Abstract: A method for handover a mobile unit from a first base station to a second base station in a wireless communication systems employing smart antenna technology. Following trigger events of a handover, the mobile station generates a physical signal sounding pulse transmitted by an isotropic antenna. The sounding pulse may consist of a common sequence of symbols or a specific sequence of symbols that uniquely identifies the mobile station. A series of sounding pulses can be sent according to a power ramping procedure until a base station has focused a communications beam toward the mobile. Receiving base stations provide feedback information upon detection of the sounding pulse allowing the mobile unit and/or base station to form communication beams toward each other. A mapping protocol may also be utilized by the communication system.

Abstract: A method for programming a memory cell is based on applying stress to a
memory cell, comprising a first electrode, a second electrode and an inter-electrode layer,
to induce a progressive change in a property of the inter-electrode layer. The method
includes a verify step including generating a signal, such as a cell current, indicating the
value of the property in the selected memory cell. Then, the signal is compared with a
reference signal to verify programming of the desired data. Because of the progressive
nature of the change, many levels of programming can be achieved. The many levels of
programming can be applied for programming a single cell more than once, without an
erase process, to programming multiple bits in a single cell, and to a combination of
multiple bit and multiple time of programming.
