  • Patent number: 7941148
    Abstract: Generating neighbor lists. A set of devices are provisioned to report on neighbor lists and visibility of sectors. Each device in the set of devices generates event data that includes the neighbor list from a sector, other sectors visible while using the neighbor list, and/or sectors visible to the device if the call was dropped or lost. The event data of each device is received at a management system. The management system can derive recommended neighbor lists for each sector in a wireless network based on the cumulative event data received from the set of devices operating in the network.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7826847

Each device in the set of devices generates event data that includes the neighbor list from a sector, other sectors visible while using the neighbor list, and/or sectors visible to the device if the call was dropped or lost. The event data can be recorded or stored by the device or forwarded to a server immediately or at a later time. The event data of each device is received at and recorded by a management system. The management system can derive recommended neighbor lists for each sector in a wireless network based on the cumulative event data received from the set of devices operating in the network.

  • Patent number: 5670986
    Abstract: A graphics system for use with a computer in a gray-scale mode. The graphics system utilizes a lookup table having index values to be stored in a frame buffer. The lookup table is addressed by convening color information, such as RGB color information, to a luminance value, which is then used to access the table. The index values may be used to index a second lookup table for providing luminance information. The present invention further discloses methods of insuring index values provided by the lookup table closely approximate the desired luminance value within the available gray-scale space. Further, the present invention provides methods for performing arithmetic transfer operations on gray-scales represented by indices in the frame buffer.
