摘要:
Apparatus and method for providing and receiving media programming information include providing programming package information comprising attributes of a package of media presentation channels. Further, a subscription characteristic is defined that determines an ability to subscribe to the package and to present the programming package information on a device. The device operates to compare the subscription characteristic with device-related subscription information. A subscription is allowed and/or the programming package information is presented on the device based on a predetermined relationship between the subscription characteristic and the device subscription information.

A media access control (MAC) layer controller can manage base layer data and enhancement layer data in a layered modulation system. The MAC layer controller can process both base layer data and enhancement layer data and map the encoded symbols to a layered modulation constellation when both are present. If data for one of the layers terminates, then the MAC layer controller can generate and supply predetermined stuffing data to the layer lacking additional data. The MAC layer controller can send a control signal to the physical layer hardware to cause the hardware to map the layered signals having the stuffing data to a modified signal constellation. The MAC controller can also generate an overhead message that indicates the occurrence of the stuffing data. The receiver can receive the overhead message and can use the information to configure the receiver for the layered modulation constellation or the modified signal constellation.

Shared secret data is used to authenticate and encrypt between a CDMA network and a GSM network such that a mobile station having a subscription in a GSM network can roam into a CDMA network and be authenticated to use the CDMA network and have messages encrypted without having a CDMA subscription. The goal of authenticating a GSM subscriber in a CDMA network using GSM authentication credentials is achieved by substituting a key Kc as SSD-A and messages are encrypted substituting Kc as SSD-B using a CAVE algorithm.

A wireless communication method and corresponding apparatus for modifying a subscription is described, the method comprising wirelessly receiving subscription information describing a plurality of program packages and relationships between the program packages, the relationships including at least a first reference from a first program package including at least a first service to a second program package including at least the first service and a second service, the first reference indicating that a subscription to the first program package is required prior to the second program package being determined as available for subscription, determining the set of program packages available for selection based on the relationships between the packages, displaying the set of program packages determined to be available for selection and allowing a selection of one or more displayed packages from the set, wherein the subscription is modified as a result of the selection. As well as the corresponding method an apparatus for providing the subscription information is described.

Provided is a method and system for determining sleep periods within a communications device configured to communicate via a network. The method includes analyzing at least one of two or more data fields related to a data unit and determining device sleep periods based upon the analysis. The analysis includes determining whether or not particular MediaFLO Logical Channel data (MLC) is present within an overhead information symbols channel. If MLC data is not present, the device sleeps for a predetermined amount of time.

This disclosure describes techniques for adjusting encoding variables of an encoding device. In response to a request to resize a segment of data, an encoding module adjusts at least one encoding variable used to encode one or more subsequent segments of data such that the subsequent segments of data are encoded at a bit rate that is different than the bit rate at which the subsequent segments of data would have been encoded had there been no request to resize. At some point, the encoding module re adjusts the encoding variables used to encode the segments of data such that the subsequent segments of data are encoded to achieve a desired encoding result. For example, the encoding module may re adjust the encoding variables after a period of time or may incrementally adjust the encoding variables until the encoding variables result in achieving the desired encoding result.

A system for distributing packages and channels to a device includes associating weights with the packages and channels. The default ordering of packages on a device display and the default ordering of channels on a program guide is determined according to the weights. In addition, the weights may be used to differentiate functions and conditions that apply to packages and channels.
