In an information transmission method, a radio communications system, a base station and a mobile station, a TBS size, a modulation scheme and the number of codes in a multicode are converted into identification data having a relatively smaller data size before being transmitted to a destination of communication. The TBS size is identified by using, in combination, an identification code identifying a channelization code set, an identification code identifying a modulation scheme, and an identification code obtained by converting a combination of the number of codes in a multicode and a modulation pattern identification (TFRC) into a corresponding code. Accordingly, the data size for TBS size identification is reduced. |

A system and method for improving radio communication of frequency or phase modulated transmission and reception. Signal transmission is implemented by suppression of the upper and lower sidebands of a narrowband or very narrowband FM/PM signal from the transmission medium such that transmission is limited to the instantaneous frequency varied about the carrier frequency (center frequency). Suppression may be achieved by adding a bandpass filter between the modulator and the power amplifier of the narrowband FM transmitter. Upon receipt of the suppressed sideband signal, the received signal is converted to a first narrowband IF signal, and then the narrowband or very narrowband frequency deviation IF signal is expanded by frequency multiplication to generate a second wideband or very wideband IF signal. A discriminator may be used to convert the frequency-multiplied signal into a low frequency signal or audio signal for further processing. Through sideband suppression, bandwidth requirements are reduced without affecting sound quality and signal-to-noise ratio is improved. |

The present invention provides a novel system, method and apparatus of delivering interactive voice response services in a more efficient manner over a network. The system provides for the placement of a subscriber station local 28 to the subscriber and a gateway protocol converter at the base station 40. The gateway protocol converter converts bandwidth-intensive audio messages into compact data messages, which upon transmission to the subscriber station 28 are converted back into audio messages. By using data messages instead of audio messages over the network, bandwidth is saved on the network for other traffic. Another embodiment of the invention provides a method for transmitting subscriber responses utilizing the system. In another embodiment of the invention, there is provided an IVR system that utilizes the VoiceXML standard, or the like, whereby the Document Server, VoiceXML Interpreter Context, and the Implementation Platform are distributed at various locations along the communication link between the IVR service provider and the subscriber stationnullsuch components being distributed along the link according to a desired utilization of network resources, such as bandwidth. |

A frequency extractor extracts an input frequency of an input signal. The frequency extractor includes a frequency multiplier, first and second filters, a binary circuit and a frequency divider. The frequency multiplier obtains a signal of a multiplied frequency, the multiplied frequency being N times the input frequency, N being an integer greater than 1. The first filter, having a first bandwidth, filters the signal of the multiplied frequency to provide a first filtered signal. The binary circuit binarizes the first filtered signal to a binary signal. The frequency divider divides the binary signal by a factor of N to provide a divided signal. The second filter, having a second bandwidth, filters the divided signal to generate the input frequency in a form of a continuous wave, wherein the second bandwidth is about 1/N times the first bandwidth. |

A method and system thereof for reducing the energy consumed when decoding an encoded and synchronized multimedia data stream, wherein the data stream is non-preemptable and subject to precedence constraints. In a client-server environment, the server delivers to the client the stream for decoding. The client has a processor operating on a discrete variable-voltage power supply. Prior to transmitting the stream to the client, the server produces an execution schedule according to the precedence constraints. The server also assigns a voltage setting for each task in the schedule, wherein each task decodes a frame in the stream without preemption. The server transmits the execution schedule and voltage settings to the client with the encoded data stream. The schedule and voltage settings reduce energy consumption by the client while satisfying multimedia timing constraints. |

In a first preferred embodiment, instead of the handset (204) receiving standard ephemeris and clock correction data elements in a GPS assistance message, a compressed GPS assistance message containing XYZ information contains a GPS satellite's coordinate position modified according to the satellite clock correction. In a second preferred embodiment, there is a first type of compressed GPS assistance message containing subframe 1, 2, 3 data of a GPS satellite broadcast message and a second type of compressed GPS assistance message containing subframe 4, 5 data of a GPS satellite broadcast message. The compressed GPS assistance messages according to the second preferred embodiment lack redundant or predictable information in order to reduce the size of the compressed GPS assistance message. The first type can be updated at a different rate than the second type in order to reduce the traffic and yet keep the handset (204) up to date. |

The system includes a data conditioner (36) configured to condition the received digital data stream (22) to produce data subsets (66). A frame generator (36) expands each of the data subsets (66) to generate distinct signal sets (68). The distinct signal sets (68) are expressed in a data size greater than the data subsets (66) to compensate for lossy compression cause by the lossy compression service (24). A transmitter is in communication with the frame generator (36) and transmits digitized ones of the distinct signal sets (68) in frames of a digital bit stream (126) over the communication path (28). |

A new retransmission-based error control technique that does not incur any additional latency in frame playout times and is suitable for interactive video applications. This retransmission technique combined with layered video coding yields good error resilience for interactive video conferencing. The technique exploits the temporal dependency of inter-coded frames and can be easily incorporated into motion-compensation based coding standards such as MPEG and H.261, achieving very good compression efficiency. |
