Abstract:
A system and method for power control and scheduling of sub-carriers in an OFDM communication system. The receiver dynamic range can be minimized by a power control loop that attempts to maintain received power over a noise floor in a predetermined range. If the received power relative to a noise floor in allocated sub-carriers exceeds the predetermined range and the total received power is at the minimum, the scheduling system allocates an additional sub-carrier to the communication link. Additionally, if the received power relative to the noise floor is less than the predetermined range minimum, and the total received power is at a maximum, the scheduling system de-allocates a sub-carrier from the communication link. The scheduling system may also adjust an encoding rate to maintain a relatively constant symbol rate in each sub-carrier.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system which is for a legacy device compatible with the IEEE802.11a specification and the 802.11g specification for a wireless LAN (WLAN) and prevents "stomping" of MIMO packets by starting transmission of a subsequent MIMO packet before completing a preceding MIMO packet.SOLUTION: A time-division training pattern for MIMO packets is provided. In this pattern, a first antenna can transmit a short symbol, a first long symbol, and then a SIGNAL symbol in this order. A second antenna can transmit a second long symbol after the transmission of the legacy SIGNAL symbol. The first and second antennas can transmit SIGNAL symbols (associated with MIMO data) substantially simultaneously after transmission of the second long symbol. The invention allows a legacy device to decode the length of a MIMO packet and refrain from the transmission during the period of the MIMO packet.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manage key material.SOLUTION: A method for handoff between a first access node and a second access node in a communications network comprises the steps of: receiving a handoff request from a mobile terminal by the second access node; transmitting a session context request by the second access node to the first access node; transmitting session context information from the first access node to the second access node; extracting an encrypted session key from the received session context information by the second access node; decrypting the encrypted session key with a key associated with a security association between the second access node and a security node of the communications network; encrypting at least part of a message with the decrypted session key for transmission of the message to the mobile terminal; and transmitting the message to the mobile terminal.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a decentralized computing system in which a server computer continuously generates a data stream.SOLUTION: There is provided with a computer system including a data receiver which receives data of an item, currently provided for sale, including information for displaying or explaining the item and an item identifier from a server; a data processing system which presents at least part of data of the item to a user; event detection means of detecting a control event associated with one action to be made by the user; and an event processing module which extracts personal information on the user from a permanent memory of a client, putting together data of an item received before from the server through the data stream and personal information on the user previously stored in the permanent memory of the client, generating and transmitting an order for the item, and responding.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a further appropriate resource utilization method in an MBMS.SOLUTION: This invention includes a wireless access network and a method for transmitting multimedia broadcasts/multicast services (MBMS) using channel switching. The channel switching is between dedicated and shared/common channels. The invention also includes MBMS reception scheduling for use when a wireless transmitter/receiver receives an MBMS service from multiple transmission sources. The transmission sources transmitting the MBMS services service data in differing orders. One embodiment uses in-band segmentation information and another embodiment uses out-of-band synchronization information.
