  • Publication number: 20120026040
    Abstract: A method including calculating a parameter for controlling a main lobe of a radiation pattern of an antenna array, the calculation using a direction of a location relative to the antenna array, the direction determined from information including a position of the location; determining a parameter for controlling the main lobe of the radiation pattern of the antenna array from a signal received at the antenna array from the location; and determining an offset using the parameter calculated from the determined direction and the parameter determined from the received signal.

  • Publication number: 20090262793
    Abstract: Insight and rules are needed for how to handle scheduling in a way meaningful for network operation is explained, such as what transmissions can be delayed for scheduling and which cannot be delayed for scheduling, and how grouped transmissions can be used for interference avoidance. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a solution to these and other problems. In certain embodiments of the present invention, for example, users are grouped according to criteria which may be indirectly related to interference but are nevertheless different from interference. Thus, for example, certain embodiments of the present invention use expected receive or transmit signal strength or use MCS as grouping criteria.

  • Patent number: 7166770
    Abstract: This invention describes novel DNA sequences that function as promoters of transcription of associated nucleotide sequences. More specifically, this invention describes DNA sequences conferring constitutive expression to an associated nucleotide sequence. The invention also describes recombinant sequences containing such promoter sequences. The said recombinant DNA sequences may be used to create transgenic plants, but especially plants expressing a nucleotide sequence of interest at all times and in most tissues and organs.
