  • Publication number: 20160270098
    Abstract: A transceiver apparatus and method to select data from one of a plurality of queues for transmission via a shared wireless medium based on a first value. Each of the plurality of queues has at least one associated priority, an assigned second value, and an assigned maximum continuous transmission time. Wherein the first value is derived from the assigned second value of the queue associated with the selected data. Further, the transceiver apparatus and method are configured to transmit at least one wireless signal including the selected data for a duration not exceeding the assigned maximum continuous transmission time of the queue associated with the selected data.

  • Publication number: 20160173189
    Abstract: A system for wireless data transmission that uses a channel bandwidth, channel separation, and radio frequency power spectrum which is compatible with existing deployments of wireless voice services. The transmitted waveforms are thus compatible with existing cellular networks. However, the time domain digital coding, modulation, and power control schemes are optimized for data transmission. Existing cellular network sites can thus be used to provide a high speed service optimized for wireless data traffic without the need for new radio frequency planning, and without interfering with existing voice service deployments.

  • Patent number: 9020796
    Abstract: The described embodiments concern verifying operation of a device, where the device may have one or more inputs and/or one or more outputs. At least one input and/or output is associated with an intelligent connector. An intelligent connector is a combination of a signal transport path and a data structure. The signal transport path may be electrical conductors leading to the device or a physical connector associated with the device. The data structure contains the name of a variable transported by the associated physical connector, an address of the variable itself as a value in memory, and further information of a source device that produces the variable, at least in the form of address or pointer to the source device data structure and the addresses of all destination devices that consume the variable.

  • Patent number: 8908654
    Abstract: A code division multiple access (CDMA) user device configured to dynamically allocating at least one wireless communication channel to permit a more efficient allocation of wireless communication channels when providing high speed data service. The CDMA user device is configured to receive data traffic from at least one data buffer in a base station. The CDMA user device is dynamically allocated at least one wireless communication channel based on an urgency factor. The urgency factor indicates the urgency of traffic data to be transmitted from the at least one data buffer in the base station to the CDMA user device.

  • Patent number: 8494538
    Abstract: A technique for transmission of wireless signals across CDMA radio links. Bandwidth is allocated dynamically within a session to specific CDMA subscriber unit based upon data rate determinations. Specifically, a dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm operates from limits calculated based upon available ports per subscriber, expected user bandwidth, and parallel user bandwidth versus throughput. Provisions for priority service, unbalanced forward and reverse spectrum utilization, voice prioritization, and band switching are also made.

  • Publication number: 20120192158
    Abstract: A technique for debugging of a program model (or the debugging and reconciliation of two independent software model instantiations) with the perception of immediate showing of values assumed by all variables at any selected time, by permitting a user to move a selected test point in a forward and reverse direction along a time line, without recalculating the model each time the test point is moved. This is achieved by running the program model once and then saving all the variable values in memory, the values associated with the explicit name of the pertaining variable.

  • Publication number: 20120192013
    Abstract: A technique for debugging of a signal processing program or model (or the debugging and reconciliation of two independent software instantiations). Timelines (Vectors) of signal values for verification are condensed to a small amount of information, easy to understand and manage. The information is stored in “Intelligent Points”, which can be graphically specified by the test engineering. The Intelligent Points can include one or more attributes that describe how to generate the appropriate signals. The information so stored can then be automatically expanded to complete timelines.

  • Publication number: 20110200017
    Abstract: A scheme and a method for assigning priority levels to users based upon a history of their request for access to the resources is disclosed. If a user has, over a historical period of time, made fewer demands than a stated amount, that user is given a higher priority than a user who has made greater use of the resources than their stated amount. Thus, users making the heaviest demand on the available resources are allocated fewer resources despite their demand, whereas users that make less demands for the resources are granted more of the resources they request.

    Abstract: A scheme for assigning priority levels to users based upon a history of their request for access to the resources. If a user has, over a historical period of time, made fewer demands than a stated amount, that user is given a higher priority than a user who has made greater use of the resources than their stated amount. Thus, users making the heaviest demand on the available resources are allocated fewer resources despite their demand, whereas users that make less demands for the resources are granted more of the resources they request. An additional feature of an access allocation scheme according to the present invention is to reserve at least some resources for the users at the lowest priority levels. Thus, even users being assigned to a lowest priority queue will be granted at least some access once in a while. A third feature in connection with the present invention is to use the time of continuous transfer as a threshold to drop a presently assigned priority.

  • Patent number: 7873365
    Abstract: A subscriber access unit for transferring session context in wireless communication is disclosed. The access unit contains first context establishing circuitry for establishing a first wireless session context associated with a first wireless coverage area; locating circuitry for determining whether the subscriber access unit is located concurrently in the first wireless coverage area and a second wireless coverage area; loading factor receiving circuitry for receiving a first loading factor and a second loading factor indicative of a throughput load associated with the first and second coverage areas respectively; comparison circuitry for comparing the first loading factor with the second loading factor; and second context establishing circuitry for selectively establishing a second wireless session context continuous with the first wireless session context, the second context associated with the second wireless coverage area, based on output of the circuitry comparing the first and second loading factors.
