Abstract: Cognitive, emotional and/or affective state information may be used for adaptive gaming, advertisement insertion delivery timing, driver or pilot assistance, education, advertisement selection, product and/or content suggestions, and/or video chat applications. A human machine interface (HMI) may be generated. A content placement in the HMI may be managed. Sensor data from one or more sensors may be received. A timing for delivery of content may be determined. The timing for delivery of the content may be determined based on at least one of the determined cognitive state of the user or the determined affective state of the user. The content may be selected for delivery to the user based on at least one of the cognitive state of the user or the affective state of the user. The content may include an advertisement.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for predicting user browsing behavior and developing a personalized pre-fetching strategy. In some embodiments, a user equipment entity identifies web pages that are linked from a page being visited by a user, and, based on a user model, determines pre-fetch weights for the linked pages. The user equipment then pre-fetches the web pages with weights above a pre-fetch threshold. In some embodiments, the pre-fetch strategy is generated by or with the assistance of a separate network entity, which may be a distributed logical entity. Policies may also be enforced, such as avoiding pre-fetching while a user is on the telephone, or avoiding pre-fetching of pages containing video.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing the configuration of a networked application, such as a networked multi-player game. An optimization server determines a configuration of a networked application, such as information on a mapping between users and application servers. The optimization server receives a plurality of state parameters, such as loading parameters and latency parameters. The optimization server applies a quality of experience policy to determine whether to change the configuration of the network. The optimization server operates to send instructions to effect changes to the configuration of the networked application.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for conducting reverse auctions to improve the quality of experience (QoE) of networked applications, such as multi-player networked games. From among plurality of participants in a networked application, a participant with a low quality of experience is identified. A service is identified that is predicted to improve the participant's quality of experience, and a plurality of service providers are identified who are capable of providing the identified network service. An auction server then conducts a reverse auction for the identified network service. The network service may be, for example, an application service or a connectivity service.

Abstract: A CDMA communication system includes a signal processor which encodes voice and nonvoice signals into data at various rates, e.g. data rates of 8 kbps, 16 kbps, 32 kbps, or 64 kbps as I and Q signals. The signal processor selects a specific data rate depending upon the type of signal, or in response to a set data rate. When the signal is received and demodulated, the baseband signal is at the chip level. Both the I and Q components of the signal are despread using the conjugate of the pn sequence used during spreading, returning the signal to the symbol level. Carrier offset correction is performed at the symbol level. A lower overall processing speed is therefore required.

Abstract: A plurality of data streams are convolutionally encoded. Each convolutionally encoded data stream has a particular data rate. The particular data rate of each data stream is adjusted so that an adjusted data rate of that data stream matches a data rate of a CDMA transmission. When the particular data rate of one of the data streams is below the data rate of the CDMA transmission, data of the one data stream is repeated to match the data rate of the CDMA transmission. The adjusted data rate data streams is transmitted as the CDMA transmission. The adjusted data streams are transmitted together in the CDMA transmission and the CDMA transmission is quadrature modulated.

Abstract: A subscriber cluster unit for a wireless telecommunication system provides a wireless interface with a base station for a plurality of subscriber units. The cluster unit has a plurality of frequency agile modems for processing wireless communications with the base station and a plurality of subscriber line circuits, each for providing a telecommunication connection with a subscriber unit. A control processor assigns a modem for each communication between the base station and a selected subscriber unit which is coupled to one of the line circuits and associates that line circuit with the assigned modem for that communication. Thus, a subscriber unit coupled with any of the line circuits can communicate with the base station via any of the modems.

Abstract: A spread spectrum communication station simultaneously receives multiple data channels on the same frequency spectrum and at data rates which may individually vary. A determination is made of signal quality based on signal to noise ratio (SNR) the channels by comparing a forward error corrected sample with a corresponding delayed sample. The comparison of the delayed despread data with the decoded data provides the indication of SNR.

Abstract: A modem interface transfers data between a high data rate interface and a wireless interface. The modem interface has a plurality of parallel data highways. Each data highway has frames with time slots for transferring data. The plurality of highways outputs data to the high data rate interface and the wireless interface in selected time slots. At least one of the data highways has an input configured to receive data from the high data rate interface in selected time slots. At least one of the data highways has an input configured to receive data from the wireless interface in selected time slots. A processor controls the transfer of data between the plurality of highways.

Abstract: A method for simultaneously receiving and processing multiple channels of data at independent rates which share a same frequency spectrum begins with receiving a multichannel data communication signal having multiple data channels at independent data rates on the same frequency spectrum. Next, selected channels of data of the received signal are separated and the data rate for each channel is identified. Then each separated channel of the received signal is decoded at an assigned data rate using a common decoding memory. Lastly, each separated channel is directed to a different decoding means and each decoding means is assigned a data rate responsive to the identification of data rates when the channels were separated.

Abstract: A wireless transmitter comprises an input configured to receive a data signal. A mixer mixes the data signal with a correction signal producing a corrected signal. The correction signal changes a phase in the data signal to compensate for a measured phase error at a desired receiver. A modulator modulates the corrected signal to radio frequency as a radio frequency signal. An antenna radiates the radio frequency signal.
