Abstract: Multiple device coordination (MDC) in a wireless communication system is described. For example, a method includes identifying, by a coordinating device associated with an entity, one or more non-coordinating devices of a network and associated with the same entity. The method also includes coordinating a single, shared radio connection to which the coordinating device and the one or more non-coordinating devices are communicatively coupled. In some instances, coordination is performed via initializing, management and/or transmission stages. For example, from a set of candidate devices, a coordinating device and the non-coordinating devices are determined during the initialization stage. The coordinating device can be selected based on any number of different factors including, but not limited to, proximity to base station, transceiver power, resources, screen size and/or based on a selection made by the entity.

Abstract: Data transmissions between a user equipment (UE) and a serving cell of a heterogeneous network (HetNet) are efficiently scheduled based on speed data associated with the UE. In one aspect, the UE can report its speed to a serving access point. Alternatively, the serving access point can estimate the UE's speed based on information received from core network devices. In addition, to extend the battery life of the UE, the UE can report power consumption constraint data to the serving cell, which in turn can utilize the consumption constraint data to facilitate the scheduling. Moreover, based on an analysis of the speed data and the power consumption constraint data, the serving access point can determine whether dual connectivity is to be implemented and/or whether communication data is to be transmitted via an Almost Blank Sub-frame (ABS) or a non-ABS.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to a wireless communications environment. Femto-assisted location estimation schemes can determine UE location information based on information from either macro base stations or femto base stations in a LTE-A heterogeneous network. Positions information for a femto base station can be employed even though the exact positions of fBS may not be available. The femto base station position information can be depicted as a probabilistic distribution. Bayesian estimation based on TDOA and utilization of a particle filter can facilitate determining UE location information. Furthermore, a simplified scheme can reduce computational complexity.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to dynamic resource management for wireless network components with a wireless communications environment. Personal base stations can be deployed in a substantially uncoordinated manner resulting in conflicts among wireless radio resources. Dynamically assigning subchannel and dynamically allocating power for subchannels can reduce these conflicts. Dynamic resource management can employ combinatorial auction schema such that assignment of subchannels can be considerate of selecting a power level for performance and to minimize overlapping subchannel interference. In an aspect, several methods can be employed to reduce the computational complexity of the general integer programming problem presented. These several methods can include a Combinatorial Auction with Greedy Algorithm scheme, a Random Equal Subchannel Partition scheme, a Local Combinatorial Auction scheme, and a Neighbors' Poor Channels scheme.

The asymptotic ergodic rate can be based on large-scale channel behavior and a maximum Doppler shift between the mobile devices.

Abstract: An image correction method able to avoid error image. According to opposite properties of black and white, only the last few bits of the scanned digital signal are extracted for black correction, while only the first few bits of the scanned digital signal are extracted for white correction. Further, the most significant bit of the digital signal is 1 for white correction. Therefore, the unwanted LBB effect on the scanned image caused by dust or spot on the correction document is avoided. In addition, as only a few bits of the scanned digital signal are extracted, the requirement in memory capacity is reduced.

Abstract: An opening method for a double-sided scanner is provided. A light source of one particular color inside a first group of light sources and a light source of a different color (or the same color) inside a second group of light source are lit to scan the front and back surface of a scan document. Optical signals from the front and back surface of the scan document are received and converted into analogue electrical signals. Thereafter, the analogue electrical signals are converted into digital electrical signal. Finally, the digital electrical signals are output to a host computer. This invention utilizes two groups of light sources (for example, light-emitting diodes) to serve as light sources for the double-sided scanner. Because light-emitting diodes require no warm-up period and is quick to switch, double-sided scanning is simplified.
