Abstract:
TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING PEAK-TO AVERAGE POWER RATIO (PAPR) FOR MULTI-CARRIER MODULATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS. DIFFERENT TERMINALS IN A MULTIPLE-ACCESS SYSTEM MAY HAVE DIFFERENT REQUIREDTRANSMIT POWERS. THE NUMBER OF CARRIER TO ALLOCATE TO EACH TERMINAL IS MADE DEPENDENT ON ITS REQUIRED TRANSMIT POWER. TERMINALS WITH HIGHER REQUIRED TRANSMIT POWERS MAY BE ALLOCATED FEWER CARRIES (ASSOCIATED WITH SMALLER PAPR) TO ALLOW THE POWER AMPLIFIER TO OPERATE AT HIGHER POWER LEVELS. TERMINALS WITH LOWER REQUIRED TRANSMIT POWERS MAY BE ALLOCATED MORE CARRIES (ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER PAPR) SINCE THE POWER AMPLIFIER IS OPERATED AT LOWER POWER LEVELS. THE SPECIFIC CARRIERS TO ASSIGN TO THE TERMINALS MAY ALSO BE DETERMINED BY THEIR TRANSMIT POWER LEVELS TO REDUCE OUT-OF0BAND EMISSIONS. TERMINALS WITH HIGHER REQUIRED TRANSMIT POWERS MAY BE ASSIGNED WITH CARRIES NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE OPERATING BAND, AND TERMINALS WITH LOWER REQUIRED TRANSMIT POWERS MAY BE ASSIGNED WITH CARRIES NEAR THE BAND EDGES.
Abstract:
Tecnicas para administrar la relacion de energia pico a promedio (PAPR) para modulacion de multi-portador en sistemas de comunicacion inalambrica. Diferentes terminales en un sistema de multiple acceso pueden tener diferente energia de transmision requerida. El numero de portadores para ubicar a cada terminal se hace dependiendo de su energia de transmision requerida. Las terminales con energia de transmision requerida mas elevada pueden ubicarse en pocos portadores (asociados con PAPR mas pequena) para permitir al amplificador de energia operar en niveles de energia mas elevado. Las terminales con energia de transmision requerida mas baja pueden ubicarse en mas portadores (asociados con PAPR mas elevada) dado que el amplificador de energia es operado en niveles de energia mas bajo. Los portadores especificos asignan a las terminales que tambien pueden determinarse por sus niveles de energia de transmision para reducir las emisiones fuera de banda. Las terminales con energia de transmision requerida mas elevada pueden asignarse con portadores cerca de la mitad de la banda de operacion, y terminales con energia de transmision requerida mas baja, pueden asignarse con portadores cerca de los bordes de banda.
Abstract:
A circuit for digital signal processing calls for the use of a variable length instruction set. An exemplary DSP includes a set of three data buses (108, 110, 112) over which data may be exchanged with a register bank (120) and three data memories (102, 103, 104). A register bank (120) may be used that has registers accessible by at least two processing units (128, 130). An instruction fetch unit (156) may be included that receives instructions of variable length stored in an instruction memory (152). The instruction memory (152) may be separate from the set of three data memories (102, 103, 104).
Abstract:
An inter-device serial bus protocol facilitates the interconnection and communication among various devices via a serial bus. The bus (48) comprises a clock wire, a data wire, and a start/stop wire. A master serial bus interface couples a master device to the serial bus. A slave serial bus interface couples a slave device to the serial bus. The master serial bus interface (180) may comprise a transaction initiator, a data write mechanism, a data read mechanism, and a clock driver. The transaction initiator initiates a transaction by pulling the signal level of the start/stop wire low. The data write mechanism controls the signal level on the data wire in accordance with the data to be written to the slave device. The data read mechanism reads data by monitoring the signal level on the data wire. The clock driver controls the signal level on the clock wire in accordance with a desired clock signal.
Abstract:
Techniques for managing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) for multi-carrier modulation in wireless communication systems. Different terminals in a multiple-access system may have different required transmit powers. The number of carriers to allocate to each terminal is made dependent on its required transmit power. Terminals with higher required transmit powers may be allocated fewer carriers (associated with smaller PAPR) to allow the power amplifier to operate at higher power levels. Terminals with lower required transmit powers may be allocated more carriers (associated with higher PAPR) since the power amplifier is operated at lower power levels. The specific carriers to assign to the terminals may also be determined by their transmit power levels to reduce out-of-band emissions. Terminals with higher required transmit powers may be assigned with carriers near the middle of the operating band, and terminals with lower required transmit powers may be assigned with carriers near the band edges.
Abstract:
A deployment and distribution model improves content delivery with a business incentive for placement of kiosks with one or more wireless access points in public locations so that portable media players (PMPs) can receive media content (e.g., audio, video, text, haptic content, etc.). In addition, coordination between subscribing users of PMPs, vendors who provide kiosks, and a network central controller of a content distribution system allow for prepositioning of video content at the kiosks through economically desirable low data rate communication links from the network (e.g., dial- up modem, DSL, etc.); coordinated queuing of downloads (e.g., partial downloads) between kiosk to PMP, peer-to-peer (P2P) downloading between PMPs, and uploads from PMP to kiosk; billing/crediting to correspond with such participation in the distribution; and changing priority/selection of prepositioning of content at kiosks to reflect a clientele profile.
Abstract:
Apparatus, methods, and programs for protecting data on a wireless device may include a wireless device having a computer platform with a processing engine operable, based upon configurable parameters, to log data access attempt on the wireless device and transmit the log to a remote device. Furthermore, the wireless device may be configured to execute locally and remotely generated control commands on the wireless device, the commands operable to modify an operation of the wireless device. The embodiment may also include an apparatus operable to receive the transmitted log, analyze the received log and transmit a control command to the wireless device. The apparatus may further generate a data access report and make the report available to an authorized user.
