Transmitter and receiver units for use in an OFDM communications system and configurable to support multiple types of services. The transmitter unit includes one or more encoders, a symbol mapping element, and a modulator. Each encoder receives and codes a respective channel data stream to generate a corresponding coded data stream. The symbol mapping element receives and maps data from the coded data streams to generate modulation symbol vectors, with each modulation symbol vector including a set of data values used to modulate a set of tones to generate an OFDM symbol. The modulator modulates the modulation symbol vectors to provide a modulated signal suitable for transmission. The data from each coded data stream is mapped to a respective set of one or more “circuits”. Each circuit can be defined to include a number of tones from a number of OFDM symbols, a number of tones from a single OFDM symbol, all tones from one or more OFDM symbols, or some other combination of tones. The circuits can have equal size or different sizes. Different circuits can be used for full rate data (e.g., active speech) and low rate data (e.g., silence periods).

Two advanced group-based voice services, known as Push-to-Conference (P2C) and Push-to-Message (P2M) services are provided by a real-time exchange (RTX) that interfaces to the wireless network. The RTX provides a full-duplex Push-to-Conference (P2C) session between an initiator and two or more other participants, wherein the P2C session comprises a full-duplex conference call, and both the real time exchange and handsets participating in the P2C session communicate with each other using call setup and in-band signaling within the wireless network. The realtime exchange may be coupled to and work with a Push-to-Message (P2M) server to deliver multimedia messages in a non-real time manner from an originator to one or more recipients, without establishing voice paths between the originator and recipients, wherein the P2M server, and an optional Voice Mail Server, provide a message storage facility for the multimedia messages. Additionally, a technique based on handset speech buffering permits zero delay call set-ups to be achieved.

A proxy-server system (15) connected preferably to a computer-telephone system (10) intercepts, processes, and analyzes as traffic-analysis results (68A-C) all forms of real- and non-real-time electronic communication passing over the network in the form of raw traffic data (61). The proxy-server system normalizes each communication into the measure of time needed by recipient(s) of the communication to understand the information contained therein. Once normalized, the data may be aggregated into summary reports (69A-C). As part of the analysis, the aggregated communication records are compared with user-defined rules to provide alerts if the individual or aggregated durations exceed boundaries set by the rules. In one embodiment, the summary reports may be integrated with general-ledger data (94) and other raw business data (74) via a relational database (72) to derive more accurate records of activity-based-costing information (76). Additionally, the data of the summary reports may be visualized in two- or three-dimensional representations of communication-flow patterns to illustrate in an intuitive and semantically scalable manner the desired level of detail for time and time-based expense consumed by the electronic interactions of an individual or organization.

A communication apparatus that shares precise return channel uplink timing information includes a common symbol timing reference and one or more control stations that each transmit independent asynchronous DVB data streams which evenly share the common symbol timing. The control stations each include respective delay trackers to determine broadcast transmission delays associated with the particular control station and transmission path. Each broadcast data stream includes the same non real-time frame marker and a transmission delay message particular to the respective control station. A remote receiver receives one of the broadcast streams and timestamps the non real-time frame marker with a local time of receipt. A timing recovery circuit determines an upcoming return channel frame start time by adjusting the local time of receipt by the particular broadcast transmission delay and a unique receiver offset time. A local transmitter subsequently uplinks a TDMA message in a predetermined time-slot after the return channel frame start time. The method for transmitting a frame synchronized message includes receiving a non real-time frame reference marker in a receiver, timestamping the received frame reference marker with a reception time, and subsequently receiving a control node timing differential at the receiver. The local reception time of the non real-time frame marker is corrected to determine the proper return channel frame transmit start time by applying the control node timing differential and the local offset time. Users then uplink a message during an assigned period after the return channel frame transmit start time.

The present invention describes a method, network node and a system for controlling network resources for non real-time data connections in a mobile communication network. Further, the present describes an adaptive inactivity timer, which takes into account the history of the current traffic flow and the nature of the NRT traffic. Traffic must be measured in the mobile communication network for each NRT traffic flow to which the adaptive inactivity timer is used. Specially, the adaptive inactivity timer for the NRT bearers in the WCDMA networks (UTRAN, IP RAN) is concerned. The different NRT traffic protocols, e.g. the TCP, have known transport patterns. The releasing of different resources in mobile communication network can be made dependent of the traffic and on the phase of the transmission. For example, some TCP / IP traffic has different transmission pattern than the WTP has, and further the TCP / IP has different traffic patters in the beginning of the transmission and after a while.

Client-server system for providing web site preview information of web site content and features to users. The user enters a web site URL they want to preview into a client application, which generates preview information about the web site content and features. The client generates the web site preview information by building the preview information from preview information sources including the web site and / or requesting preview information from the server / back-end of the client-server system. Both the client and the server build preview information by accessing preview information sources such as web pages and web page information databases, extracting the requested preview information, formatting the preview information in a standard preview format, and returning the preview information to the user for display. While the client and server system build preview information from preview information sources in real-time, the server system also builds preview information in non-real-time by storing preview information in a preview information archive, and transmitting this pre-built preview information to clients in response to client preview information requests. In addition to providing web site preview information, the present invention may also be used to provide real-time or near real-time promotional information associated with a web site. The promotional information or announcement may be provided in conjunction with the preview information presented to the user. Specifically, when the user requests or is provided with preview information for a particular web site, the system “goes” to the web site and retrieves announcement information prepared by the web site sponsor. The announcement information may be in the form of an HTML file prepared by the web site's owner or marketing / promotional team. The HTML file is then presented to the user in conjunction with the presentation of the web site preview information.
