Title: Inter-Relay Interference Avoidance in a Wireless Communications Network
Inventor: YONG SUN
IPC: H04B7/204
Filed: 2006-11-22
Abstract: A method and network for providing inter-relay interference (IRI) avoidance in a cellular communications network comprising at least one base station defining a cell and a plurality of relay stations associated with the base station. The interference avoidance method establishes at least one threshold in at least one performance criterion (e.g. signal strength, propensity to cause interference, etc.) for communication between mobile stations and relay stations in said cell. The performance threshold(s) is/are used to define transmission groups and each mobile station is allocated to a transmission group on the basis of its performance against said threshold(s). Links for simultaneous communication are then selected on the basis of membership of said transmission groups. This selection preferably involves determining, for a desired system performance (e.g. high throughput, fair transmission, etc.), transmission groups that can compete or operate at the same time, such that mobile stations belonging to said groups can communicate simultaneously. For example, if high throughput is desired for two adjacent relay station zones, a transmission group based on high power and low interference may be allowed to operate in one relay station zone at the same time as a transmission group based on high power and low interference operates in an adjacent relay station zone.

Title: Compressing Program Instruction Codes
Inventor: LU YEN-JU
IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 2007-01-03
Abstract: Instruction codes for a computer program are divided into blocks, which may correspond to cache lines. The blocks are compressed and the compression ratio is compared with a target ratio. If the ratio does not match the target, the blocks are rearranged and the process repeated. The process of rearranging may include inserting new instruction codes such as no-operation instruction codes. Target addresses in the instruction codes, such as those in branches, jumps and calls, may be adjusted to compensate for the added instructions. "Don't care" bits may be added to the blocks. The number of instructions in a block may be a power of 2 and the compression ratio may be an inverse power of 2. The instructions may be compressed using Huffman or arithmetic encoding. Reference bits giving the states of the instructions may be added to the compressed blocks.

Title: Multiplexing RTP packets carrying MPEG TS into a jumbo frame for IP network broadcasting
Inventor: KIMIYAMA KENJI
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2008-03-12
Abstract: MPEG Transport Streams (TS) are encapsulated within Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets for broadcast over a content delivery network (CDN). Each RTP packet may include multiple TSs. Where there are multiple broadcast sources and the GDN maximum frame size can accommodate it without fragmentation, the RTP packets are multiplexed into a common ethernet jumbo frame before broadcast. The multiplexing includes identifying the programme with the highest data rate as a master and using its clock for demultiplexing and reproducing all of the programmes. Where other programmes data rates are lower than the master rate, dummy date may be included in the multiplex frame. The invention should simplify receiver hardware and reduce contention in the CDN.

Title: Gearbox with a mainshaft having an overrunning hub and spring biased pawls
Inventor: MOORE ADRIAN
IPC: F16D11/10
Filed: 2008-09-23
Abstract: A mainshaft assembly for a gearbox comprises a mainshaft 44, and several drive gears 31-36, each carried for rotation about the mainshaft, each drive gear having a different number of teeth. The assembly includes first and a second hub 50, 50', each being associated with a respective drive gear 31-36, each hub having a dog ring 54, 54' operable to selectively couple with the drive gear 31-36 causing it to rotate with the hub 50, 50' or uncouple from the drive gear 31-36 to allow the drive gear 31-36 to rotate with respect to the hub 50, 50'. A cage 42 and pawls (64, 66, fig 1) are associated with each hub 50, 50' and selectively connects the hub 50, 50' to the mainshaft 44 for rotation with it or to allow rotation with respect to it when the pawls are displaced against a spring bias (68, fig 3). Upon connection of the hubs 50, 50' by their dog rings 54, 54' to each corresponding drive gear 31-36, the cage 42 and pawls (64, 66) operate to connect one of the hubs 50, 50' to the mainshaft 44 when torque is applied in a first direction and to connect the other one of the hubs 50, 50' to the mainshaft 44 when torque is applied in the opposite direction. This enables selection of a gear ratio to be achieved by reversal of the torque being handled by the gearbox (as happens, for example, when a vehicle goes through a transition from accelerative drive to coasting). There is no delay while drive engagement means take up or disengage drive. A helper assembly or control means (70, fig 8) retains the pawls (64, 66) in their deployed position thereby supplementing the biasing action of springs (68).
