20130061109 | TURBO CODE INTERLEAVER WITH NEAR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE - A method of interleaving blocks of indexed data of varying lengths is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: providing a set of basic Interleavers comprising a family of one or more permutations of the indexed data and having a variable length; selecting one of the basic Interleavers based upon a desired Interleaver length L; and adapting the selected basic Interleaver to produce an Interleaver having the desired Interleaver length L. | 03-07-2013 |
20130080778 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING PROGRAM GUIDE DATA FROM A CONTENT PROVIDER TO A USER DEVICE THROUGH A PARTNER SERVICE PROVIDER BASED UPON USER ATTRIBUTES - A method and system for providing program guide data to a user network device associated with a user identifier includes a partner service provider in communication with the user network device and a primary service provider in communication with the partner service provider authenticating the user network device provider using the user identifier. The user network device generates a request for program guide data and communicates the user identifier and the request to the partner service provider. The partner service provider or the primary service provider communicates program guide data to the user network device based on the identifier data. The user network device displays the program guide data on a display device. | 03-28-2013 |
20130091406 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ROUTING IN LOW DENSITY PARITY CHECK (LDPC) DECODERS - An approach is provided for decoding a low density parity check (LDPC) coded signal. Edge values associated with a structured parity check matrix used to generate the LDPC coded signal are retrieved from memory. The edge values specify the relationship of bit nodes and check nodes, and are stored within memory according to a predetermined scheme that permits concurrent retrieval of a set of the edge values. A decoded signal corresponding to the LDPC coded signal is output based on the retrieved edge values. | 04-11-2013 |
20130117379 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FILE SHARING OF MISSING CONTENT BETWEEN A GROUP OF USER DEVICES IN A PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK - A communication system includes a first user device and a group of user devices. A peer-to-peer network is formed from the group of user devices and the first user device. A content request is communicated to the group of user devices through a terrestrial network. At least one of the group of user devices communicates the media content file corresponding to the content request to the first user device through the peer-to-peer network. The media content file communicated to the first user device from at least one of the group of user devices comprises a missing portion of the media content file. | 05-09-2013 |
20130125176 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USING A WEBSITE TO PERFORM A REMOTE ACTION ON A SET TOP BOX WITH A SECURE AUTHORIZATION - A conditional access system generating a permission packet in response to the content request. The permission packet has information for a user device to access content through a connection of a content delivery network so that in response to the permission packet, a first connection from the content delivery network to the user device may be opened by the user device. | 05-16-2013 |
20130139202 | ACTIVE CHANNEL FOR INTERACTIVE TELEVISION SERVICES - An interactive home video channel displayed on a monitor is enclosed. A channel in accordance with the present invention comprises a plurality of video cells presenting at least video information, a text box, a menu comprising menu choices, each menu choice and each video cell associated with a programming subject, and a cursor, which can be moved between the plurality of video cells and the menu, for selecting at least one of the video cells and the menu choices, which presents additional information about the programming subject associated with the selected video cell or menu choice upon selection with the cursor. | 05-30-2013 |
20130172029 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR MOBILE USERS USING ADAPTIVE ANTENNA WITH AUXILIARY ELEMENTS - A communication system communications system for communicating with mobile user terminals includes a base station having an adaptive antenna with a plurality of panels. Each of the plurality of panels are arranged to have a different field of view. Each panel has a plurality of main array antenna elements for simultaneously generating a plurality of dynamic communication beams that move with the mobile terminals and a plurality of auxiliary elements separate from the plurality of main array antenna elements used for interference cancelling signals cancelling interference between the plurality of dynamic communication beams generated by the plurality of main array elements. A gateway station is coupled to the base station. The gateway station forms a plurality of beams commands for each of the plurality of panels by communicating a plurality of control signals to the base station to form the plurality of dynamic communication beams. | 07-04-2013 |
20130198404 | PRESENTATION MODES FOR VARIOUS FORMAT BIT STREAMS - A system, method, and apparatus for processing media content for display on a monitor. A home media center (HMC), that includes a server receiver, acts as a central location for recording, distribution, and scheduling of tasks and system resources. The HMC receives a client request from a first client receiver and a legacy request or informs the receiver that the request cannot be fulfilled. Different coding technologies are used to provide video, audio, and data services to the client receiver and the legacy receiver. | 08-01-2013 |
