Abstract: Using residential power lines communication (PLC) as the last hop of the CPRI-based front-haul to the indoor users, where unmodified time division multiplexed (TDM) CPRI hyper-frames are transported in between the outdoor distributed unit (DU) and the indoor radio unit (RU) transparently. To countermeasure the hostile environment of power lines, proposed is a novel device, called CPRI-PLC-Gateway (CPG), which serves as an agent for creating a virtual CPRI link between the DU and RU. The proposed CPG aims to meet the desired CPRI options in the presence of the noisy PLC channel while remaining completely transparent to the CPRI protocol operation.

Abstract: A wireless communication device displays an icon for an application and stores a data restriction for the application. The wireless communication device receives a user selection of the icon and receives wireless data for the application. The wireless communication device compares an amount of the received wireless data for the application to the data restriction for the application to determine a data conformity level for the application. The wireless communication device translates the data conformity level for the application to a color. The wireless communication device displays the icon for the application surrounded by the color to indicate the data conformity level of the application.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for analyzing conformity to restrictions on the use of a wireless communication device to allow a user to make application usage decisions based on cost and application performance. In a particular embodiment, a method provides identifying restrictions on the use of a wireless communication device having applications available to the wireless communication device. The method further provides identifying a first application of the applications available to the wireless communication device that uses resources of a wireless communication network. The method further provides determining a first measure of conformity by the first application to the restrictions on the use of the wireless communication device and generating an instruction to display to a user an indication of the first measure of conformity by the first application to the restrictions on the use of the wireless communication device.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a method of operating a communication system. The method includes receiving a request to initiate a communication session with a wireless communication device, wherein the request indicates an application type. The method also includes determining a spreading code based on the application type, and transferring the spreading code to the wireless communication device. The method also includes receiving communications for the communication session encoded with the spreading code and decoding the encoded communications based on the spreading code.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a method of operating a communication system. The method includes receiving a first request to initiate a first communication session with a wireless communication device, determining a first spreading code for the first communication session, and transferring the first spreading code for delivery to the wireless communication device. The method also includes receiving a second request to initiate a second communication session with the wireless communication device, determining a second spreading code for the second communication session, where the second spreading code is determined based upon the first spreading code, and transferring the second spreading code for delivery to the wireless communication device.

Abstract: A control system processes a first neighbor list for a first base station to identify a second base station and a third base station. The control system processes a second neighbor list for the second base station and a third neighbor list for the third base station to determine if the second base station is on the third neighbor list and if the third base station is on the second neighbor list. The control system processes wireless coverage data for the second base station and the third base station to determine if a wireless coverage overlap exists between the second base station and the third base station. If the overlap exists and if one of the base stations is not on the other base station's neighbor list, then the control system indicates that the missing base station should be added to the other base station's neighbor list.
