Abstract: A system for signaling an application when a requested data rate and Quality of Service cannot be achieved using OFDM wireless data transmission, and the application proceeds by either renegotiating QoS and data rate, or waiting until they requested rate and QoS are met.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for facilitating the streaming of digital media content to a remote device. In one exemplary embodiment, a translation layer translates markup language code and/or scripting language code (e.g., code that complies with the HTML5/W3C standard) to comply with a streaming protocol (e.g., a streaming protocol specified by the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)) to facilitate streaming of digital content (e.g., digital video, digital audio, or digital images) to remote devices (e.g., a digital television, digital audio player, game console, etc.). In some embodiments, a translation layer translates streaming protocol events at a remote device into other events (e.g., events specified in the HTML5 standard) at a local computing device. Local/remote playback switching logic can also facilitate switching between local playback and remote playback.

Abstract: A remote media server provides a resource identifier to a digital media controller. A digital media controller passes this resource identifier to a digital media renderer. The digital media renderer launches an application that processes the resource identifier to access the remote media server and play back the media. Playback is responsive to controls from the digital media controller. The digital media renderer can play back media identified by the digital media controller, but that is encoded and protected in a manner specific to the digital media renderer. The digital media controller can shut down or become dormant to save battery power without affecting playback by the digital media renderer. By providing the information about available applications from the digital media renderer to the digital media controller, the digital media controller can reliably send resource identifiers for which applications are available the digital media renderer.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments significantly increase the power and flexibility of public access network roaming systems. This is accomplished in one or more embodiments by requiring no new software or hardware to be installed by the end user. Further, an end user's service provider can be automatically determined. If a pre-negotiated network sharing agreement does not exist between the network provider and service provider, a network sharing agreement can be dynamically facilitated, even if the network provider and the service provider have no prior business relationship; while protecting the business and financial interests of both providers. Embodiments allow for a clearinghouse for revenue assurance. Embodiments contemplate a scalable, distributable system. Embodiments allow for variable access charges among and within venues and a wide variety of service plans for end users. Embodiments remain backward compatible with legacy systems for maximum flexibility.
