Title: Bundling of ack information in a wireless communication system
Inventor: SARKAR SANDIP
IPC: H04L1/16
Filed: 2009-05-07
Abstract: Techniques for bundling acknowledgement (ACK) information in a wireless communication system are described. In one design, a user equipment (UE) may receive multiple codewords in at least one downlink subframe. The UE may decode the multiple codewords and determine an ACK or a negative acknowledgement (NACK) for each codeword based on decoding result. The UE may bundle the ACKs and NACKs for the multiple codewords to obtain bundled ACK information. In one design, the UE may generate (i) a bundled ACK if ACKs are obtained for all codewords or (ii) a bundled NACK if a NACK  is obtained for any codeword. The UE may send the bundled ACK information as feedback for the multiple codewords. The UE may receive retransmissions of the multiple codewords if a bundled NACK is sent and may receive new codewords if a bundled ACK is sent.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for simultaneous attitude maneuver and momentum dumping. The attitude maneuver is performed using nominal wheel control to minimize propellant usage, while applying a momentum management command to the thruster control loop in order for the wheels to accomplish the desired spacecraft maneuver while simultaneously being reset to a de-saturated target state. The system and method involve a wheel system comprised of reaction wheels and/or a control moment gyroscope (CMG), at least one thruster, and control logic that is in communication with the wheel system and thruster(s). If a spacecraft maneuver is in progress, the control logic biases an error input signal to a thruster control loop to track the wheel maneuver to prevent unnecessary propellant consumption. The control logic is further operable to output thruster torque commands and wheel torque commands that accomplish the maneuver while achieving the desired final momentum target.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium is disclosed for prominent selection cues for icons. When an icon is in focus, and after expiration of a predetermined period of time, the icon can be displayed more prominently, e.g., display a larger representation of the icon, thereby increasing the icon's visibility. The icon can be displayed more prominently after the icon remains in focus for a predetermined amount of time. This functionality can be advantageous in applications having limited display area, such as on portable media players and mobile devices. Accordingly, the smaller display area of such devices is used more effectively by using prominent selection cues for navigating and displaying information.
