20100162389PROVIDING PERMISSION TO PERFORM ACTION ON AN ELECTRONIC TICKET - Described are methods and systems related to providing permission to a user to perform an action on a workflow driven ticket. The ticket is accessed to determine an action type to be performed on the ticket and a correlated object associated therewith. A role based permission tuple is determined based upon a role of the user. A ticket based permission tuple is determined by generating a universal permission tuple based upon the action type and generating a dependency map based upon the correlated object. The dependency map is mapped to the universal permission tuple to construct the ticket based permission tuple. The role based permission tuple is supplemented with the ticket based permission tuple, to provide the required permission to execute the action. Upon an execution of the action, the permission is partially revoked, by removing the ticket based permission tuple.06-24-2010

20090135941Method for Digital Wireless Message Transmission Over a Broadband Mobile Radio Channel - In an OFDM multi carrier modulation method, M sub-carriers are used in a frequency band of a broadband mobile radio channel and several symbols are used in a time band. With application of a MIMO multi-antenna method with T transmitting antennae and R receiving antennae, for all sub-carriers and all symbols, a single, pre-determined, channel-matched transmission strategy is used, which is described by a maximum of T*R complex values on the signal side, independent of the species of the MIMO multi-antenna method and independent of the size of the frequency/time bands.05-28-2009
20090220027Method For Coding Data Symbols - Data symbols, transmitted by OFDM radio using at least two transmission antennae, are coded by a DSTBC coding and a DSTFBC coding. Two adjacent data symbols of a selected sub-carrier are provided for initializing a DSTFBC coding in a sub-carrier direction and are used for DSTFBC coding of similarly positioned data symbols in further sub-carriers in the sub-carrier. The DSTFBC coding is carried out from the data symbols of the first sub-carrier direction. In each sub-carrier the two data symbols formed by DSTFBC coding are used for initializing a DSTBC coding in the OFDM symbol direction. In the reverse direction, two sequential DSTBC coded data symbols on a first sub-carrier for initializing a DSTFBC coding in a sub-carrier direction and are used for DSTFBC coding of similarly positioned data symbols in further sub-carriers for DSTFBC coding from the data symbols of the first sub-carrier over the adjacent sub-carriers.09-03-2009
