  • Patent number: 8509821
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method that enables a radio access network (RAN) to page more mobile stations concurrently. By reducing the size of the individual page record, more page records can fit within a general page message (GPM), and thus more mobile stations can receive page messages. One method of reducing the size of an individual page record is to reduce the size of the terminal IDs that page records carry. Currently, terminal IDs are globally unique, but they can be shortened if replaced with locally unique IDs. These locally unique IDs are unique for only mobile stations in a given paging area, unique for only mobile stations assigned to a given paging channel time slot, and/or unique for only mobile stations in a subgroup of mobile stations assigned to a given paging channel time slot. The number of mobile stations in any of these groups is smaller than the number of mobile stations in the global network.

  • Patent number: 8130948
    Abstract: A method and system enables the selective addressing of groups of broadcast receivers within part of a satellite footprint. It uses two satellites having a common transmission band to transmit respective signals, and at receivers in the footprint the phases of the signals received from the two satellites are compared. This phase difference is dependent upon receiver location, but by measuring phase difference no absolute timing or phase measurement is required. A common key is generated at the receivers in a certain area. The output of selected receivers is fed back to the broadcast control centre and is used to encode the location-based services for that area. Preferably the operation is conducted on multiple frequencies and in multiple rounds of such frequencies. A multibit keyword can be directly generated at the receivers by use of a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and combining its outputs for different rounds.

  • Patent number: 7489709
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling a local area network wiring structure to simultaneously carry digital data and analog telephone signals on the same transmission medium. It is particularly applicable to a network in star topology, in which remote data units (e.g. personal computers) are each connected to a hub through a cable comprising at least two pairs of conductors, providing a data communication path in each direction. Modules at each end of the cable provide a phantom path for telephony (voice band) signals between a telephone near the data set and a PBX, through both conductor pairs in a phantom circuit arrangement. All such communication paths function simultaneously and without mutual interference. The modules comprise simple and inexpensive passive circuit components.

  • Publication number: 20020191536
    Abstract: The invention is an algorithmic method, or a computer implementation thereof, which synthesizes connectivities. In its prototypical form, the invention computes pairwise channels for an arbitrary number of nodes, minimizing both latency and the cost of channels, such that all, or nearly all, healthy nodes remain connected, despite a prescribed number or proportion of failures in channels and/or nodes. The invention also solves a similar problem, where minimum latency is replaced or augmented by maximum throughput. In general, channels may bear a non-uniform cost, nodes are assigned a value, each channel or node has a corresponding latency and capacity, and fault patterns may be probabilistic or deterministic. In particular, the invention optimizes the connectivity of large numbers of computers, perhaps dynamically self-organizing.

  • Patent number: 5943345
    Abstract: An AM multiplexing broadcast apparatus multiplexes a digital modulated signal independent of an AM modulated signal, in the same frequency band as the AM modulated signal. A sum signal is amplified by a first amplifier. An inverse of the sum signal is obtained by an inverse calculator. A divider divides this inverse signal by a magnification factor of the first amplifier. An output of the divider and a digital modulated signal in the same frequency band as an AM modulated signal are multiplied by a first multiplier. A carrier generated by a carrier generator is phase-modulated by a phase modulator. Outputs of the phase modulator and first multiplier are synthesized and thereafter amplified by a second amplifier. Outputs of the first and second amplifiers are multiplied by a second multiplier and transmitted from an antenna.
