Patent number: 8879533Abstract: A method, a base station, a User Equipment (UE) and a system for sending and receiving Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signaling are disclosed. A method includes determining locations of a first search space and a second search space of a User Equipment (UE). A method also includes sending PDCCH signaling with no Carrier Indication Field (CIF) to the UE in a physically overlapped region between the first search space and the second search space if the physically overlapped region exists and a length of the PDCCH signaling with no CIF in the first search space is equal to a length of PDCCH signaling with the CIF in the second search space.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2012Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Bingyu Qu, Lei Guan, Lixia Xue

Patent number: 8855145Abstract: Method, transmitter and computer program product for transmitting data of a real-time communication event from the transmitter to a jitter buffer of a receiver. Jitter buffer state information is received at the transmitter from the receiver, the jitter buffer state information indicating a state of the jitter buffer. At least one processing parameter is controlled based on the received jitter buffer state information, the at least one processing parameter describing how data is to be processed for transmission from the transmitter to the jitter buffer in the real-time communication event. Data is processed for transmission from the transmitter to the jitter buffer in accordance with the determined at least one processing parameter. The processed data is transmitted from the transmitter to the jitter buffer of the receiver in the real-time communication event.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2012Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Renat Vafin, Mattias Nilsson, Soren Vang Andersen, Andrei Jefremov

Patent number: 8824512Abstract: A video signal and an audio signal are TMDS transmitted from a source device to a sink device. Through a reserved line and a HPD line provided separately from a TMDS transmission line, an Ethernet™ signal is bidirectionally transmitted, and also, a SPDIF signal is transmitted from the sink device to the source device. The Ethernet™ signal bidirectionally transmitted between Ethernet™ transmitter/receiver circuits is differentially transmitted by an amplifier and is received by the amplifier. The SPDIF signal from a SPDIF transmitter circuit is common-mode transmitted from an adder and is received by the adder to be supplied to the SPDIF receiver circuit.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2010Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Gen Ichimura, Hidekazu Kikuchi, Yasuhisa Nakajima

Patent number: RE45466Abstract: Disclosed is a random access data transmission system and method using OFDMA. The system includes a scheduling ID into an access grant on a preamble for a random access, and transmits it together with an acknowledgment or a non-acknowledgment of the preamble, a base station uses the scheduling ID to notify the mobile station of a random access data transmittable time and a data transmission channel through a control channel, and the mobile station transmits a preamble in advance. After receiving a transmission assignment instruction corresponding to a scheduling ID through the control channel, the mobile station transmits random access data through an assigned channel.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Soo-Jung Jung, Kwang-Soon Kim, Byung-Han Ryu
