Abstract: A personal communications device configured to communicate with a wide area network in response to an alternate mode activation signal is provided. The personal communications device also comprises a signal broker operatively connected to a monitored interface from among the one or more interfaces along a control path. The signal broker is configured to monitor signals at the monitored interface and upon observing an alternate mode activation signal at the monitored interface, inject an alternate mode signal configured to initiate the alternate communication over the wide area network. In some embodiments, the alternate communication is different from a communication that would have occurred in the absence of the injected alternate mode signal. The alternate mode signal may comprise an emergency mode signal configured to initiate an emergency communication over the wide area network.  The emergency communication may comprise an SMS message, a telephone call, an HTTP  command, an email, or the like.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a mobile station performs 'keep-alive' signaling with a serving radio access network (RAN), transmitting its identity without necessarily an accompanying data portion. The serving RAN does not necessarily acknowledge. Thereby, the mobile station maintains state synchronization with the serving RAN, which also benefits in being able to timely release a context when the 'keep-alive' transmission is not continued. In one aspect, the mobile station utilizes random access procedures (RACH) for uplink data arrival with a 0-byte MAC buffer status report whose identifying Cell Radio Network Temporary Identity (C-RNTI) can be used by the serving RAN for keep alive purposes. In another aspect, the mobile station can perform non-access stratum (NAS) signaling containing identification for the mobile station that is supported by underlying access stratum (AS) signaling via the serving RAN. This identifying NAS signaling is detected or a downstream recipient alerts the serving RAN.

Filed: 2010-11-18
Abstract: A super-gather is constructed by interleaving traces from a hydrophone gather and a geophone gather in seismic data such that traces pertaining to co-located hydrophones and geophones are adjacent to each other. A noise-attenuated super-gather, generated by applying an f-x domain noise identifying and attenuation process to the super-gather, is subtracted from the super-gather to generate a super-gather noise model. A  hydrophone gather noise model, generated by removing non-noisy geophone gather traces from the super--gather noise model, is subtracted from the hydrophone gather to generate seismic data with interference noise attenuated.
