Abstract: A transmitter of a cognitive radio comprises a selector for selecting from a memory a channel which is determined free, for a power measurement. A power meter measures the received power from the selected channel. Detection selector compares the measured power and a power of the same channel saved in the memory and selects the channel for detection if the power in the channel is within a predetermined range from the power saved in the memory. A detector performs detection of the channel as a response to the selection for detection. A channel selector selects the channel for communication if the channel is detected unoccupied on the basis of detection. The transmitter communicates in the channel as a response to the selection for communication.

Abstract: An information acquisition section acquires application halfway information, user preference, updated date and time, real-timeness, usage frequency, usage history, radio wave state, remaining battery level, billing information or other information. A controller calculates recommendation values indicating recommended degrees to recommend the use to a user for each of a plurality of applications and for each of the contents of each of the applications, using the information that the information acquisition section acquired.

Abstract: A gateway device configured to receive IP video content may select and use transmission methods that maintain a certain quality of service for delivering the content. A transmission method may be selected based on a network to which the client device is connected. The gateway device may select a network through which the content is to be delivered depending on a variety of factors including bandwidth availability, client compatibility, quality of service provided and the like. A gateway device may further be configured to convert multicast transmissions to unicast, to provide dynamic storage of content for pre-positioning and other purposes and/or to provide other functions.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques for tracing application execution and performance. Some of the tools provide a framework for monitoring the execution and/or performance of applications in an execution chain. In some cases, the framework can accomplish this monitoring with a few simple calls to an application programming interface on an application server. In other cases, the framework can provide for the passing of traceability data in protocol-specific headers of existing inter-application (and/or intra-application) communication protocols.
