Patent number: 7826439Abstract: A method of transmitting feedback information is disclosed. More specifically, a mobile station (MS) receives a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) which includes a Medium Access Channel (MAC) header from a base station (BS). Thereafter, the MS determines from the received MAC header whether an extended subheader group appears after the MAC header, and also identifies a feedback request extended subheader from the extended subheader group. Lastly, the MS transmits the feedback information according to the feedback request extended subheader.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2009Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Bin Chul Ihm, Jin Young Chun, Yong Suk Jin

Patent number: 7769927Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for acceleration initiated association. A peripheral knock module receives a first knock command from a first accelerometer of a peripheral device. The first knock command comprises a plurality of peripheral time stamps for a plurality of peripheral device accelerations. A peripheral identifier module creates a peripheral identifier comprising time interval values of time intervals between the peripheral time stamps. A broadcast module broadcasts a discovery signal with a signal identifier that comprises the peripheral identifier.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2007Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Justin Tyler Dubs, James Joseph Thrasher, Jennifer Greenwood Zawacki

Patent number: 7411985Abstract: A low complexity packet loss concealment method for use in voice-over-IP speech transmission calculates a cross-correlation of previous speech data to estimate the pitch period of the previous speech when speech frames have been lost. A tap interval used to calculate the cross-correlation is dynamically adapted, thereby reducing the computational complexity of the process. In addition, the pitch period estimation is bypassed completely when it is determined not to be necessary, as a result of the speech being unvoiced or silence. A waveform “bending” operation is performed into the current frame without inserting any algorithmic delay into each frame.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2003Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Minkyu Lee, James William McGowan

Patent number: 7376209Abstract: A method and an apparatus for scaling demodulated data symbols contained in a packet to generate scaled log-likelihood ratios for Turbo decoding are disclosed. A packet consists of one or more subpackets depending on the type of packet. Each subpacket is identified by a subpacket identification number. The payload size of the packet and the subpacket identification number may be determined by decoding a reverse rate indicator (RRI) channel. A scale factor which is associated with a specific subpacket identification number and a specific payload size results in a performance measure that is closest to an expected performance measure. The scale factor is used for scaling the demodulated data symbols to generate scaled log-likelihood ratios for Turbo decoding.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2003Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: June Namgoong, Jun Ma, Mingxi Fan, Naga Bhushan, Peter Black
