Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology exploits modulated coded impulses over a wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance for digital data transmission. Today's leading edge modulated sinusoidal wave wireless communication standards and systems achieve power efficiencies of 50 nJ/bit employing narrowband signaling schemes and traditional RF transceiver architectures. However, such designs severely limit the achievable energy efficiency, especially at lower data rates such as below 1 Mbps. Further, it is important that peak power consumption is supportable by common battery or energy harvesting technologies and long term power consumption neither leads to limited battery lifetimes or an inability for alternate energy sources to sustain them. Accordingly, it would be beneficial for next generation applications to exploit inventive transceiver structures and communication schemes in order to achieve the sub nJ per bit energy efficiencies required by next generation applications.

Abstract: Embodiments include an automatic set top box placement (STB) process and system that balances video playback needs against the performance characteristics of individual devices and the communications system. For video playback, this involves maintaining required sustained data rates needed to support video of various levels of quality and resolution and matching these against the capacity of the Wi-Fi system in terms of channel capacity and gateway/Access Point to STB connection quality. An intelligent network controller calculates the STB total airtime. Each STB is associated with a Service Set Identifier (SSID) that the controller uses to identify the STB clients. The controller calculates the End-to-End PHY rates for each client. The total STB airtime can then be calculated and compared to the default allocation for the STBs. Recommendations regarding moving STBs, gateways, and or satellite/booster devices can then be provided to the user.
