METHOD OF CATEGORISING SPEED OF A TERMINAL SYSTEM AND APPARATUS THEREFOR
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of categorising speed of a terminal supported by a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
- monitoring a first factor potentially indicative of motion of the terminal;
monitoring a second factor associated with allocation of a radio-frequency resource used to support communication between the terminal and an element of a wireless communications network infrastructure, the second factor having a correlation with mobility of the terminal so as to provide a capacity to mitigate a non-mobility influence upon the first factor;
offsetting information corresponding to the second factor against information corresponding to the first factor.

Abstract
A method of categorising speed of a terminal (202) in a wireless communications network (116) comprises monitoring a first factor associated with allocation of a radio-frequency (RF) resource that is not related to mobility of the terminal (202). The first factor is then offset against a second factor, the second factor being potentially indicative of mobility of the terminal (202). The speed of the terminal (202) is then approximated using the result of offsetting the first factor against the second factor.

20. A terminal speed categorisation apparatus for categorising a speed of a terminal supported by a wireless communications network, the apparatus comprising:
-
an input arranged to receive information corresponding to a first factor potentially indicative of motion of the terminal and a second factor associated with allocation of an radio-frequency resource used to support, when in use, communication between the terminal and an element of the wireless communications network, the second factor having a weak or no correlation with mobility of the terminal; a processing resource arranged to offset, when in use, the information corresponding to the second factor against the information corresponding to the first factor. - View Dependent Claims (21)
