Abstract: A system and method for ownership resolution is disclosed. The system comprises a merge module, an ownership database and a decision engine. The merge module retrieves a unified table from the ownership database. The unified table includes ownership information that is converted to a standard format. The merge module is configured to merge the ownership information to form a final merge result based at least in part on one or more merging rules. The decision engine receives the final merge result from the merge module. The decision engine is configured to determine a real owner of a granular right based at least in part on the merged ownership information included in the final merge result.

Abstract: A method (400) and a receiving unit (220) for demodulating a multi-path signal are described herein. The receiving unit (220) may be configured to receive the multi-path signal. The receiving unit (220) may include an input buffer controller (305), an input buffer (310), a rake finger (330), and a sum generator (340). The input buffer (310) may be configured to store data samples associated with a plurality of paths of the multi-path signal. The input buffer controller (305) may be configured to time-align the data samples relative to each other, and to delay the data samples. The rake finger (330) may be configured to de-spread and to accumulate the delayed data samples for a sub-correlation length. The sum generator (340) may be configured to combine a plurality of outputs from the rake finger (330). Each of the plurality of outputs corresponds to one of the plurality of paths of the multi-path signal.

Abstract: A communication unit is provided having a transmitter and a processor (103). The processor (103) receives information (105) representative of a configuration of physical channels (107). The processor (103) determines a scaling factor responsive to the information (105) and facilitates scaling a signal (109, 111) provided by a combination of the channels utilizing the scaling factor. The scaled signal (109, 111) is provided to the transmitter.

Abstract: An apparatus (100) and a method (400) suitable for use in a communication device by equalizing an input signal received to mitigate multipath distortion effects present in the input signal in the communication device are provided. A first filter (102) samples the input signal (104) and generates a first filter output (106) based upon the sampled input signal and a filter coefficient array (108). An error signal (112) is then generated based upon a difference between the first filter output (106) and a desired signal (114), and the filter coefficient array (108) is updated based upon a product of the error signal (112) and an adaptation constant (118). A second filter (126) samples a delayed input signal (124) and generates a second filter output (128) based upon the sampled delayed input signal and the filter coefficient array (108).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for channel estimation in a rake receiver of a CDMA communication system operates with a finite-impulse-response channel estimation s filter with L taps and having a fixed delay. A pilot sequence of a received sequence of data from a channel of the communication system on the rake receiver is input. A quality of the channel of the communication system is determined using noise or Doppler measurements. These measurements are used in adjusting a bandwidth of the filter to accommodate the channel quality while keeping the fixed delay, which minimizes the delay buffer size. The filter is then used to operate on the received sequence of data to provide coherent modulation.

Abstract: A scheduler for a machine includes a selector and a traverser. The selector selects the traverser and selects policies from a library based on a model of the machine. The traverser looks for a preferred itinerary. The scheduler includes a first module to choose an itinerary, a second module to calculate a combined weight, and logic to repeatedly operate the first and second modules to choose additional itineraries from the group of itineraries and calculate their combined weight until an end condition is reached. The end condition includes one or more of when a calculated combined weight for an itinerary exceeds a predetermined threshold, when a predetermined time has elapsed, when a combined weight for each of a predetermined number of itineraries has been calculated, and when a combined weight for each itinerary in the group of itineraries has been calculated. The first module chooses an itinerary from either a list of all of the itineraries or a sub-set of the itineraries.

Abstract: A method of scheduling jobs in a printing machine includes choosing configuration and selection policies and model and store traversers from a library based on a model of the machine, traversing the model of the machine to prepare and store a list of valid itineraries based on the configuration policies and traversing the stored list of valid itineraries to locate a valid itinerary to process a job. An itinerary is a schedule of the printer modules and capabilities through which a sheet must pass to perform a print job. The step of traversing the model of the machine includes evaluating all possible itineraries to preparing the list of valid itineraries based on the configuration policies and storing the list in a memory. The step of traversing the stored list of valid itineraries to locate the valid itinerary to process a job includes evaluating the list based on the selection policies and the job description.
