Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer programs for configuring one or more transmission parameters of a wireless client in a wireless local area network (WLAN) are provided. In one implementation, the method includes associating a wireless client with a wireless communication system in a WLAN, and at the wireless client, receiving one or more real-time data packets transmitted from the wireless communication system. Each real-time data packet contains real-time data in an uncompressed format. The method further includes sending an acknowledgement (ACK) packet for each real-time data packet correctly received by the wireless client.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer programs for configuring one or more transmission parameters of a wireless client in a wireless local area network (WLAN) are provided. In some implementations, one or more real time data packets to be transmitted from a wireless communication system to N wireless clients in the WLAN may be generated (N is an integer greater than zero). Each real time data packet may contain real time data in an uncompressed format. One or more transmission parameters associated with the wireless communication system or the N wireless clients may be configured to selectively operate in both a normal transmission mode and a real time transmission mode for transmission of the one or more real time data packets between the wireless communication system and the N wireless clients.

Abstract: A device comprises an integrated circuit comprising N first circuit modules each having an enabled state, wherein N is an integer greater than zero and M second circuit modules each having a disabled state, wherein M is an integer greater than zero. A control module that outputs upgrade data including identification of the M second circuit modules for enabling the M second circuit modules, respectively, and that allows selection and enablement of at least one of the M second circuit modules by a purchaser based on payment of at least corresponding ones of M prices associated with said M second circuit modules.

Abstract: Apparatus having corresponding methods and computer programs comprise a first port comprising a first transmitter to transmit a first packet to a first network, wherein the first packet identifies a first maximum size; a first receiver to receive second packets from the first network, wherein each second packet has a first size less than, or equal to, the first maximum size; and a second port comprising a second transmitter to transmit third packets to a second network, wherein the second network has a second maximum size greater than the first maximum size, wherein each third packet has a second size that is less than, or equal to, the second maximum size, and wherein each third packet comprises one of the second packets and a tunneling protocol header having a size that is less than, or equal to, a difference between the first maximum size and the second maximum size.

Abstract: A cellular phone comprises a first wireless transceiver that receives baseband (BB) signals, which are based on frequency modulated (FM) signals that have been tuned and down-converted from a radio frequency (RF) to the BB by a remote device. An FM processing module receives the BB signals and generates processed FM signals based on the BB signals.

Abstract: A cellular phone includes a first wireless transceiver that receives intermediate frequency (IF) signals. The IF signals are based on frequency modulated (FM) signals that have been tuned and down-converted from a radio frequency (RF) to an IF by a remote device. An FM processing module that receives the IF signals, that converts the IF signals to baseband signals, and that generates processed FM signals.

Abstract: A remote device comprises a frequency modulated (FM) tuner that communicates with an antenna and that tunes an FM frequency. A wireless transceiver transmits wireless signals to a remote cellular phone based on FM signals received at the FM frequency.

An FM processing module receives the RF signals, converts the RF signals to baseband signals and generates processed FM signals.

Abstract: A personal lifestyle device (PLD) includes a communication module, a memory device, and a control module. The communication module communicates with a wireless network. The memory device stores authentication information that authorizes communication between the PLD and at least one of the wireless network and a lifestyle service provider, and a profile comprising a lifestyle service ordered from the lifestyle service provider using the PLD. The control module communicates with the communication module and the memory device, automatically establishes communication between the PLD and at least one of the wireless network and the lifestyle service provider using the authentication information, automatically receives a unicast for the lifestyle service from the lifestyle service provider, wherein the unicast is selectively based on the profile, and selectively transmits an order for the lifestyle service to the lifestyle service provider.
