Abstract: Frames received on a first link of a channel are grouped or queued for later processing in a batch or batch mode. Power control instructions included with the frames are examined, and a history of predetermined length is kept. Frames to be transmitted on a second link of the channel are also batched for later handling in batch. Power control bits are generated for the frames, based at least in part on the history kept, in a manner that effectuates a slowing of responding to the incoming power control instructions.

Abstract: An RF mixer provides extended dynamic range with reduced noise by utilizing degeneration inductors in the RF input section of a doubly balanced mixer. Degeneration inductors are also utilized in a mixer having a class AB input section. A current mirror in the class AB input section is also inductively degenerated for further noise reduction. The input section is biased by an all-NPN bandgap reference cell which is tightly integrated into the input section so as to reduce the power supply voltage required for the reference cell. The mixer can be optimized for wide input voltage ranges or low distortion.

Abstract: Reception of a list including information on a content not receivable at a current location is avoided in acquiring a multicast content list. A portable terminal searches a wireless base station which can communicate with the portable terminal at a current location thereof, and transmits available sector identification information for identifying the searched wireless base station to a content information server. Based on the available sector identification information and multicast detailed information on a content distributed by the wireless base station, the content information server transmits a list of contents receivable at the current location of the portable terminal to the portable terminal. The portable terminal selects a content from the content list in accordance with user's manipulation, and makes transition to a channel where the selected content is distributed based on the multicast detailed information.
