Abstract: A communications network includes a central communication unit, an optical transport medium, and a plurality of remote radio base stations. The central communication unit generates, within a selected millimeter-wave frequency band, a plurality of adjacent two-tone optical frequency conjugate pairs. Each conjugate pair includes a first optical tone carrying a modulated data signal, and a second optical tone carrying a reference local oscillator signal. The optical transport medium transports the plurality of two-tone conjugate pairs to the plurality of radio base stations, and each base station receives at least one conjugate pair at an optical front end thereof. The optical front end separates the first optical tone from the second optical tone, and converts the first optical tone into a millimeter-wave radio frequency electrical signal.

Abstract: A method of improving game development is disclosed. A game model graph of a video game is created or modified using visual scripting nodes. The game model graph represents one or more game systems and/or one or more economies. The nodes are linked to game resources from the video game. Player profiles describing a plurality of different player types are accessed to be used during a simulation of the game model graph. One or more additional simulations are performed. Each of the one or more additional simulations includes executing the game model graph using the player profiles and the game resources. Data is extracted from the one or more additional simulations to determine behavior of the one or more game systems, the one or more game economies, and/or the resources within the video game over time and across the player types.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for use of spectrum emission masks to allow for two or more devices to coexist on a common communication bandwidth. The spectrum emission masks may include one, two, or three interior attenuation regions that, when implemented by a transmitting device, significantly reduce the transmission power in the interior attenuation regions. The interior attenuation regions may transmit to interior channels that separate one, two, or three outer channels of a plurality of channels spanning the common communication bandwidth.

Abstract: An assessment tool for assessing signaling ingress and small cell placement within a communication network is contemplated. The assessment tool may include capability sufficient for assessing signaling ingress associated with radio frequency (RF) signaling attenuating, influencing or otherwise interfering with other signaling being transmitted over a communication network.

Abstract: A method for transmitting data via a coaxial electrical cable includes (a) converting symbols of each input data stream of a plurality of parallel input data streams from digital form to analog form, (b) individually filtering symbols of each input data stream, (c) transforming symbols of each input data stream from a first frequency-domain to a first time-domain, to generate parallel first time-domain samples, (d) converting the first time-domain samples to a serial multi-carrier signal, and (e) injecting the multi-carrier signal onto the coaxial electrical cable.
