Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for reducing adjacent channel power in wireless communication systems. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a system for digitally and adaptively pre-distorting a signal that includes applying a correction to the signal before it is applied to the input of an amplifier such that the correction is equal and opposite to anticipated distortion produced by the amplifier. Thus, the correction and the amplifier distortion cancel one another resulting in a system with an overall linear transfer characteristic. In these circumstances, the adjacent channel power is desirably reduced.

Abstract: Methods, data servers, signal and destination device for optimizing asynchronous delivery of a data content. Once it is determined that more than one instances of the data content are asynchronous, attempts are made to merge them into a fewer number of synchronized instances. It is done by providing a synchronization instance before delivering the synchronized instance and the synchronization instance of the data content. The synchronization instance may be consumed first while the synchronized instance is stored in cache. Thereafter, the synchronized instance is consumed from the cache upon completion of the synchronization instance. Alternatively, the synchronization instance may have an accelerated bit rate and be consumed while it is being received and stored in cache. The synchronized instance is thereafter consumed upon completion of the synchronization instance.
