class. An identifier for the audio class is generated based on an average of audio fingerprints of the audio pieces belonging to the audio class.

A method of performing a cell reselection procedure in a wireless communication system includes evaluating priorities of a serving cell and neighbor cells, each of which use different frequency bands, performing inter-frequency measurement on a neighbor cell which has a higher priority than the serving cell, performing the inter-frequency measurement on a neighbor cell which has an equal or lower priority than the serving cell, when a signal characteristic of the serving cell is less than a threshold, and performing cell reselection according to the priorities.

A framework for the cell reselection and associated measurement behavior is proposed based on a state in which a UE is camped on the cell. If the UE is ‘camped in any cell state’, inter-frequency and / or inter-RAT measurements are prioritized over intra-frequency measurements. The proposed scheme helps the UE to find a suitable cell while in the camped on any cell state. If the UE subscribes to specific frequencies, separate measurement rules are implemented to aid the UE to find and camp on the preferred frequencies. The proposed scheme also considers access related information in addition to radio quality to help the UE in making cell selections thereby mitigating the UE from camping on restricted cells. Such aspects minimize situations wherein users are limited due to the service provided by an operator.

A user equipment (UE) is provide which reduces uplink signaling overhead in the process of reporting inter-frequency measurement results over a RACH. For measurement reporting, the UE receives an SIB including a cell information list for non-used frequency cells and a threshold from an RNC, compares signal strengths of signals received from the non-used frequency cells with the threshold, and acquires at least one inter-frequency cell ID indicating at least one non-used frequency cell having signal strength exceeding the threshold from the cell information list. The at least one inter-frequency cell ID is included in a RACH message as measurement result information for the at least one non-used frequency cell, and transmitted to the RNC. The RNC determines that the cell corresponding to the inter-frequency cell ID has signal strength exceeding the threshold.

In a mobile communication system (T1) a time interval selection means (TISM) in a network control means (RNC) determines a time interval and sends an indication about this time interval to a subscriber station (MS) in a time interval indication signal. A time interval signal determining means (TISDM) in the subscriber station (MS) detects the time interval and an IF measurement means (IFMM) carries out inter-frequency / inter-system measurements in the detected time interval specified by the network control means (RNC). In this time interval the temporary reduction of the quality of service QoS on the communication connection (CC) is planed by the network control means (RNC). However, independent as to whether a delay-sensitive or loss-sensitive data transmission is carried out, the network control means (RNC) can make provisions in order to compensate the temporary reduction of the quality of service. Such procedure is superior to performing IF measurements in an idle time interval of a compressed time slot in which a temporary degradation of the quality of service must always be accepted due to a compressed mode of operation.

The invention provides a method and system for collecting aggregate information about network traffic, while maintaining processor load relatively constant despite substantial variation in network traffic, and capable of substantially accurate frequency measurement even for relatively infrequent events. A packet monitoring system includes an input port for receiving network packets, a sampling element for selecting a fraction of those packets for review, and a queue of selected packets.

The system can detect packets of multiple selected types essentially simultaneously, and provide measured frequencies and error ranges for all of the multiple selected types at once. Also, the measurement technique is selected so as to impose relatively light processor load per packet.

The invention provides a frequency measurement method based on an FPGA. A standard reference clock is adopted to count the number of pulses of a measured signal in a unit time (1s) and the number of the pulses of the measured signal in the unit time (1s) is the frequency of the signal. Due to the fact that the starting moment of a gate and the finishing moment of the gate are random for the signal, a pulse period quantization error can be produced, and measurement accuracy needs to be analyzed further: the pulse period of a signal to be measured is set to be Tx, the frequency is set to be Fx, and when the measuring time T equals to 1s, the measurement accuracy & meets the equation that &=Tx / T=1 / Fx. The fact that measurement accuracy in a direct frequency measurement method is relevant to the frequency of the signal is known, the higher the frequency of the signal to be measured is, the higher the measurement accuracy is, and otherwise, the lower the frequency of the signal to be measured is, the lower the measurement accuracy is. The direct frequency measurement method is only suitable for measurement of the signal at the higher frequency and can not meet the demand that the measurement accuracy remains unchanged in the whole measurement frequency band. In order to overcome the defect of inaccuracy in low-frequency-band measurement, gating signals and the measured signal are used for carrying out dual control on enable signals of the counter, and therefore accuracy is improved.

For measuring a laser frequency electronic signals can be generated by means of optical interferometers, especially Michelson, Mach-Zehnder and Fabry-Perot interferometers. These signals present profiles with a variation of the laser frequency which are practically identical but shifted in phase by 90°. It is common to generate such phase-shifted signals for frequency measurement in various systems, e.g. by means of a sigmameter, which present, however, disadvantages on account of the great number of the necessary high-quality optical components. The inventive method is based on the analysis of transmission and reflection signals of a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) wherein the signals are obtained from two component beams (PBA and PBB) which are passed through slightly different path lengths within the interferometer. These differences in the length of the optical paths are so selected by different angles of incidence of the component beams into the Fabry-Perot interferometer or by an appropriate shape of the interferometer that the required 90° phase shift is adjusted between the detected intensity signals. From these signals electronic signals can be obtained for detection and also for a rapid correction of the laser frequency.
