Title: Removing Service Data Units from a management buffer
Inventor: SINGH JAGDEEP
IPC: H04W36/02
Filed: 2006-10-03
Abstract: In a telecommunication system, Service Data Units (SDUs) are received and copies are stored in an SDU management buffer 101. The SDUs are concatenated and segmented 105 to generate Protocol Data Units (PDUs), which are stored in a transmission buffer 111 for transmission to a mobile communication device. A feedback message 113 is sent to the SDU management buffer identifying an SDU that may be removed when, for Unacknowledge Mode (UM) data, the PDUs corresponding to that SDU have been forwarded from the transmission buffer or when, for Acknowledge Mode (AM) data, receipt of the PDUs corresponding to the SDU has been acknowledged by the mobile communication device. In response to receipt of the feedback message, the identified SDU is removed from the SDU management buffer. A system is also proposed to provide handover in which a source base station stops downlink traffic on detecting a handover in progress whereas the uplink traffic is separately stopped by the user equipment on receiving a handover command. A new buffer management entity is provided in the outer ARQ entities for controlling the storage of data packets that are to be forwarded to a target base station in order to prevent or minimise packet loss.

Title: Digital wavelet generators for multi-resolution spectrum sensing of cognitive radio applications
Inventor: LEE CHANG-HO
IPC: G06F1/03
Filed: 2007-07-30
Abstract: A multi-point digital wavelet generator stores digitized data points in rows 208 in a memory 202, determines which rows are to be skipped and non-skipped, retrieves the data points from the non-skipped rows and processes the retrieved data points in accordance with a clock frequency to generate an analogue wavelet basis, wherein a duration of the analogue wavelet basis is determined based, at least in part, upon the skipped data points and the clock frequency. A multi-rate digital wavelet generator includes a memory, for storing digitized data points in rows, a clock with a selectable frequency and a DAC. The DAC receives the digitized data points from the stored rows and processes the received data in accordance with selected clock frequency to generate an analogue wavelet basis, wherein the duration of the analogue wavelet basis decreases as the clock frequency increases. The digital wavelet generators provide flexible spectrum-sensing resolutions for a multi-resolution spectrum sensing (MRSS) technique.

Title: A computing device with a graphical authentication interface
Inventor: RIDDIFORD MARTIN
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2009-07-10
Abstract: A computing device (e.g. personal computer, cellular telephone, Automated Teller Machine, security access system, point of sale terminal) has a graphical authentication interface displaying a base image F. In order to authenticate itself, a user aligns a pre-selected element B (e.g. a cursor, number, letter, word, colour, shape, line or icon) present in a secondary image layer overlying the base image with a pre-selected element A in the base image, e.g. a user-selected memorable point of interest or safe point. The secondary image layer may comprise user-identifiable elements arranged in a pattern or grid (figs. 8 and 9) with the whole pattern or grid being movable over the base image, e.g. using cursors, touch to drag, or mouse. The base image may be equivalent to a desktop background picture, imported from a user's photos library, or a personal picture. The layout of the grid may be changed every time it appears. A combination of hexadecimal information associated with elements in the base and secondary layers may be used to form an authentication key. The invention is more secure than conventional password and PIN systems because someone watching over a user's shoulder cannot write down an image to steal.
