Abstract: A method and system creating a network architecture to allow wireless subscribers to selectively integrate a network of available podcast information which may include podcasts and various other media rich IP-data, and related to locally available information, is provided. Interrogation of the network and/or retrieval and control of such podcasts may be accomplished in realtime or at a specifiable future time. In addition, other subscriber configurable profiles are provided in a variety of forms to further facilitate interrogation, filtering, and retrieval.

Abstract: A method of allocating CDMA codes from a set of the same is provided for use in connection with a wireless network. The method includes, after identifying a desired size of the code to be allocated, determining if there exists a code of the desired size whose sibling is unavailable. If such a code is found, then it is allocated. Otherwise, it is determined if there exists a code of smaller than the desired size whose sibling is unavailable. When such a code (i.e., a code of smaller than the desired size whose sibling is unavailable) is found, a descendant thereof which has the desired size is allocated.

Abstract: A method of verifying that a CDMA code allocator maintains mutual orthogonality between all concurrently busy codes includes the steps of identifying a code being allocated by the allocator, and determining if the identified code is busy. It is also determined if any ancestral parent of the identified code is busy, and if any descendant of the identified code is busy. If the identified code, one of the identified code's ancestral parents, or one of the identified code's descendants is determined to be busy, then an error in allocator operation is indicated.
