Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for determining a Zone identifier (ID), Zone Center, and negative acknowledgement (NACK) ranges. Included are operations and means at a receiving user equipment (UE) to determine a current geographic location (GLL) of the receiving UE, and select a Zone ID based on a two-dimensional (2-D) lookup into an indexed array with the current GLL, the indexed array storing Zone data for one or more geographic Zones. The Zone data for each geographic Zone may be indexed according to geographic position, and include a Zone ID, Zone center, and one or more NACK ranges, each NACK range corresponding with a geographic Zone disposed about the geographic Zone corresponding to the Zone ID. Operations further include performing a NACK operation based on the selected Zone ID and a NACK range.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining content with reduces round trip times is provided. The method may comprise transmitting, from a device, a primary content item request to a proxy server to obtain a primary content item using a first protocol, receiving the primary content item from the remote proxy using the first protocol, generating one or more secondary content item requests for one or more secondary content items associated with the primary content item, transmitting the one or more secondary content item requests to the proxy server using a second protocol, wherein the second protocol decouples the one or more secondary content item requests from an acknowledgement of receipt of the one or more secondary content item requests, and receiving at least one of the one or more secondary content items from the proxy server using the second protocol.

Abstract: A method for determining a height (i.e., elevation above ground level) at which a communication device having an electronic processor and a sensor is located may include obtaining a reference height of a first location, the reference height being a known height relative to ground level, the reference height having a corresponding reference pressure; obtaining, with the sensor, a pressure measurement at a second location; and calculating, with the electronic processor, a height at the second location based on the pressure measurement, the reference height, and the reference pressure. The height may also be based on temperature data, location data, motion data, and/or the like.

Abstract: In a digital cinema system, a method for creating a playlist is claimed. At least one image program and at least one audio program is displayed. Each image program comprises encoded data representing image information, and each audio program comprising encoded data representing audio information. Responsive to image programs and audio programs being specified, compatibility of selected image programs and selected audio programs is verifying.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of storing trailer data and feature data on at least one storage medium. The method includes the steps of partitioning each storage medium into first portions and second portions. The compressed trailer data is stored onto at least one of the first portions. The compressed feature data is stored onto at least one of the second portions.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed allow assigning programs for presentation in a digital cinema system. In one embodiment, a scheduler 180 is implemented to generate a schedule in accordance to which decoding modules 140 control playback of data for presentation in the digital cinema systems. The decoding module 140 may operate in an automatic mode and/or manual mode. In automatic mode, the decoding module 140 controls playback based on the schedule, without user intervention. In manual mode, the decoding module 140 cues the user at the appropriate times to control playback based on the schedule.

Abstract: An apparatus for the storage of a first group and a second group of data on at least one storage medium is claimed. The apparatus comprises a storage space allocator configured to partition the first storage medium into a first segment and a second segment. A comparer is configured to compare the space needed to store the first group of data with the amount of space available on the first segment and to compare the space needed to store the second group of data with the amount of space available on the second segment. A separator is configured to separate the first group of data into a first primary portion and a first secondary portion if the space needed to store the first group of data is greater than the amount of space available on the first segment, and to separate the second group of data into a second primary portion and a second secondary portion if the space needed to store the second group of data is greater than the amount of space available on the second segment.
