20090232092METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING TRANSMISSION RELIABILITY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - There is provided a method and apparatus for allocating transmission resources in a wireless network in which some of the terminals communicate with the base station by exchanging communication frames that are compatible with a first communication protocol while other terminals receive communications from the base station that are compatible with a second communication protocol by using non-standardized communication frames or communication frames that are compatible with another standardized protocol. The base station transmits a plurality of frames, some of which are compatible with the first communication protocol while others—with the second communication protocol. The terminals that are operative to receive frames of the second communication protocol are capable of decoding frames that are compatible with both communication protocols, whereas terminals that are operative to receive frames of the first communication protocol are capable of decoding only standardized communication frames of the first communication protocol.09-17-2009
20100087227WIRELESS BASE STATION DESIGN - A multi-transmitter base station for wireless digital communication, having beam forming and digital pre-distortion capabilities, including a shared feedback unit for providing feedback of outgoing Radio Frequency (RF) signals for calibrating a plurality of antennas and for adapting the digital pre-distortion. Related apparatus and methods are also described.04-08-2010
20100157925Mode selection for MIMO in wireless communication - A method for transmission mode selection in a MIMO radio system between a spatial diversity (A-matrix) mode and a spatial multiplexing (B-matrix) mode comprises: obtaining a channel condition number; if the channel condition number is above a selected threshold, and a signal to interference plus noise ratio exceeds a predetermined threshold then selecting spatial multiplexing; and otherwise selecting spatial diversity.06-24-2010

20080229096Network identity management system and method - Users of Internet services (e.g., SKYPE messaging service, GOOGLETALK messaging service, AOL INSTANT MESSENGER messaging service, and MICROSOFT MESSENGER messaging service) that are initially identified using separate identifiers that may be associated with respective service providers (e.g., email addresses) can manage network identities using a single unified set of account information managed by a registry service. The registry authenticates the user's request(s) to bind a service provider identity to his or her personal registry user record. The registry internally associates the service provider identity to an internal unique identifier that is not exposed to subscribers. When a second user wishes to communicate with a first user, the second user provides any service provider identity that is believed to be associated with the first user to determine if the specified service provider identity appears to match the intended subscriber. If so, the second user may specify a nickname (unique to the second subscriber but not necessarily globally unique) to be associated internally within the registry with the internal unique identifier of the first subscriber as part of the second subscriber's user record. Later, even if the first subscriber has relinquished the service provider identity that was originally used to find the first subscriber, the second subscriber can still find the first subscriber by using the associate nickname without either subscriber ever knowing the internal unique identifier of the first subscriber.09-18-2008

20090046932PARAMETRIC ESTIMATION OF MULTI-DIMENSIONAL HOMEOMORPHIC TRANSFORMATIONS - In object registration and recognition based on a set of known templates, the tremendous set of possible transformations that may relate the template and an observed signature makes any detection and recognition problem ill-defined unless this variability is taken into account. The present invention estimates the deformation that transforms some pre-chosen representation of an object (template) into the current observation. The method employs a set of non-linear operators to replace a high dimensional problem by an equivalent linear problem, expressed in terms of the unknown parameters of the transformation model. The solution is applicable to any homeomorphic transformation regardless of its magnitude. In the special case where the transformation is affine the solution is shown to be exact.02-19-2009
