  • Patent number: 9832544
    Abstract: A signal sending device, a signal receiving device, and a signal sending and receiving system and method are presented. The devices and system combine a plurality of sense data into a data packet to transmit the data packet. Through the method, the data packet is processed, received, and sent under a transmission mechanism based on independent data packets. Therefore, the plurality of sense data and overhead data are combined into a data packet, and thus the redundant overhead data is reduced, so as to reduce the time spent on sending actual data to a transmission channel, thus improving the efficiency of data exchange and saving electrical energy.

  • Patent number: 9781171
    Abstract: The present invention provides a registration method for managing NAT shutdown. In Internet communication field, a user must perform registrations intermittently to a server through NAT, and increase the time interval of registration step by step. But NAT itself will shutdown if no packet is passed through for a long period. The registration method of the present invention is to adjust the time interval of registration step by step so that the time interval of registration is slightly less than the shutdown time of NAT, and then fix the time interval of registration to assure that all of the Invite packet can pass through without blocking up by the shutdown of NAT.

  • Patent number: 9686516
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improving configuration of wireless communication paths between devices in a video projection system comprising multiple wireless video projectors. When an initial radio communication setup is required between a managing node, e.g. a node comprising a master projector, and a node comprising a slave projector, for example following the powering up of the video projection system, the slave node receives setup information by radio communication means according to a sweeping sequence and transmits information by projecting sub-images. Sub-images advantageously comprise information relative to settings of the master node allowing reception in the corresponding slave node of a radio signal transmitted by the master node.

  • Patent number: 9674801
    Abstract: A system is provided for allocating downlink transmit power in a wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. During operation, the system identifies a set of receivers for receiving signals from one or more transmitters on a same time-frequency slot, receives channel state information (CSI) for communication channels between the identified receivers and the transmitters, and constructs a precoder based on the CSI. The system further derives a set of power-scale factors for the precoder based on a utility function associated with the identified receivers such that the power-scale factors optimize the utility function. A respective power-scale factor scales power transmitted to a corresponding receiver.
