Title: Telephone directory information sharing system for mobile phones
Inventor: SHIBATA NAOYA
IPC: H04W4/12
Filed: 2003-09-10
Abstract: A telephone directory information sharing system is used among a plurality of mobile phones. When a sending end newly registers or changes telephone directory information, e.g. a new telephone number, in his/her mobile phone, an e-mail program 11 in the sender's mobile phone automatically transmits the telephone directory information by e-mail to plural receivers. When receiving the e-mail message, a sharing control section 12 in the receiver's mobile phone analyzes the e-mail message containing the telephone directory information to be shared. Subsequently, a telephone directory information registering section 13 in the receiver's mobile phone automatically registers the telephone directory information and updates its telephone directory. By this means, it becomes possible to easily share updated telephone directory information among a plurality of mobile phones simultaneously without further installation of a special server.

Title: Training symbol format for mimo ofdm systems
Inventor: LIN XINTIAN
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2005-12-29
Abstract: OFDM training symbol formats are provided for use in a MIMO based wireless communication system that uses adaptive power loading. In one embodiment of the invention, during a first training time slot of a wireless data frame, the modulated tones of a first OFDM training symbol are divided among a plurality of spatial channels. Then during a second training time slot of the wireless data frame, the modulated tones of a second OFDM training symbol are divided among the plurality of spatial channels under the condition that none of the same tones that were previously assigned to a particular spatial channel are repeated within that spatial channel. Thus, an OFDM training symbol format is used that is capable of enhancing training symbol signal to noise ratio (SNR).
