Patent CA-2670227-A1 (CA)
Inventor: QU SHOUXING
IPC: H04W28/04
Filed: 2009-06-23
Abstract: An apparatus, and an associated methodology, for facilitating communication of data in a wireless communication systems. Binary data are modulated to form modulated symbols on parallel paths. The symbols formed on one of the parallel paths are phase-offset by a phase rotator to form phase-offset symbols. The parallel paths of symbols provide the symbols, both the phase-offset symbols and the symbols that are not phase-offset, to an Alamouti encoder. As a result, the dynamic range of the transmitted RF signals is reduced due to the introduction of the phase offset between the symbols of the parallel paths applied to the Alamouti encoder.

Title: Ion mobility spectrometers
Inventor: ATKINSON JONATHAN RICHARD
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2008-03-06
Abstract: An ion mobility spectrometer has a reaction region (5) separated from a drift region (20) by an electroststic gate (21). A doping circuit (8) supplies a dopant to the reaction region (5) but the drift region (20) is undoped.

Abstract: Systems, methodologies, and devices are described that employ indicators related to a parameter value(s) associated with a neighbor cell to facilitate communication by a mobile device in a network. The mobile device optionally can read a parameter value associated with a detected neighbor cell, and can provide, to the serving base station, signal strength information and indicator information that indicates whether the mobile device read the parameter value. The serving base station can select a cell to which the mobile device is to be communicatively connected based in part on evaluating the received information. If a parameter value is not read by the mobile device, the serving base station can request the parameter value from a neighbor cell. The neighbor cell can provide a one-to-one indicator to indicate when a specified parameter value is to be applied with regard to a particular base station.
