Abstract: A live streaming system/method provides cross platform live streaming capabilities to mobile devices. The live streaming system includes a live streaming recorder operative to (1) capture a live media stream generated by a live media source and save the captured live media stream as a recorded stream in a recorded media file, and (2) transcode the recorded stream into a plurality of transcoded media files of respective different media encoding formats. The system further includes a stream distribution subsystem operative to generate a plurality of distributed media streams each generated from one or more of the transcoded media files, each distributed media stream being delivered to a corresponding set of the mobile endpoint devices.

Abstract: A mobile communications terminal for use in a cellular communications system such as a CDMA system. The terminal includes an electronic circuit for receiving a wire-less communications signal carrying signal channels having processing means for extracting the signal channels. The electronic circuit is adapted to classify a type of interference affecting the communications quality by evaluating signals selected in the electronic circuit that are selected as signals having information for classifying a type of interference in one of at least two predetermined classes of interference.
