Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for path selection. A packet can be transparently intercepted at an intermediary device. Next, the intermediary device may modify one or more bits in the header of the packet. The intermediary device can then forward the packet to the next hop device. In some network configurations, the modifications to the one or more bits in the header of the packet may cause a downstream device to select a path that is different from the path that would have been selected by the downstream device if the one or more bits in the header of the packet had not been modified. A path selection policy can be used to determine whether or not one or more bits in the header of the packet are to be modified.

Also, the base-station selectively assigns each user device to an uplink synchronized state and an uplink non-synchronized state. The base-station allocates a unique reduced identifier to each user device in the uplink synchronized state, but does not allocate unique reduced identifiers to user devices in the non-synchronized state.

Abstract: A self-interference signal cancellation circuit includes a transmitter for transmitting a transmit signal, a plurality of signal paths, a controller, and a receiver for receiving a signal. Each signal path includes a delay element and a variable attenuator having attenuation levels set by the controller. A combiner generates an output signal by combining outputs of the signal paths. The circuit computes a matrix based on first and second output signals associated with first and second attenuation levels. The controller concurrently varies the attenuation level of each signal path so that a product of the matrix and the attenuation levels of the signal paths is substantially equal to the received signal. The circuit may iteratively compute the matrix using different transmit signal frequencies or with an FFT. The controller iteratively varies the attenuation level of the attenuators until a sum of the product and the received signal satisfies a predefined condition.

Abstract: In a radio communication system including multiple mobile terminals and multiple radio base stations, the mobile terminal has a function of interference rejection combining. The radio base stations share downlink channel characteristics for mobile terminals connected to radio base stations. The radio base station gives weights to radio waves transmitted from multiple transmission antennas to perform in-phase addition of an interfering radio wave beam directed to a mobile terminal for which the desired radio base station is another radio base station to an interfering radio wave beam transmitted from yet another radio base station for limiting the number of interfering radio wave beams that arrive at the mobile terminal. The radio base station does not perform in-phase addition when the number of interfering radio wave beams of which interference can be suppressed by the mobile terminal is equal to or greater than the number of radio base stations that send interfering radio wave beams to the mobile terminal.
