Abstract: An IPSec tunnel is established by assigning parameters TS and SPI being translated into TFT (PF I, PF II). A first index is assigned. A GTP tunnel is established based on TFT (PF I, PF II) and the first index. GGSN generates a table based on TFT (PF I, PF II) and the first index, for UE in WLAN network to access 3G services. UE assigns a second index when roaming into the 3G network. A tunnel between SGSN and UE is established based on TFT (PF I, PF II) and the second index. Another tunnel between the SGSN and the GGSN is established based on TFT (PF I, PF II) and the second index. GGSN searches for the table with the first index based on SPI in the TFT (PF II), for reusing the table for not interrupting 3G services provided to the UE in the 3G network.

Abstract: A method, device and computer readable medium for enabling and blocking communications with a remote device based on a distance of the remote device. The method on which the device and computer readable medium are based includes transmitting a message from a local device to a remote device via an ultra wide band (UWB) wireless medium and receiving a response from the remote device via the UWB wireless medium. The transmitting and receiving steps are preferably performed in accordance with a Media Access Control (MAC) protocol. A distance between the local device and the remote device is then determined based on a time between the transmitting of the message and the receiving of the response and a function, such as communicating with the remote device, is performed in the local device based on the distance determined. The communication between the local device and the remote device may be enabled or disabled depending on the distance that the remote device is from the local device.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) router is disclosed. The RF router utilizes resistive input signal splitters on an input module to divide input RF signals received at RF signal input terminals into a plurality of backplane signals. The backplane signals are transmitted to one or more output modules where the backplane signals are each resistively split into a plurality of split backplane signals. A split backplane signal corresponding to each of the input RF signal is coupled to a backplane signal selection stage. The backplane signal selection stage couples on of the split backplane signals to an RF signal output terminal.

Receiving section 104 obtains demodulated data from a received signal at the corrected reception timing.

Abstract: A system and method for locating optimal routes between source and destination nodes in a communications network, in particular, a wireless ad-hoc communications network by employing a link reliability algorithm that estimates the reliability of links between nodes using a prediction mechanism and a variable-weight filter. The prediction can be based on signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio or any statistic collected at the physical layer that is deemed representative of the quality of a link, and the weighting filter adjusts the predicted value based on the traffic conditions (e.g., idle, light traffic, moderate traffic or heavy traffic) being experienced by the nodes whose link quality is being estimated.

The hinge includes a crankshaft that has a transverse shaft and a vertical shaft extending perpendicularly from an end of the transverse shaft, a first cam assembly disposed on the transverse shaft, and a second cam assembly disposed on the vertical shaft. The first cam assembly together with the transverse shaft is retained by the first bearing to enable the cover to be rotatable relative to the body about a transverse axis. The second cam assembly together with the vertical shaft is retained by the second bearing to enable the cover to be rotatable relative to the body about a vertical axis.

Abstract: The quality of a broadcast stream is varied responsive to changes in the utilization of forward link air interface resources. The network monitors utilization of forward link air interface resources and dynamically changes the forward link air interface resources dedicated to the broadcast stream responsive to changes in the utilization of forward link air interface resources. The quality of the broadcast stream is scaled to the allocated forward link resources. The broadcast stream may include a layered content and scaling can be achieved by varying the number of layers transmitted over the air interface. The network may notify mobile stations in advance when changes in the quality of the broadcast will take place. When the broadcast stream originates with a mobile station, the forward link air interface resources may be limited by the quality of the broadcast stream transmitted over a reverse link channel from the originating mobile station.
