Abstract: The present patent application is directed to a smart signage system. In one aspect, the smart signage system includes at least a signage device; at least a signage display being connected to the at least one signage device and configured to display contents stored in the signage device; and a plurality of client devices being in wireless communication with the at least one signage device. Each client device is configured to recognize a gesture from a user in correspondence with a target content displayed on the signage display, and thereby to acquire a file of information associated with the target content from the signage device.

Abstract: A cross-layer design architecture is provided for logical superposition coded (SPC) modulation for last-hop wireless data, aiming to overcome the effects of multi-user channel diversity in wireless video multicast. The proposed approach generates a logical SPC modulated signal by mapping successively refined information bits onto layered modulation through dynamic energy allocation and phase keying assignment, which mimics the superposition process for multiple modulated signals in convention hardware-based SPC modulation. At the receiver end, the received logical SPC signal is decoded by implementing a software-based approach on common demodulators without going through the signal-interference cancellation (SIC) process that is necessary in the conventional approach.
