The present system comprises a transmitting apparatus for digital broadcast which includes an original signal generating section, delaying section, information amount reducing section, and transmitting section. A receiving and reproducing apparatus for digital broadcast includes a signal reception front stage unit for receiving a high quality signal and a low quality signal, mode determining section and reproducing section composed of a delaying section and selecting section for selectively reproducing the high quality signal and the low quality signal. By employing time diversity, the transmitting apparatus sends the low quality signal having a smaller bandwidth and the high quality signal so that the low quality signal has a preceding time lag relative to the high quality signal, and the receiving apparatus reproduces broadcasting programs. Utilizing the frequency band for broadcast effectively, many broadcasting programs can be increased, and the investment for providing a gap filler can be minimized.

A method of transmitting information over a feed back channel of a communication system that has multiple antenna systems is provided. Long term channel condition information is obtained from received measured and/or calculated channel parameter values. The obtained long term channel condition information is arranged in a particular manner and transmitted over a defined time period during which the long term channel condition information varies relatively slowly. Because the long term information remains relatively constant for one or more defined time periods, the amount of bandwidth needed to communicate this value is small because it need only be communicated occasionally. Thus only a small bandwidth needs to be allocated for transmitting this long term information.

At least two of the plurality of transmission paths comprise a predistortion modulator for modulating a transmission path signal with a predistortion modulation signal generated by the predistortion modulation signal generator and distributed by predistortion modulation signal distribution structure to the at least two of the plurality of transmission paths. A method for predistorting at least two of a plurality of transmission path signals in an active antenna array and computer program products for manufacture and method execution are also claimed.

Embodiments are provided for guard band utilization for synchronous and asynchronous communications in wireless networks. A user equipment (UE) or a network component transmits symbols on data bands assigned for primary communications. The data bands are separated by a guard band having smaller bandwidth than the data bands. The UE or network component further modulates symbols for secondary communications with a spectrally contained wave form, which has a smaller bandwidth than the guard band. The spectrally contained wave form is achieved with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation or with joint OFDM and Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OQAM) modulation. The modulated symbols for the secondary communications are transmitted within the guard band.

The present invention relates to a computerized method and respective system for servicing a request for a networked data transfer from a client system, which is able to be serviced on a particular server system being a member of a plurality of server systems dedicated to service said client requests, in which the server systems are connected via a network and share information about a plurality of client systems, and in which the service is known to consume some non-negligible network bandwidth. In order to balance required bandwidth peaks and to improve user comfort, it is proposed to establish an inter-server communication, which determines the best suited server for providing the service, reflecting pre-collected client history data, favorite service provision times, etc. The method can be applied primarily for backup of data from distributed client systems, or for improving print services.

A system and method of converting the content of a regular whiteboard into an electronic document. This system and method provides an effective, economical and easy to use way to convert whiteboard content as an enhanced and easily editable electronic document though the use of a still or video camera. It uses a series of image processing steps to clip borders, rectify the whiteboard image and correct colors.

An interactive video platform, interactive video player and computer implemented methods are described, for providing interactive video on a user device, such as a mobile phone. An item of video content to be displayed is identified and a control file associated with the item of video content is determined. A control command is received from the user device while the video content is being displayed. The control file is read to determine an action to be carried out based on the control command received and the action is carried out. The action can control the item of video content being displayed and/or can cause user interface entities to be displayed allowing the user to interact with the displayed video.

Described is a system and method for transporting interference-related control data and other information between nodes in a wireless network, using a control channel that is distinct from a content channel used to transport content. The control channel may be a different channel in the same unlicensed band as the content channel, a channel in a different unlicensed band, or a channel in a licensed band, and thereby not subject to the same interference-related problems that the unlicensed content channel may experience. As a result, management information for adjusting the content channel's communication parameters may still be communicated between the nodes, whereby mitigation actions may occur. For example, the content channel may be changed to another frequency, compression may be implemented or varied, and/or the data transfer rate may be varied. The control data can also be used to change the control channel's communication parameters.

An antenna system internal to a radio device, the system comprising separate antennas and having separate operating bands. The system is implemented as decentralized in a way that each antenna is typically based on a small-sized chip component (310; 320; 330; 340; 350; 360; 610), which are located at suitable places on the circuit board (PCB) and possibly on also another internal surface in the device. The chip component comprises a ceramic substrate and at least one radiating element. The operating band of an individual antenna covers e.g. the frequency range used by a radio system or only the transmitting or receiving band in that range. At least one antenna is connected to an adjusting circuit with a switch, by which the antenna's operating band can be displaced in a desired way. In this case the operating band covers at a time a part of the frequency range used by one or two radio systems. The antennas can be made small-sized, because a relatively small bandwidth is sufficient for an individual antenna, when there is a plurality of antennas. When the bandwidth is small, a material with higher permittivity can be chosen for the antenna than for an antenna having a wider band, in which case the antenna dimensions can be made correspondingly smaller. In addition, a good matching of the antenna is achieved on the whole width of each radio system, because the matching of a separate antenna having a relatively narrow band is easier to arrange than that of a combined multiband antenna.

A method and an apparatus for controlling a conference call is a system which comprises a conference bridge for combining several audio signals arriving from terminals and for transmitting the combined signal further to at least one of the terminals using at least one transmitting codec.

The number of simultaneously active audio components, such as speech signals, is determined from the audio signals of the conference bridge inputs. At least one transmitting codec is selected for use on the basis of the number of simultaneously active audio components and the combined signal is transmitted to at least one terminal using the selected transmitting codec.

When received, the series of symbols is decoded to restore the speechlets and for reconstituting a speech according to the speechlets prior to being communicated to a listening party.

A unified core network provides core network services to a number of telecommunications network operators. The unified core is partitioned into a number of slices with each slice being the core network for a network operator. Each network operator is then free to define services within its own partition to serve its own users. In this manner, the network operators are freed from building and maintaining a core network while simultaneously enjoying the benefit of having a core network.
