Abstract: a radio case device intended for use upon, or integrated into, a cellular smart phone device. The installation of a stacked tubular or semi-tubular circumferential reflective elements within the top of the case of such case device results in overlapping omnidirectional reflected time phased re-broadcast of received signal of origin from the microwave or radio device. The re-broadcast signals or reflected signals provide a circumferential omnidirectional signal reflections from differing levels of depth (and accordingly differing distances from signal source) with fractal subdivisions from each depth of element. This creates multiple, interactive, layered and fractal interference patterns, resulting in reduced signal penetration in the area of the end user's body and head).

Abstract: A method, system, and medium are provided for dynamically enabling and disabling cyclic prefix within a long-term evolution (LTE) channel. A base station receives channel quality indication (CQI) reports indicating levels of ISI within the LTE channel. The base station determines whether the levels of ISI within the LTE channel are greater than, equal to, or less than a predetermined threshold level of ISI for the LTE channel. Based on the determination, the base station either enables or disables cyclic prefix within the LTE channel. In addition to levels of ISI, numbers of roaming users or cell edge users utilizing the LTE channel may affect whether cyclic prefix is enabled or disabled within the LTE channel.

Abstract: Radio spectrum trading involves determining available radio spectrum and requestors desiring to lease portions of the available radio spectrum, and for allocating the available spectrum to the requestors. A pricing curve may be set based on historical information and/or requests to lease spectrum. A determination may then be made as to whether an amount of available spectrum is less than or greater than an amount spectrum being requested. If it is determined that the amount of available spectrum is less than the amount of spectrum being requested, then an auction may be conducted for the available spectrum with the initial bid being set based on the pricing curve. If the amount of available spectrum is greater than the amount of spectrum being requested, then the requests may be sorted based on predicted revenue generation and the available spectrum may be allocated in order from highest to lowest revenue generated.
