A method for subcarrier allocation and loading for a multi-carrier, multi-subscriber system is described. At least one cluster in a first and second set of clusters of subcarriers is associated for use in communication with a first and second subscriber, respectively. Then, for each cluster associated for use in communication with the first subscriber and the second subscriber, usage of that cluster is multiplexed between the first subscriber during a first time division and the second subscriber during a second time division.

A display device includes a signal receiving unit, an image display unit, a communicating unit, a position designating unit, and an information transmitting unit. The signal receiving unit receives a video signal by a differential signal through a plurality of channels from an external apparatus via a transmission path. The image display unit processes the vide signal received in the signal receiving unit to display an image. The communicating unit performs a bi-directional communication by using a predetermined line which constitutes the transmission path. The position designating unit designates a position on a display screen of the image display unit. The information transmitting unit transmits, by the communicating unit, coordinate information on the position designated by the position designating unit to the external apparatus.

Presented herein are systems and methods for global positioning system based secure access. A request for access to a computer network is received. A determination is made whether a mobile terminal is within a predetermined location. If the mobile terminal is within the predetermined location, access is granted. If the mobile terminal is outside of the predetermined location, access to the computer network is denied.

A system for providing power to a local area network LAN connected device via spare wire pairs from a phantom feed LAN, the system comprising a first connector for connecting to the LAN connected device; a second connector for connecting to a LAN hub; and means for redirecting current from signaling wires of said second connector to at least one spare wire pair of said first connector.

A method and system are disclosed for improving the performance of a multiline transmission system by using one or more split-pair receivers in a multiline communications system to identify crosstalk on a pair of transceivers coupled to the split pair receivers, wherein each split pair receiver receives a signal including the crosstalk from each transceiver and provides a corresponding signal vector to a post processing unit, and performing MIMO post-processing on signal vectors received at a receiver from each transceiver and each split-pair receiver while minimizing crosstalk on pairs of lines in the multiline communications system with a frequency equalizer.

A method and apparatus for identification of interference sources are disclosed.

The invention relates to a method and a device for transmission with reduced crosstalk in interconnections used for sending a plurality of signals, such as the interconnections made with flat multiconductor cables, or with the tracks of a printed circuit board, or inside an integrated circuit. An interconnection with four parallel transmission conductors plus a reference conductor has each of its ends connected to a termination circuit. The transmitting circuit receives at its input the signals of the four channels of the source and its output terminals are connected to the conductors of the interconnection. The receiving circuit's input terminals are connected to the conductors of the interconnection, and its four output channels are connected to the destination. The signals of the four channels of the source are sent to the four channels of the destination, without noticeable crosstalk.

The present invention relates to a device and method for injecting a noise signal into a wire pair of a communication link. In operation a differential mode noise signal is received at a first and a second input port, which are connected via a first and a second resistor to a first and a second end tap of a primary coil of a transformer, respectively. The transformed differential mode noise signal is then transmitted via a first and a second end tap of a secondary coil of the transformer and a third and a fourth resistor to a first and a second output port for injection at high impedance into a first and a second wire of the communication link. Optionally, the device comprises a third input port connected to a center tap of the secondary coil for receiving a common mode noise signal. The common mode noise signal is then provided at low impedance to the first and the second wire via the first and the second end tap of the secondary coil and via the third and fourth resistor having low impedance, respectively. The device allows injection of a noise signal into the communication link at a desired location without splitting the same. Furthermore, the device allows injection of differential mode noise signals and common mode noise signals using same circuitry without switching and/or rewiring between different electrical circuits.

In a method for administering radio resources in a mobile radio cell, which includes a plurality of mobile terminals which are distinguishable by their radio signals, and a base station, the administration of radio resources of a mobile radio cell is improved to such an extent that the available radio resources are utilized more economically. A mobile terminal is requested by the base station to send out a signal, currently present at a receiver of the mobile terminal, which is representative of an interference situation at the location of the mobile terminal. This is sent together with information for estimating the channel between the mobile terminal and the base station so that the base station receives raw data at the location of the mobile terminal, and evaluates the signal received from the mobile terminal and the information for estimating the channel between the mobile terminal and the base station for determining the radio sources forming the basis of the signal and the intensities of at least some of the radio sources. Further, the base station in the mobile radio cell adapts the distribution of the radio resources for improving the interference situation at the location of the mobile terminal.

A method and apparatus provide an IP telephone or similar device with a mechanism to receive and at least briefly loop back discovery signals received from a telecommunications device such as an Ethernet switch while not permitting the loop back of data packet signals. No mechanical relays are required and the circuitry can be fully integrated on an integrated circuit using commonly available techniques, if desired.
