Abstract: Devices and methods for determining a wideband Channel Quality Indicator (wbCQI) and a plurality of sub-band Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs) for reporting to a network, including deriving a first metric for a wideband and each of a plurality of sub-bands from a received signal; converting the wideband first metric and the plurality of sub-band first metrics to a wideband CQI and a plurality of sub-band CQIs; determining a skewness of the plurality of sub-band CQIs to the wideband CQI by comparing each of the plurality of sub-band CQIs to the wideband CQI; modifying the wideband CQI when a negative skewness is determined and recomputing the plurality of sub-band CQIs based on the modified wideband CQI; and providing the modified wideband CQI and the plurality of recomputed sub-band CQIs to the network.

Abstract: A correction circuit (200) for providing at least one correction parameter (206) for correcting channel state information includes: a first input (201) for receiving at least one transport performance indicator (202) indicating a transport performance of data received over a radio channel; a second input (203) for receiving channel state information (204); and an output (205) for providing the at least one correction parameter (206) based on a relationship between the at least one transport performance indicator (202) and the channel state information (204).

Abstract: A method of assigning a device ID of a device-to-device network to a mobile station includes: selecting a subset from a set of parameters from which the device ID is determined, each parameter in the set having a number of bits for complete representation, the subset comprising a number Nd2d of parameters used to determine the device ID; determining a number L of device ID bits to represent the device ID; dividing the L device ID bits into a group of l1 indicator bits and a group of l2 identifier bits, wherein l2 is the difference between the number L of device ID bits and the number l1 of bits allocated to the group of indicator bits; assigning bit values to the l1 indicator bits; allocating a number Ljp of the l2 identifier bits to each of the parameters in the subset; and assigning bit values the l2 identifier bits.

Abstract: A method and system for managing scheduled events facilitates the planning of a tour of activities. Customer information and appointment information is received. A tour of activities is planned based on the customer information, the appointment information, and planning drivers. A status is generated for the tour of activities, a particular activity, or a particular customer, and a summary is generated.

Abstract: A method and system of graphically displaying relationships among a hierarchy of descriptors facilitates an easy-to-read depiction of the relationships. Descriptors are grouped into a first, second, and third set of descriptors. These three sets of descriptors are assigned places in a hierarchy. A first set of relationships is defined between the first set of descriptors and the second set of descriptors. A second set of relationships is defined between the second set of descriptors and the third set of descriptors. The first, second, and third sets of descriptors are graphically displayed as first, second, and third descriptor lists. The first and second sets of relationships are graphically displayed as first and second relationship grids.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing navigation in an application may have a menu system that allow a user to see a menu with options for most or all of the possible navigable contexts without first displaying an intermediate context. A user may then go directly to a desired context rather than taking a circuitous route via intermediate contexts.
