Title: System and method of group calling in mobile communications.
Inventor: SHAMIM A NAQVI
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2002-04-24
Abstract: Information is retrieved from a list of members of a group call group (Fig.7). Based on the retrieved information, a group call is established between first and second mobile stations (MS). The first MS is served by a first base station controller (BSC) and the second MS is served by a second BSC. Voice data for the group call is transmitted in a multicase session. Based on a history of group calls between two points in a mobile communications network, a determination is made as to whether to establish a multicast session between the two points, e.g., in anticipation of a future group call.

Patent MX-PA04007173-A (MX)
Title: Selective combining of multiple non-synchronous transmissions in a wireless communication system.
Inventor: TAO CHEN
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2003-01-16
Abstract: Techniques for selectively combining multiple transmissions to recover a message comprised of multiple frames. Initially, each transmission is separately processed to recover the message. If the message cannot be recovered error-free from any single transmission, then portions of multiple transmissions are selectively combined to recover the message. Erased frames in a message recovered from a primary transmission (e.g., the one with the best pilot Ec/I0) and good frames from other transmissions are determined (e.g., based on the frame-level CRC). One or more combined messages are then formed, each including a different set of good frames substituting for the erased frames. If a good frame cannot be derived from any single transmission for a given erased frame, then symbols from multiple transmissions may be combined to derive the good frame. Each combined message is checked (e.g., based on the message-level CRC) to determine whether it is good or erased.

Title: Method for the detection of earthquake precursors.
Inventor: GERA BHIM SINGH
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel use of a SODAR system to detect precursor of a major earthquake of intensity not less than 5.0 on the Richter scale.
