Rich,

Actually, if Q paid NOK a small royalty outright, the discount to Q's normal rate would be tiny:

Q pays 2% on a $25 chip (help, I don't have the average numbers at my fingertips)

NOK pays 5% on a $150 phone (again, a guess; aren't they closer to $200?)

Even if Q paid NOK 5% for its chip patents, it would still be peanuts. What NOK probably wants are offsetting percentages.
