Abstract:
A method of transmitting data according to a data transmission protocol wherein the data is transmitted as a plurality of data frames and each data frame includes an error checking field comprising at least two sub-fields, the data of the first sub-field being formed by a first error checking method performed on data of the frame and the data of the second sub-field being formed by a second error checking method performed on the said data of the frame, the first and second methods being such that the data of the first sub-field has different error checking properties from those of the data of the second sub-field.
Abstract:
A vital-signs patch for a patient monitoring system that includes a housing containing a sensor that makes physiological measurements of a patient, a transmitter, a receiver, a memory, and a processor. The processor periodically takes a measurement from the sensor, converts the measurement to a data record, and stores the data record in the memory. Upon receipt of a signal from another device, the processor retrieves at least a portion of the data record, converts the retrieved portion of the data record to a vital-sign signal, and causes the transmitter to transmit the vital-sign signal to the other device.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting downlink control information in mobile communications system. A size of a downlink control information (DCI) format associated with an uplink transmission mode is determined and then compared with a size of a DCI format corresponding to a current downlink transmission mode. If the size of the DCI format associated with the uplink transmission mode is same as the size of the DCI format corresponding to the current downlink transmission mode, a bit is appended to the DCI format associated with the uplink transmission mode to differentiate the size of the DCI format associated with the uplink transmission mode from the size of the DCI format corresponding to the current downlink transmission mode.
Abstract:
Aspects of the invention provide apparatuses, computer media, and methods for supporting the broadcast of signaling data over a network. Signaling data is encoded, partitioned into M signaling segments, and distributed over M corresponding data frames. A data stream with the partitioned signaling data is transmitted through a digital terrestrial television broadcasting system, where the partitioned signaling data may include physical layer configurable data. The number of distributed signaling segments may be determined from a predetermined value or from a parameter contained in pre-signaling data. The number of physical layer pipes supported by signaling data may be increased by separating the static signaling part and the dynamic signaling part, dividing static signaling part into signaling segments, and interleaving the signaling segments over the data frames. The number of physical layer pipes can be further increased by adding at least one P2 symbol.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the transmission of data relating to the actuation of a member used to operate a vehicle, in which code words are transmitted along the length of a given channel, each of said code words resulting from the channel coding of a block of information symbols that is representative of the aforementioned data. According to the invention, at least two such successive blocks of information symbols are coded using two different codes. The invention also relates to a data transmission system that is used to implement said method.
Abstract:
For the coded data that was transmitted via a communication channel, a known code portion thereof that is a code portion corresponding to known data is detected. When the known code portion is not detected from the coded data, the coded data will be decoded. When the known code portion is detected from the coded data, at least a part thereof will be replaced with normal data, and the decoding will be performed on the coded data after the substitution.
Abstract:
Techniques for addressing high interference observed by a receiver in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The receiver may observe different interference power levels across a transmission symbol. In an aspect, the receiver applies different weights to different portions of the transmission symbol to account for fluctuation of interference power across the transmission symbol. In another aspect, a transmitter may send a transmission symbol such that a receiver can ignore a portion of a symbol period with high interference. In one design, the transmitter generates a transmission symbol including at least two copies of a signal component. The transmitter transmits at least one copy of the signal component in a portion of the symbol period in which the receiver does not observe high interference. The receiver processes the at least one copy of the signal component to recover data sent in the transmission symbol.
Abstract:
Various methods and systems receiving information from an access point over a wireless link in order to reduce processing and/or transmission overhead are disclosed. Such methods and systems may include the processing of a received packet using a descrambling operation on at least a portion of the packet's information based on a MAC-ID associated with an access terminal to produce at least a first processed packet, and determining whether the received packet is targeted to the access terminal based on the first processed packet.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for reporting of channel quality indication in Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) wireless systems.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for providing linear erasure codes. In one aspect, a method is provided for encoding a set of data values into a code symbol. The method includes determining an index sequence that defines selected data values to be used to generate the code symbol, and determining a value sequence that defines factors to be multiplied by the selected data values to generate the code symbol. The method also includes generating a packet header that describes the index sequence and the value sequence.
