Patent number: 8509330Abstract: Time-varying and frequency-selective channels in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) network are estimated by first storing, in a buffer at a receiver, a received signal corresponding to a set of pilot tones of a set of OFDM symbols. The pilot tones are predetermined and inserted in frequency subcarriers and time slots of the OFDM symbol. A covariance matrix of the received signal is estimated. A diagonal matrix is estimated based on the covariance matrix and a variance of noise in the received signal. The diagonal matrix indicates delays of non-zero paths in a time domain. A channel impulse response (CIR) for each OFDM symbol is estimated using the diagonal matrix, and the received signal. Then, the CIR is transformed to the frequency domain to obtain the channel frequency response (CFR).Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Ramesh Annavajjala, Hobin Kim

Patent number: 8320386Abstract: Disclosed is a method for aggregating parallel data links connecting two end-point devices into a logical link. If one of the parallel data links is a multi-point link, then an end-point device can still access that link to route traffic to an end station on the link (that is, to a device other than the other end-point device of the logical data link). In the terminology of this disclosure, the logical aggregated link is accessed through an “aggregated port” on an end-point device, while the constituent multi-point link is accessed directly through a “singleton port.” By assigning a smaller cost to the aggregated port than to the singleton port, embodiments avoid creating routing loops. In some embodiments, the aggregation is performed at Layer 2 of the Open System Interconnection seven-layer protocol model. Then, the methods of the present invention work well with existing IEEE 802.1 bridging architectures and protocols.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2009Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Qi Bao, George A.

Patent number: 8000285Abstract: In one embodiment, a reverse link overhead channel power gain for an access terminal is determined based on the service activity of the access terminal. In association therewith, or independent thereof, the reverse link overhead channel power gain may be dynamically adjusted based on the services activated and/or deactivated. The dynamic adjustment may also take into account the load on the system.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2006Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Pi-Chun Chen, Qinqing Zhang

Patent number: 7995522Abstract: A base station and a router are interactively connected by a multilink group which transmits VoIP packets and a multilink group which transmits data packets other than VoIP packets. The base station and the router split transmission lines by referencing the ToS area of received packets and transmit only VoIP packets by way of a dedicated line. In this way, VoIP packets can be transmitted without being affected by other data packets, and the quality of VoIP can be warranted on the mobile network.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2008Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Shuji Otsubo, Tomoya Yokota, Kingo Miyoshi

Patent number: 7965722Abstract: Multiplexing of information from a plurality of information flows into fixed-length packets such as, but not limited to, MPEG packets allows efficient utilization of bandwidth and also can be used to reduce transmission latency. In addition, utilizing MPEG packets and transport streams for octet multiplexing allows the packets carrying octet-multiplexed data to easily be integrated with other MPEG packets for other services that are commonly found in cable transmission networks of all coax, hybrid fiber coax, and/or all fiber. The multiplexing/demultiplexing of octets using MPEG packets generally is described by mappings that specify the use of octets in MPEG packets. Changes to allocations in a map generally should be propagated in a way that reliably ensures that both the transmitter and receiver have a consistent view of the octet mappings.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2008Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Inventors: Richard J. Futch, Thai-Bao H. Kien, Bin Yang, Christopher J. Topazi

Patent number: 7957429Abstract: In order to increase the efficiency of large-capacity transmission, the continuity of divided signals generated by dividing a multiplexed signal is maintained and the original large-capacity multiplexed signal is restored. A signal dividing section divides a multiplexed signal to generate a plurality of divided signals in the STS or STM transmission interface format. A guarantee information adding section adds guarantee information for guaranteeing the continuity of the divided signals to each of the divided signals to generate transmission signals. A signal sending section sends the transmission signals via a transmission line in the transmission interface format. A signal receiving section receives the transmission signals. A signal restoring section restores the multiplexed signal by constructing the divided signals on the basis of the guarantee information.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2007Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Koji Takeguchi, Ryuchi Moriya, Nobuhiro Rikitake, Hideki Matsui, Hirotaka Morita

Patent number: 7948295Abstract: A demultiplexer includes an input terminal for providing an input signal, a plurality of output terminals for outputting the input signal, and a switching circuit coupled among the input terminal and the plurality of output terminals, and outputting the input signal selectively from the plurality of output terminals according to a plurality of control signals provided to a plurality of control terminals. For miniaturizing the demultiplexer, the switching circuit includes one or more switch elements connected between the input terminal and each of the output terminals in series, wherein at least two of the switch elements coupled to different output terminals are simultaneously switched in response to one control signal from the plurality of control terminals.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2009Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: Chimei Innolux CorporationInventor: Keitaro Yamashita

Patent number: 7944943Abstract: A channel inverse multiplexer/multiplexer (IMUX/MUX) (14a) of a MAC sublayer (14) of a UTRAN RNC (11) for providing to a UE (18) traffic (communication signals including in general both control and user data) at a higher rate than the UE can accept over a single channel. The channel IMUX/MUX performs inverse multiplexing of traffic for downlink, and multiplexing of traffic on uplink, and does so in a way that is transparent to all other layers/entities of the UTRAN (11 17) and to the UE (18).Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2009Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Spyder Navigations L.L.C.Inventors: Sami Kekki, Jari Isokangas, Woonhee Hwang, Sinikka Sarkkinen
