Abstract: A power control device (18), for use with a WPAN host device (10), and a method (30) for supporting seamless mobility in transferring content between a WPAN-enabled device and the host device, such as between a Bluetooth-enabled information source and a Bluetooth-enabled host device. The host device includes a WPAN module (14), an on/off control module (16) and the power control device or module (18). The power control module (18) includes a power source (24) for powering a controller (22) that instructs the on/off control module to turn on the host device if the host device is turned off and if a WPAN information source has a WPAN master/slave relationship with the host device. The controller also can instruct the on/off control module to turn off the host device if the WPAN information source no longer has a WPAN master/slave relationship with the host device.

Abstract: A method and system (500) for optimizing transcoder resources in a multimedia session is disclosed. The method includes receiving (202) one or more SDP offers. The method further includes filtering (204) out media types from each of the one or more SDP offers based on a rating range. Further, the method includes selecting (206) one of the media types from each of the one or more SDP offers. The method further includes allocating (208) resources of one or more transcoders for transcoding the one of the media types.

Abstract: A transcoder (40) includes a method for assigning transcoder channel elements (43, 44). The transcoding assignment method selects a DSP (60-75) selects a DSP (channel element) of the required type which has available channel elements (98). Further, the transcoding assignment method may dynamically reassign (118) DSPs from one channel element type to another.
