| 20110026920 | Systems and Methods of Supporting Powerline Communications - Systems and methods for supporting communications over powerlines are provided. The system can include a frequency and amplitude selective optical converter coupled to a powerline, an optical multiplexer coupled to the optical converter and an optical demultiplexer coupled to the optical multiplexer. The optical converter can be tuned to a frequency and amplitude corresponding to voice or data communication signals carried on the powerline. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110032863 | Systems and Methods of Supporting Powerline Communications - Systems and methods for powerline communications are provided. A system can include a controller and an extension unit. The controller includes a plurality of transceivers, each of the plurality of transceivers are coupled to a powerline network and a switch coupled to each of the plurality of transceivers. The extension unit includes a transceiver coupled to the powerline network and an interface to a communication unit. The controller is coupled to a broadband wireless network via the powerline network and the switch of the controller switches communications between the extension unit and the broadband wireless network.. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110153754 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING TIME-SENSITIVE ALERTS IN A MOBILE DEVICE - In various embodiments, a method for receiving alerts through a network includes providing a device having a pop-up management module and a display; providing a communications interface between the device and one or more database systems located outside the network; providing a user interface configured to allow the user to selectively choose to display, on the display, one or more message types generated by the one or more database systems, wherein said one or more message types are received by said pop-up management module via the network and displayed on the display as a pop-up message. A related system includes a device registered in the network having a processor, a memory device, a transceiver, a user interface, and a display, wherein the processor is configured to control a pop-up management module for displaying one or more message types as a pop-up message. The device may be a WiMAX-enabled device and the network may be a WiMAX network. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110189975 | Method for Communicating Indoor Location to an Emergency Service System - A method for communicating location to an emergency service system. A wireless communication device (WCD) such as a cell phone attains a GPS location fix when outdoors and then uses a compass and pedometer to determine its direction(s) and distance(s) of travel reaching a position inside a building. When a user of the WCD places an emergency call, the WCD conveys an indication of its indoor location in a signaling message to an emergency service center, and an intermediation system such as an IMS system translates the indoor location indication to a textual description of a portion of the building (e.g., room, cubicle, zone, etc.) that encompasses the indicated location. An emergency service operator can thus receive the building portion description, to facilitate emergency service response. Further, a similar process can then be repeated during the call, to provide an updated building portion description to the operator. | 08-04-2011 |
