摘要:
A digital sync signal (502) is transmitted (702) from K transmitters (206) of a cluster (402), followed by K fine tuning signals (506) during K time slots (510), each time slot assigned to a transmitter. Each fine tuning signal comprises a pair of tones (512) separated in frequency by a predetermined amount. A portable subscriber unit (122) receives (706) the sync signal and the fine tuning signals, and makes (708) a rough estimate of the beginning of the fine tuning signals from the sync signal and from knowledge about the time slots. The portable subscriber unit computes (710) for each time slot a 2M-point Fourier transform (FT) on a received signal including M fine tuning signals received during the time slot from a transmitter of the cluster and from M-1 corresponding transmitters of adjacent clusters (404). The portable subscriber unit then fine tunes (722) the rough estimate through FT calculations.

A method for live patient tracking for surgical centers and hospitals is provided comprising tracking patient journey through a healthcare facility. The method also comprises overlying tracked journey data on patient surgical status data and visualizing the overlaid journey data and surgical status data on a display. Visualization of data is performed on the display of a TV screen, a tablet, a desktop computer, a tablet or a smartphone. The visualized data includes patient indoor location within the healthcare facility. Patient indoor location is performed by means of an indoor positioning system such as Real Time Location Service (RTLS) system.

A system and method for seamlessly increasing download throughput in a wireless wide area network (WWAN) device is herein disclosed. Remote file servers frequently impose per connection transfer limits upon host devices that are requesting files for download. In order to bypass these limitations, a WWAN device acting as a proxy server can replace a single file request with a series of independent requests over multiple connections, each requesting a separate portion of the original file. The blocks of requested data can then be reassembled at the WWAN device before being transferred to the device requesting the file. A user of the requesting device can therefore benefit from increased download rates, yet without having to download or install any additional software within the requesting device.

摘要:
A wireless communication system measures (602) a traffic load of ones of a plurality of fixed communication stations (102, 202) and transmits (606) from at least one of the stations information describing a location of the at least one of the stations and locations of nearby other stations, along with traffic loads corresponding to the stations. A portable communication unit (104) within communication range of the station conveys (608) the information, thereby assisting the user of the portable communication unit to find a fixed communication station having sufficient capacity available for handling a desired communication.
摘要:
A wireless messaging unit (122) determines (704) that a first channel (402), which utilizes a first plurality of time slots for transmission, does not have a signal suitable for acquiring synchronization; and, in response, attempts (706) to acquire an initial synchronization with a second channel (404) which periodically transmits a synchronization signal (406) in a second plurality of time slots having a predetermined timing relationship with the first plurality of time slots. After acquiring the initial synchronization, the wireless messaging unit applies (708) the predetermined timing relationship to the initial synchronization to establish a secondary synchronization with the first channel.
