Patent number: 7865360Abstract: An audio device for modifying the voice transmitted during a telephone call particularly suitable for a mobile telephone system receives from the user of the audio device an analog speech signal. A converter converts the analog speech signal into a digital speech signal comprising at least one fundamental frequency. A set of coded data represents a musical score comprising a set of notes, each note being defined by a fundamental frequency, a duration, and an instrument that plays the note. A digital music signal is extracted from the set of coded data, and a first portion of the digital speech signal is mixed with a first portion of the digital music signal to produce a combined digital signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2004Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: IPG Electronics 504 LimitedInventors: Xavier Fourquin, Pierre Bonnard

Patent number: 7865158Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically correcting the frequency of a local oscillator of a receiver. A primary common pilot channel (CPICH) code sequence is generated by a CPICH code generator based on a reference cell identification signal and a frame start signal. The received despread CPICH code sequence is used to generate an estimated frequency error signal. A control voltage signal is generated by a control voltage generator based on the estimated frequency error signal. The CPICH code generator generates the CPICH code sequence based on signals received from a high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) serving cell when HSDPA is active, or a timing reference cell when HSDPA is not active. The present invention achieves full maximum ratio combining gain when space time transmit diversity (STTD) is used, even without receiving a transmit diversity indication.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2005Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Aykut Bultan, Jung-Lin Pan, Rui Yang, Kenneth P.

Patent number: 7853285Abstract: A system and a method of controlling transmitter power in a wireless communication system in which user data is processed as a multirate signal in which the user data signal having a first rate is converted into a transmission data signal having a faster second rate for transmission. The transmission power is adjusted on a relatively slow basis based on quality of data received by a receiver of the transmitted data. The transmitter power is determined as a function of the first and second rates such that a change in the data rate in the multiple channels or the rate of the transmission data signal is compensated in advance of a quality of data based adjustment associated with such data rate change. Preferably, the user data signal having the first rate is converted into the transmission data signal having the second faster rate by repeating selected data bits whereby the energy per bit to noise spectrum density ratio is increased in the transmission data signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2009Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventor: John W. Haim

If the network's IP version is determined by the WTRU to be compatible, the WTRU and the network proceed with the attach procedures. In another embodiment, the network receives an attach request message from the WTRU which indicates the IP version of the WTRU. If the IP version of the WTRU is determined by the network to be compatible, the network and the WTRU proceed with the attach procedures. For both embodiments, another network is selected if the IP versions of the WTRU and the network are not compatible.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2005Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventor: Kamel M.
