摘要:
A method of enhancing a communication capability of a communication unit (112), operating in a communication system (100) that facilitates communication to and/or from a plurality of communication units. The method includes the step of operably coupling a first communication unit (112) to one or more neighboring communication units (114, 116) such that said communication unit is able to utilize at least one operational capability of one or more of its neighboring communication units to enhance communication to and/or from said first communication unit.

A satellite positioning system enabled mobile station and method therefor having a satellite positioning system signal reception interface, for example a GPS receiver, an information processor coupled to the satellite positioning system signal reception interface, the information processor controlling the satellite positioning system signal reception interface for receiving satellite positioning system signals upon which mobile station positioning may be determined based upon a satellite positioning system based position fix generation rate instruction.
摘要:
A wireless communication system (10) provides unsolicited content (40) to a wireless device (12) by using a network element (14) that contains logic circuitry that sends unsolicited content for the wireless device (12), without request by the wireless device (12) and during a non-peak period of operation of the wireless communication system (10). The network element (14) logs a billing event associated with the unsolicited content (40) in response to wireless device use indication data (42) that represents that the wireless device (12) used the unsolicited content (40) at a later time.
摘要:
A method for enabling hardware and software features in wireless communications devices including (610) receiving key information and applying it to the communications device. The key information specifies one or more features of the wireless communications device that are to be enabled or disabled. Features of the wireless communications device specified by the key information are enabled (640) or disabled upon applying the key information to the device. In some embodiments, information from multiple keys is required to enable features of the device.
摘要:
A method in a wireless communication device for tracking the location of the device using cookie files (104). The location of the device (102) is determined by the device (100) itself or the infrastructure (114) in communication with the device. The location cookie files are created by or transmitted to the device by the communication system and can be interrogated or queried immediately by the device, the infrastructure, or stored for later use by both. When a location cookie, or a cookie associated with a location has been stored on the device, it can be queried to determine when the device has moved to or close to the same location as stored in the location cookie. The location in the cookie can also be used to guide the device to a certain location of the location cookie. The location cookie can also be used to track the number of time the device enters a certain location.
摘要:
A system [100] includes a base station [105] to communicate wireless data with at least one user terminal [125, 130] within a cell serviced by the base station [105]. A central backhaul access point [135] communicates wireless backhaul data with the base station [105]. At least a first portion of the wireless data and a second portion of the wireless backhaul data is communicated via Spatial Division Multiple Access (“SDMA”), and the first portion of the wireless data utilizes at least some same time-frequency resources as the second portion of the wireless backhaul data.
摘要:
A method and system for assigning a carrier channel to a subscriber device (102) in an OFDM system is provided. The method includes estimating (602) a link impairment associated with the subscriber device. The method also includes assigning (604) the subscriber device to a carrier channel having a cyclic prefix that conforms to the link impairment. The link impairment is related to the delay spread of a link used by the subscriber device.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for electing broadcast relay nodes (520B, H, M) in an ad hoc network (500). Each node (520A-520O) generates an attribute message including associated parameters. Each node (520A-520O) generates a weighted value (WV) based on the parameters. The WV can be included in the attribute message for that node, can provide a metric for ranking that node to be nominated to be a broadcast relay node, can alternatively provide a probability measure for that node to probabilistically elect itself as a broadcast relay node. The broadcast manager node (520C) receives the attribute messages and elects at least one nominated node as a broadcast relay node (520B, H, M) based on the attribute messages. Each node (520A-520O) can also initiate election of an intermediate broadcast relay node if that node fails to receive a test message within a predetermined time.
摘要:
A portable wireless communication device (200) including a user interface (230), a receiving device (240/250) for receiving information from a proximal broadcast information receiving device, and a processor (220) programmed to identify the information received from the proximal broadcast information receiving device. The identification may be made by a signature and/or correlation analysis. In another embodiment, the information received from the proximal broadcast information receiving device is sent to a server which identifies the information received from the proximal broadcast information receiving device.
摘要:
A method in a communication network entity, for example, a push-to-talk/anything server, for content sharing in a group communication session including obtaining (210) participant information from a plurality of group participants, determining (220) common group information based on the group participant information obtained, and sending (230) the common group information to the group participants, wherein the group participants format content based on the common group information before communicating content to other participants of the group session.
