  • Home Base Station Position Determination
    Publication number: 20080220795
    Abstract: In some aspects, a method includes receiving at a home base station broadcast signals from a broadcaster, the broadcast signals including at least one of audio content and visual content. The method also includes determining a location of the home base station based on the received broadcast signals and configuring the home base station to send signals to and receive signals from one or more mobile devices.

  • Systems and methods for wireless communications
    Publication number: 20040156449
    Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods that include, inter alia, wireless communication systems that integrate wireless receivers and transmitters with host computer platforms and that include a data access channel that delivers into the memory space of an application program digital data that is representative of a base band modulated signal. Accordingly, these systems can employ wideband digitization of an incoming signal, such as an RF signal, direct the digitized data into the application memory space of a general purpose workstation, and allow an application program operating on the general purpose work station to perform the digital signal processing that obtains the information encoded within the digitized signal.
