摘要： The invention is a method and system for reducing the dynamic range of a signal input to a power amplifier in a CDMA forward-link transmission system. This is achieved by introducing a controllable amount of code-domain distortion to the data prior to spreading by Walsh codes. The amount of distortion is calculated by creating a data vector, applying a transform to the data vector to obtain a sequence, distorting the result to obtain a distorted sequence, applying an inverse transform to the distorted sequence to obtain a distorted data vector and comparing the distorted data vector to the original data, thereby to obtain the amount of code-domain distortion to be added to the data. The resultant, “corrected” spread-spectrum waveform can be controlled to the extent that it is guaranteed never to exceed a prescribed voltage range.

摘要： A game hosting service manages game sessions and groups of players. The service creates, starts, and ends a game session. The service also manages the joining and deleting of players and groups of players both prior to and during game play. The service collects, stores, and optionally arbitrates statistics for each player such a game score and relative ranking with other players. The service assigns a group ID to a group of players to allow the group to migrate across game sessions. The game hosting service utilizes session management APIs to nest multiple sessions, thus enabling groups of players to remain intact across multiple sessions.

摘要： Methods and systems for conserving power using predictive models and signaling are described. Parameters of a power management policy are set based on predictions based on user activity and/or signals received from a remote computer which define a user preference. In an embodiment, the power management policy involves putting the computer into a sleep state and periodically waking it up. On waking, the computer determines whether to remain awake or to return to the sleep state dependent upon the output of a predictive model or signals that encode whether a remote user has requested that computer remain awake. Before returning to the sleep state, a wake-up timer is set and this timer triggers the computer to subsequently wake-up. The length of time that the timer is set to may depend on factors such as the request from the remote user, context sensors and usage data.

摘要： A CATV distribution network provides an interface between a cellular communications base station and a plurality of mobile terminals. A head end signal processor disposed at a head end of the CATV network provides a first frequency conversion between a cellular communications radio frequency and the CATV network transmission frequency. A plurality of remote antenna drivers are disposed at the remote end of the CATV network and provide a second frequency conversion between the cellular communications radio frequency and the CATV network transmission frequency. Antennas coupled to the remote antenna drivers provide radio communications with the mobile terminals. The remote antenna drivers are arranged in groups, each group being operated in a simulcast manner. Dynamic range compression of the cellular communications traffic is provided on the upstream path between the mobile terminals and the base station.

摘要： A social matchmaking service selects matches of on-line game players based on personal/social characteristics of the players. The social matching service evaluates several criteria to obtain a list of available, socially compatible, game sessions. Criteria about the player include a player's friends, positive feedback about the player, negative feedback about the player, games completed with other players, players to avoid, and the player's gamer zone, country and language. Criteria about hosts of potentially compatible game sessions are also considered. Social matching utilizes a multi-pass approach, applying rules for prioritizing social criteria at each pass. The multi-pass approach starts with a narrow search and broadens the search at each successive pass. At each successive pass, sessions are added to the list of potential sessions until a reasonable number of sessions is achieved. Game sessions are assigned session values in accordance with affiliations between players.

摘要： A multi-layered network for transporting data comprises a first network layer that provides a first session topology, and a second network layer that provides a second session topology. The second network layer uses the first network layer to transport data. In one embodiment of the invention, the data sent by the second layer is real-time audio data, such as voice. Each session topology may be either peer-to-peer or client/server. The first and second layers may have different topologies and/or different session hosts. A deterministic algorithm is provided whereby a new session host is selected when the current host leaves the session.

摘要： Systems and methods for cancelling interference in received CDMA signals due to known components in the received signals which have been digitized to form a composite digitized baseband signal, for example due to pilot channel components in received CDMA IS-95 3G compliant signals which would otherwise interfere with the detection of unknown data streams. The pilot channel signals are detected, and an estimate of the air interface for each pilot channel signal is made. The pilot channel signals are then passed through a respective model of the air interface, and the resulting output is subtracted from the composite digitized baseband signal, thereby removing interference due to the pilot channel signals.
