  • Publication number: 20100226296
    Abstract: A method of scheduling time division duplex frames at a base station in a time division duplex system is provided. The method includes determining if the round-trip propagation delay between the base station and a communicatively coupled subscriber station is greater than the difference between the base station turn-around time and the minimum allowed subscriber station turn-around time, and modifying time slots in a time division duplex frame being sent to the subscriber station over a communication link to extend the range of signals sent from the base station.

  • Publication number: 20100215335
    Abstract: Provided is a reproducing apparatus for reproducing moving image information stored in a storage medium. In response to an externally supplied skip command, the reproduction device extracts a feature parameter of image or sound from the moving image information being reproduced, and stores the extracted feature parameter in a storage device. The reproducing apparatus detects a feature parameter coinciding with the feature parameter stored in the storage device, from the moving image information stored in the storage medium, and inhibits reproduction of the moving image information for a set time which contains the detected feature parameter.

  • Publication number: 20100215028
    Abstract: A communication system includes a master host unit, communication links, a remote server unit, an analog communication medium, and remote units. The master host unit communicates analog signals with service provider interfaces using a first set of bands of analog spectrum. The master host unit communicates digitized spectrum in N-bit words across communication links and converts between the first set of bands and N-bit words. The remote server unit communicates N-bit words with the master host unit across communication links and converts between N-bit words and a second set of bands of analog spectrum. The remote server unit communicates the second set of bands with the remote units across the analog communication medium. Each remote unit frequency converts the second set of bands to a third set of bands of analog spectrum and transmits and receives wireless signals, associated with service provider interfaces, over air interfaces.
