The migration of the tags is performed following an analysis of one or more personal electronically encoded items associated with a previously created perspective or album associated with the previously created perspective, responsive to a user decision the creation of a new perspective, a new album associated with one of the previously created perspectives, or a new perspective and a new album associated with the new perspective, responsive to a user decision to treat the previously created perspective or album as an individual entity, and association of the previously created perspective or album with the new perspective or new album. The tags are respectively migrated from the new perspective or the new album to the associated previously created perspective or the previously created album and to associated ones of the one or more personal electronically encoded items. | 03-06-2014 |
20140067878 | ANALYSIS AND PROPOSAL CREATION FOR MANAGEMENT OF PERSONAL ELECTRONICALLY ENCODED ITEMS - A method performed on an electronic device for creating a proposal to a user. The proposal is created from an analysis of one or more personal electronically encoded items associated with one or more previously created perspectives unique to a user with each of the previously created perspectives representative of user interest and is based on similarities determined from the analysis. The proposal includes the creation of a new perspective, a new album, or a new perspective and a new album associated with the new perspective and the association therewith of one or more of the one or more analyzed personal electronically encoded items. Responsive to user acceptance of the proposal, the system creates the new perspective, the new album, or the new perspective and the new album associated with the new perspective and associates therewith one or more of the one or more analyzed personal electronically encoded items. | 03-06-2014 |
20140098781 | Method, Apparatus and System for Uplink Radio Resource Allocation in an LTE Communication System - The present technology provides a method, apparatus and system for facilitating uplink communication from a user equipment (UE) to a base station in an LTE communication system. One or more frequency subcarriers within a predetermined LTE resource block are selected, covering less than the entire frequency range of the LTE resource block. The selected one or more frequency subcarriers are then used for communication from the UE to the base station. | 04-10-2014 |
20140098782 | ENHANCEMENT FOR LTE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - A method and system for transmitting data from a UE in an OFDM system such as LTE. Information symbols are spread using a spreading code assigned to the UE and orthogonal to spreading codes of other UEs. The assigned spreading code has a spreading factor which is variable and dynamically selected based on one or more system performance criteria. The spread information symbols are transmitted in one or more LTE resource blocks. Spreading may be performed in the time domain, over a plurality of LTE time slots and/or resource elements. | 04-10-2014 |
20140185534 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST COMBINING ON AN LTE DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL - The present technology provides for an LTE system comprising a UE which is configured to perform blind HARQ combining of PDCCH messages, and an eNB which is configured with a HARQ transmission mechanism for such PDCCH messages. The PDCCH messages may be uplink or downlink grant messages, for example. In some embodiments, up to 8 messages may be combined via HARQ. Such HARQ combining may facilitate realizing a practical coverage gain. | 07-03-2014 |
20140301296 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BROADCAST CHANNEL DECODING - A method and apparatus for decoding the LTE physical broadcast channel (PBCH). The transmissions are made by an evolved NodeB (eNB). At least one template symbol sequence representative of a potential transmission by the eNB over the PBCH is provided. A signal or signals transmitted over the PBCH by the eNB is received, the signal or signals indicative of a received symbol sequence. Correlation operations are performed for correlating the at least one template symbol sequence against the received symbol sequence. A representative symbol sequence, timing parameter, or both, is selected, based on the correlation operations. The representative symbol sequence is indicative of information transmitted by the eNB over the LTE PBCH. The timing parameter is indicative of timing of said information transmitted by the eNB. | 10-09-2014 |
