摘要:
A medical system includes one or more MBAN devices that acquire and communicate patient data. The medical system further including one or more medical body area network (MBAN) systems, each MBAN system including the one or more MBAN devices that communicate the patient data with a hub device via short-range wireless communication, the communication of the patient data via the short-range wireless communication being within a predefined spectrum. The hub device receives patient data communicated from the one or more MBAN devices and communicates with a central monitoring station via a longer range communication. The one or more MBAN devices transmit an association request to the hub device on one or more auxiliary channels to associate each MBAN device with the MBAN system, the auxiliary channels being outside the predefined spectrum.

A medical body area network (MBAN) system (10) comprises network nodes (12, 14) intercommunicating via short range wireless communication. A primary user database (46) contains information pertaining to usage of a restricted spectrum by primary users wherein the MBAN systems are secondary users of the restricted spectrum. An electronic key generation engine (44) comprises a digital processing device configured to generate an electronic key (E-key) (50) indicative of whether the MBAN system is allowed to use the restricted spectrum based on content of the primary users database. An MBAN application server (40) is configured to distribute the E-key to the MBAN system. The MBAN system includes a spectrum control sub-module (52) comprising a digital processor configured to select an operating channel or frequency for the short range wireless communication based at least in part on whether the E-key authorizes the MBAN system to use the restricted spectrum.

A method (400) and apparatus for encoding a block-based communication system header. A physical (PHY) layer header and a medium access control (MAC) header of the block-based communication system header are encoded to generate parity bits, wherein the PHY layer header includes at least cyclic prefix (CP) mode bits (S410). Parity bits are appended to the PHY layer header and the MAC layer header to generate a bit vector (S420). The bit vector is divided into at least two data blocks, wherein a first data block includes at least the CP mode bits (S430). A predefined number of tail bits are appended to each data block (S440). The two data blocks are mapped into at least two symbols, wherein the first data block is mapped to a first symbol, such that the first symbol is a first header symbol being transmitted (S450).

A method and system is provided for detecting the presence of a DVB (digital video broadcasting) transmission. The method includes receiving an RF (radio frequency) signal in a selected channel (1101); creating signal samples from the received RF signal (1102); creating averaged samples from the signal samples, each averaged sample being an average of a predetermined number of signal samples that are separated by a minimum pilot pattern repetition period from one to the next signal sample (1103); correlating the averaged samples with a reference sequence (1104); and comparing a correlation result with a threshold correlation value (1105).

A system, method, and apparatus are provided for a source to choose a partner/relay from at least one candidate to transmit at least part of a message from the source to destination. The choice depends on the channel conditions of the source and when the source is experiencing poor channel quality to the destination, the source selects the candidate and the modulation modes of the source and partner/relay such that the frame error rate (FER) of the source is lowered. Otherwise, a modulation mode is selected for each of the source and the partner/relay that most improves the gain in throughput of the source. The present invention applies to modes consisting of binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), and 16-state quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM).

The present invention provides a system (400), device (200, 300), and method (200) for a spatial multiplexing (SMX) transmission scheme combined with symbol spreading and rotation using a pre-determined matrix R, which can greatly improve system performance without requiring additional bandwidth or power consumption under fast Rayleigh flat fading channels or high frequency-selective channels in UWB systems. Because of the lattice-based structure, sphere decoding is employed to reduce the complexity of ML decoding while maintaining the near ML performance. On the other hand, ZF and MMSE receivers can also be used due to the systematic structure at the transmitter.

The invention relates to a system and method for localization positioning in lighting systems. At least two of a Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA), Angle of Arrival (AOA), Received Signal Strength Index (RSSI) and a Position Estimation Algorithm with unified TDOA and RSSI are used to obtain localization positioning. The schemes introduce a maximum-likelihood estimation strategy incorporating a partial derivative matrix for each lighting unit using at least two reference nodes in order to achieve higher accuracy.

The present invention, generally speaking, provides interleavers and methods of interleaving that satisfy the need for backward compatibility while effectively addressing competing design objectives. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, data is transmitted using a number of transmit antennas greater than an expected number of receive antennas. At least one pair of transmit antennas (ant′—1, ant′_N) is formed, and multiple second data streams (610a, 610u) are formed from a first data stream, successive bits in said first data stream being assigned to different ones of said second data streams. Block interleaving of multiple respective ones of said second data streams is individually performed (611a, 611u). During successive transmission intervals (617), the pair of transmit antennas is used to transmit a pair of data symbols taken from different ones of said second data streams, followed by an equivalent transformed pair of data symbols.
