Abstract: System and method for delivering messages to devices not in communication with a transmitting server. One or more wireless devices serve as host devices to relay a message from the server to the target device that is not in communication with the server. The server sends the message to host devices when they are in communication with the server. The host device or devices store the message to be relayed to the target device. When the host device is close to the target device, it establishes a short range wireless link with the target device and transmits the message to the target device. In an example, the messages sent to and stored by the host device are encrypted so they are not able to be read by a user of the host device.

Abstract: Device, system and method, in a vehicle communication system, to transmit wirelessly a message comprising the position, heading and speed of a vehicle or other moving object, wherein the transmission is repeated at regular intervals in a temporarily fixed time slot within a predetermined basic time interval. In a key embodiment the message duration is equal to or less than a predetermined time slot duration. Embodiments use generally the same time slot in a contiguous sequence of basic time intervals. Algorithms are described to resolve wireless interference within a time slot. Embodiments divide the basic time interval in multiple durations, “class regions,” for different message classes. Embodiments use different wireless bandwidth allocation algorithms for the class regions.

Abstract: Provided is an amplifier structure. The amplifier structure includes a delta-sigma modulator, an up converter, a power amplifier, and a band-pass filter. The delta-sigma modulator receives an IF signal to delta-sigma modulate the IF signal. The up converter up-converts a frequency of the delta-sigma modulated signal with an LO signal. The power amplifier amplifies a power of the up-converted signal. The band-pass filter filters the amplified signal of a selected band. The amplifier structure performs the delta-sigma modulation operation on an IF input signal, and thus can considerably decrease a delta-sigma modulation operation speed compared to a typical amplifier structure and moderate the specification in implementing a power amplifier.
