Systems, apparatuses, and methods for automating avatar selection for groups are disclosed. A representative method includes providing a software application accessible to multiple users, and a database of available avatar characteristics that are selectively combinable to create user-specific avatars with which the users can represent themselves to each other in the application. User(s) associated with a group provide an instruction that associates a first set of the available avatar characteristics with the group. For users associated with the group, access is then restricted to the first set of avatar characteristics, and for users not associated with the group, access is restricted to a different second set of available avatar characteristics. Avatar characteristics in the first set may be selected by an automated procedure that analyzes user-specific avatars of some users, and selects which of the available avatar characteristics to include in the first set based on the analysis.

A novel and useful synchronization mechanism that functions to provide a uniform time base for mesh points in a WLAN mesh based network. The invention enables timing synchronization to a common reference clock base by advertising the common TSF within beacon transmissions. All MPs in a mesh share a common DTIM interval. The synchronization mechanism enables the mesh points to avoid collisions in the generation and transmission of beacons. The TBTT offsets of the current MP and its neighbors are advertised in beacons so that neighboring MPs that hear the beacons can select non-overlapping TBTT offsets. Each MP receives one or more beacons from its neighbors and compares the timing of its neighbors to that of itself and adopts the highest TSF (i.e. the fastest) in the mesh. Eventually, all MPs in the mesh will adjust their timing to that of the MP with the fastest clock. The reception of beacons by MPs from its neighbors is also advertised. This allows for MPs to verify that the beacons they send are actually heard and are not in collision with beacon transmissions of other MPs.

The method is utilied in the FCS procedure of the HSDPA to transfer the synchronizing information of the PDU send state between the subzones along the IP transmission route between base stations. When the new subzone enters into the activation set, the main subzone transmits PDU, which is unrecognized in the MAC-hs, to the new subzone through route between the base stations directly. Meanwhile, the RNC also transmits the new PDU to the new subzone. The synzhonrizing procedure between the new sobzone and the other subzones is speeded up since PDU in two routes are transmitted to the new subzone at same time. Thus, the invention raises the continuity of data transmission in FCS procedure, speeds up the synchronizing procedure of the PDU queue and the procedure of filling data as well as reduce the signaling overhead between RNC and Node B.
