Abstract: A signal interfacing technique for connecting signals between a signal processing device and a radio integrated circuit (IC) involving multiplexing two or more signals on a connection pin between the radio IC and a signal processing device. According to one technique, transmit and receive signals are multiplexed such that during a transmit mode a transmit signal is coupled on the connection pin from the signal processing device to the radio IC, and during a receive mode a receive signal is coupled from the radio IC on the connection pin to the signal processing device. According to another technique, in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals are multiplexed on a connection pin during both transmit and receive modes.

Abstract: A wireless communication method and system for minimizing severe interference to one or more wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRUs). A plurality of non-overlapping zones (e.g., an inner zone and an outer zone) is defined for each cell of a wireless multi-cell communication system, such as a time division duplex (TDD) system. Information regarding potential conflicts between the non-overlapping cell zones is obtained. Each potential conflict indicates that there is a high likelihood of one of the WTRUs using a specific time slot for transmitting in a zone of one cell causing severe interference to a second one of the WTRUs using the specific time slot for receiving in a zone of another (i.e., a different) cell. Time slot usage (e.g., uplink, downlink or none) is then determined on a zone-by-zone basis using the obtained information to minimize interference caused by a conflicting uplink assignment or a conflicting downlink assignment.

Abstract: A wireless communication method and apparatus for coordinating Node-Bs during handover for enhanced uplink (EU) transmission. In one embodiment, a radio network controller (RNC) initiates an inter-Node-B soft handover. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) establishes communication connections with a plurality of Node-Bs. A particular one of the Node-Bs is designated as being a primary Node-B, and each of other Node-Bs are designated as being a non-primary Node-B. The RNC informs all of the Node-Bs that the particular Node-B is a primary Node-B. The primary Node-B schedules EU transmission and performs ACK/NACK during soft handover. In another embodiment, the RNC initiates a hard handover for a WTRU connected to a source Node-B. The RNC sends an activation timer to the source Node-B to set the time for handover. As many previously negatively acknowledged (NACKed) data packets as possible are prioritized for retransmission in the source Node-B before the activation timer expires.

The adapter consists of a structure having an elongated aperture with a first end adapted to fit snugly over the barrel of the paintball gun thereby extending the barrel. An exit portion of the adapter forms an open trough-like cavity, wherein the trough-like cavity is generally mal-aligned with the paintball gun barrel such that a spin is imparted upon a paintball fired from the paintball gun barrel as it passes longitudinally through the trough-like cavity and exits therefrom.
