Abstract: A method for selecting at least one device to be controlled by a radio frequency (RF) controller device is described. The method comprising arranging a plurality of controllable devices into a plurality of groups; determining at least one link quality value for at least one device associated with the plurality of groups; calculating a proximity factor for the plurality of groups of controllable devices based at least partly on the determined at least one link quality value; comparing proximity factors for the plurality of groups of and selecting the group of controllable devices comprising a favorable proximity factor to be controlled by the RF controller device.

Abstract: Apparatus arranged to perform data multiplexing or demultiplexing or a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program which, when executed by a computer, carries out a method of multiplexing or demultiplexing data, the apparatus comprising a memory, an interface, and a processing unit arranged to determine locations of corresponding regions of the memory for corresponding channels based on data sizes and time-unit-numbers that have passed since a previous corresponding quantity of channel data for a corresponding channel was last stored in the memory or processed, wherein the data sizes and time-unit numbers correspond to one or more channels of the plurality of channels, such that the processing unit will not store the corresponding quantity of the channel data, for each corresponding channel of the plurality of channels, at a location in the memory that is currently storing any channel data that has not yet been output or processed.

Abstract: A system for processing data flows comprises a classifier, a first processor, a first checking unit, a calculator, and a second processor. The classifier is designed for classifying of data channels into a first and a second class of data channels. The first processor is designed for processing of a second sub-class of data channels. The calculator is designed for calculating information for the second class data channels from processing results of the first processor. The second processor is designed for processing the second class data channels using information calculated by the calculator. Each of network equipment for an uplink connection, and of user equipment for a downlink connection or batch processing of format detection comprises such a system for processing data flows.
