The communication system includes at least one base station and a plurality of mobile stations. At least one downlink metric is determined for a first mobile station. The at least one downlink metric is used to determine eligibility for uplink V-MIMO candidate list selection. Responsive to determining that the first mobile station is eligible for uplink V-MIMO candidate list selection, the first mobile station is paired with a second mobile station eligible for uplink V-MIMO candidate list selection. | 2011-02-10 |

| 20110034208 | MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE MOBILE TERMINAL - A mobile terminal and a method of controlling the mobile terminal are provided. The method includes locking the mobile terminal; if a communication event occurs, displaying communication event alert information on a display module; and if a predefined gesture input is received in connection with the communication event alert information, unlocking the mobile terminal and entering an operating mode corresponding to the communication event. Therefore, it is possible to readily unlock the mobile terminal and place the mobile terminal in any operating mode in response to a gesture input. | 2011-02-10 |
| 20110034209 | WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY AS A DATA CONDUIT IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL ULTRASONOGRAY - An imaging system, having: an imaging data acquisition device; a remote image reconstruction and data processing facility; and a wireless data transfer to transmit raw data from the data acquisition device to the remote facility. At the facility, the raw data is processed to prepare a diagnostic image that can be transmitted to an expert or non-expert, or transmitted back to the display of the wireless data transfer device. | 2011-02-10 |
| 20110034210 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND STORAGE DEVICE PROTOCOL - A cellular telephone is configured to perform procedures to protect against malfunction or damage to an HDD or other mass storage device in the cell phone, in response to receiving an indication of an incoming call. The protection procedures can include delaying one or more cell phone operations, and/or sending instructions to an HDD or other mass storage device including instructions to complete an operation, suspend an operation, park a head and/or spin down an HDD. In a cell phone which provides for extended playback, e.g., of audio or video, the cellular telephone preferably is configured to avoid interruptions of playback, e.g., during suspension or HDD operation. | 2011-02-10 |
| 20110034211 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND START UP METHOD THEREOF - A communication device and a starting up method include determining if the communication device has been locked with a designated subscriber identification module (SIM) card, and determining if an acquired unique International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) code of a current SIM card matches a prestored IMSI code of the designated SIM card when the communication device has been locked with a designated SIM card. The communication device and method further include unlocking the designated SIM card with the communication device if the acquired IMSI code does not match the prestored IMSI code, and starting up the communication device. | 2011-02-10 |
| 20110034212 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH MOVING BASE STATION - A mobile communication system employs moving base stations moving in the direction of flow of traffic moving along a roadway. The moving base station communicates with fixed radio ports connected to a gateway office. A plurality of moving base stations are spaced apart on a closed loop and move with the flow of traffic along one roadway on one leg of the loop and with a flow of traffic on another roadway in another leg of the loop. The moving base stations communicate with a plurality of fixed radio ports connected by a signal transmission link to a gateway office which, in turn, is connected to the wire line network. The moving base stations are each provided with a pair of directional antennas with one antenna directed toward the flow of traffic and another antenna directed to the fixed radio ports. | 2011-02-10 |
