  • System and method for scaling simulations and games
    Patent number: 8443350
    Abstract: A system and method for modeling simulation and game artificial intelligence as a data management problem are described. A scripting language provides game designers and players with a data-driven artificial intelligence scheme for customizing behavior for individual agents. Query processing and indexing techniques efficiently execute large numbers of agent scripts, thus providing a framework for games with a large number of agents.
    Type: Grant

  • Wireless communications system including an originator base station capable of notifying of channel resource reservation status
    Publication number: 20050286545
    Abstract: A wireless communications system including a network application server; and a base station to receive an expedited request packet from a subscriber unit by way of a radio frequency interface, attempt to reserve channel resources for a traffic channel to communicate with the subscriber unit, and notify the network application server of whether the channel resources have been reserved. The base station may notify the network application server by marking the expedited request packet received from the subscriber unit, and sending the marked expedited request packet to the network application server.

  • Wireless communications system including a target base station capable of notifying of channel resource reservation status
    Publication number: 20050259610
    Abstract: A wireless communications system including a network application server to transmit an expedited request packet; and a base station to receive the expedited request packet from the network application server, attempt to reserve channel resources for a traffic channel to communicate with the SU, and notify the network application server of whether the channel resources have been reserved. The base station may notify the network application server by transmitting the expedited request packet to the SU, receiving a response to the expedited request packet from the SU, marking the response to indicate whether the channel resources have been reserved, and sending the marked response to the network application server.
