Abstract: Methods and systems for scheduling wake/sleep cycles by a central device in a wireless network that have at least one mobile device include determining a system reference cycle as a minimum value of a delay constraint on a real-time service for each mobile device of the at least one mobile device that has a real-time service. A wake/sleep cycle length is attributed to each mobile device. The wake/sleep cycle length is an integer multiple of the system reference cycle such that a wake/sleep cycle length of a first mobile device is different from that of a second mobile device. A sleep period and a wake period are assigned within the wake/sleep cycle of each mobile device. The wake/sleep cycle of each mobile device is arranged to avoid collision of the wake period with those of other mobile devices.

Abstract: The method of the present invention includes: obtaining an original signal outputted by a SIM card; converting the original signal into a target signal, where under an equal transmission condition and/or at an equal transmission distance, signal attenuation and/or distortion of the target signal are/is less than signal attenuation and/or distortion of the original signal; and sending the target signal to a terminal device, where the terminal device obtains the target signal by using a signal transmission line, and the SIM card exists independent of the terminal device. In the present invention, a SIM card may be separated from a terminal device, and a generated target signal may be transmitted over a relatively long distance by using a signal transmission line, which can satisfy an application that requires a SIM card to be placed far away from a terminal device.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system a control channel is required in order to use limited resources effectively. However, the control channel resource is part of the system overhead, and thus reduces the data channel resource used for data transmission. In the long term evolution (LTE) system based on OFDM, one sub frame the consists of fourteen OFDM symbols wherein a maximum of three OFDM symbols are used for the control channel resource and remaining eleven OFDM symbols are used for the data channel resource. Therefore, the quantity of energy that can be transmitted for the control channel resource is extremely limited compared to the data channel resource. For this reason, the coverage of the control channel becomes less than that &; of the data channel, and even if a user can successfully receive the data channel, reception failure of a control channel sometimes˜results in failure of data recovery.
