Moreover, during 2007, <strong>CTTC</strong> has submitted to OEPM<br />

(Oficina Española de Patentes y Marcas) and to EPO three<br />

additional PCT patents related to other research and<br />

development activities carried out in the center.<br />

The first one, promoted by the inventors M. Portolés, A.<br />

Krendzel, J. Mangues, defines a method to characterize<br />

the capacity of a wireless node and to detect the activity<br />

of other nearby wireless nodes when implementing a<br />

distributed access communication protocol.<br />

The second patent, authored by N. Zorba, A. Perez describes<br />

a method for allocating a minimum downlink power<br />

from a transmitter of a cellular multi-user multi-antenna<br />

<strong>communications</strong> system. This amount of power depends<br />

on the channel interference and on a predetermined<br />

quality of service requirement per user.<br />

Finally, the third patent, promoted by the inventors N. Zorba,<br />

M Realp, A. Perez, is a signal processing scheme for wide<br />

band <strong>communications</strong> systems using satellite channels.<br />

This scheme takes advantage of the information of the<br />

antenna radiation diagram. By using this information, the<br />

signal is processed before its transmission, improving the<br />

performance of the system.<br />
