Abstract:
Systems and methods presented herein provide latency reduction in wireless service through a communication link. In one embodiment, a method includes linking a modem to a Modem Termination System (MTS) via the communication link and detecting, at the modem, a message from a wireless service link indicating that a user equipment (UE) has data to transmit to a Mobile Network Operator (MNO). The method also includes requesting a data transfer from the modem to the MTS in response to detecting the message from the wireless service link and processing the request from the modem at the MTS. The method also includes granting the request while the UE is negotiating with the wireless service link to transmit the data of the UE. Systems and methods presented herein provide for reducing latency in wireless service through a communication link comprising a virtual Modem Termination System (vMTS) and a modem. The communication link is coupled with a virtualized wireless link.
Abstract:
A system for protecting software from copying wherein the software to be protected is placed on the computer system in two parts. A first part (120) is stored in non-volatile storage, such as a hard disk or floppy disk within the computer system (100), and a second part is stored and executed in a "hardware key (122)", which is attached to the computer system (100). The second part is stored in volatile RAM (206) and will be erased when electrical power is removed from the hardware key (122), or when the software stops execution. This requires that the second part of the software be reloaded each time the hardware key (122) is powered up. Typically, the second part of the software will be loaded from a network (130), or from a cable network, thus reloading of the second part into the hardware key (122) is a trivial matter, so long as the user is an active subscriber to the network (130) or cable network.
Abstract:
A method of modulating a series of input digital symbols of a first modulation scheme is provided. The method is implemented by a transmitter and includes receiving a sequential series of samples of the digital symbols in a first domain of the first modulation scheme. The first domain is one of the time domain and the frequency domain. The method further includes determining a dual of the first modulation scheme. The dual has a second modulation scheme in a second domain that is different from the first domain the second domain is the other of the time domain and the frequency domain. The method further includes applying a 90 degree rotational operation to the second modulation scheme to generate a rotational modulation format, modulating the series of digital symbols with the generated rotational modulation format, and outputting the modulated series of digital symbols to a receiver.

The optical hub includes an intelligent configuration unit configured to monitor and multiplex at least two different optical signals into a single multiplexed heterogeneous signal. The optical distribution center is configured to individually separate the at least two different optical signals from the multiplexed heterogeneous signal. The at least one fiber segment connects the optical hub and the optical distribution center, and is configured to receive the multiplexed heterogeneous signal from the optical hub and distribute the multiplexed heterogeneous signal to the optical distribution center. The at least two end users each include a downstream receiver configured to receive one of the respective separated optical signals from the optical distribution center.
Abstract:
A system is disclosed which provides a significantly enhanced transmission rate for digital data transmitted over a television channel, while also providing immunity to signal interference caused by multipath reception. One embodiment of the system transmits a signal containing digital data in the vertical blanking interval of a television signal. Before being transmitted, the digital data is modulated (105, 110, 115) by a process called orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, or OFDM. Each block of digital data to be transmitted is transformed (105) by using an inverse discrete Fourier transform which produces a block of data (110) that is used to modulate a single carrier signal. The modulated carrier signal has a plurality of mutually orthogonal components, each of which has a lower frequency (data rate) than the original digital data signal. The single carrier signal can be viewed as being comprised of a plurality of mutually orthogonal carrier signals which have lower frequencies than the original signal. These lower frequency "carrier signals" can be transmitted with more immunity from phase and amplitude distortion than a single modulated higher-frequency signal. Even though interference-induced distortion of the transmitted signal may be relatively large when viewed across the entire transmission (broadband) channel, the distortion is relatively small across each of the limited-bandwidth carrier channels. Therefore, the transformed signal has a high immunity to multipath interference, even when the phase of the received multipath signal is time-varying. A guard interval (217) is optionally prefixed to the front end of the data signal to provide additional immunity to multipath interference. A further feature of the present system is the optional inclusion in the transmitted signal of an error correcting code which allows detection and correction of multiple sequential data transmission errors.
