Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a noise cancellation apparatus and method. The noise cancellation apparatus includes a main control unit and a noise cancellation processing circuit. The main control unit determines a noise cancellation parameter based on a noise cancellation level index or a feature value for determining a matching degree between a headset and an ear canal of a user. The noise cancellation processing unit obtains an inverse phase noise of an ambient noise based on the noise cancellation parameter. After the inverse phase noise is mixed with a played downlink audio signal, the ambient noise can be canceled. In addition, because the noise cancellation parameter is determined from a preset noise cancellation parameter library based on the received or autonomously determined noise cancellation level index, instead of being uniformly configured, a noise cancellation level can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving a noise cancellation effect and user experience.

Abstract: A classifying-synthesizing transmission method of multi-user feedback information at a base station. At the base station, a classifier (554) classifies users into a plurality of kinds on the basis of different efficiencies at the time when the base station transmits information to the users. On the basis of the characteristics of synthetic data, a compressor (555) compresses the information synthesized, to reduce the quantity of information to be transmitted. A synthesizer (556) again synthesizes the compressed data of different user kinds. An encoder (557) adds redundant information to the feedback information to be transmitted. A transmitter (524) transmits the encoded feedback information to all users. As a result, the quantity of communication of a downward feedback channel can be drastically reduced to spare the use of radio resources.

Modulating/encoding parts (303) modulate and encode the respective corresponding data substreams. A number nT of transmission antennas (304) transmit the data substreams.

Abstract: A receiving apparatus that can effectively use spectra to improve the interference resistance and the information transmission efficiency. In this apparatus, a channel estimating part (1006) uses a pilot received from the transmitting end to perform a channel estimation for each of subcarrier groups. A subcarrier group performance analyzer (1011) calculates, based on a channel estimation result, the SIR value of each subcarrier group. A control command generating part (1012) uses the SIR value of each subcarrier group to generate the puncture information and rate of the subcarrier group, then stores the generated puncture information and rate so as to perform an appropriate process when an S/P converting part (1005) performs an S/P conversion for next received information, and then feeds the generated puncture information and rate back to a transmitting apparatus.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for encapsulated polymeric gels swollen with nonaqueous reactive materials are provided. The methods include gel synthesis, swelling of a gel precursor with a first nonaqueous reactive material, and encapsulation of the swollen gel with a second nonaqueous reactive material. Gels precursors may be synthesized from crosslinking polymers, or alternatively, may be formed by crosslinking and polymerizing a monomer starting material. An accelerator may be utilized to facilitate swelling of the gel precursor with the first nonaqueous reactive material. Foams and composites may also be swollen with the first nonaqueous reactive material. The swollen gel is then contacted with a second nonaqueous reactive material such that an encapsulation layer is formed thereby. The encapsulated gels may be stored for subsequent use.
