摘要： An integrated circuit containing multiple modules coupled to a pad via a multiplexer. The modules are selectively coupled to the pad by the multiplexer to provide integrated circuit function flexibility with a limited number of pads. A multiplexer select signal determines which module or clock circuit is coupled by the multiplexer. A common buffer may be coupled between the multiplexer and the pad to save substrate space. An analog circuit may be coupled to the pad to provide a signal path minimizing signal distortion. The integrated circuit's clock may be coupled via the multiplexer to an off-substrate circuit. Selective module coupling improves the integrated circuit's testing speed, may salvage an integrated circuit containing a malfunctioning module, and provides for signal loopback during testing.

摘要： The disclosure relates to reverse link lower layer assisted video error control. A method may encode video data, form a packet with the encoded video data, and transmit the packet across a wireless channel to an access network. A medium access control (MAC) layer may receive a negative acknowledgement (NAK) from the access network. The method may determine whether the received NAK is associated with a packet that contains video data. If the received NAK is associated with a packet that contains video data, the method may perform error control.

摘要： Methods of displaying broadcast media content information to a user include receiving at a first receiver first content from a first channel of a multi-channel broadcast media system while receiving at a second receiver information regarding the content on a second off-channel of the multi-channel broadcast media system. Then, at least some of the received information regarding the content on the second channel is displayed to the user. A database of information may also be provided that includes, for example, information regarding listening/viewing preferences of the user. This database of information may be used, for example, to select the off-channels that are scanned for content information and/or to select what information is displayed to the user.

摘要： A splitter component may be used by itself or with one or more ancillary devices to provide client devices local IP access (LIPA) using local area network (LAN) addresses, while contemporaneously providing quality of service (QoS) functionality to the access terminal for data communicated via a modem, contemporaneously with providing the LIPA. The splitter device may assign a higher priority to traffic of a type having QoS functionality. The QoS functionality may include any combination of a latency requirement, a signal quality requirement, or a signal strength requirement. Providing the one or more devices LIPA using one or more LAN addresses may include assigning each of the client devices an IP address and implementing a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) relay on an associated router, or other LIPA functions.
