A method and system for receiving a client's instructions with regard to specifying an output mechanism and a data type for data received from an automatic data collection (“ADC”) device on an ADC device platform The method and system allows client applications to register their ADC data requests in a grid that is referenced during the processing of received ADC data Clients, residing either on the ADC device platform or on a remote computing system, register with a data transfer mechanism to receive data via a particular output mechanism Following registration of a client's preferred output mechanism, the data transfer mechanism forwards all data received for the client by the ADC device platform to the client's specified output mechanism Using the data transfer mechanism, the same set of input data, destined for more than one application, may be simultaneously transmitted over different output mechanisms The invention may utilize data output mechanisms such as pipes, remote procedure calls (“RPC”), sockets, stream files, NetBIOS, mail slots, NetDDE, and shared memory The invention further allows the updating of existing data output grids or the addition of new information in data grids in association with a newly added ADC device, a newly added output condition, or a newly added client

Automatic data collection device that receives data output instruction from data consumer

Automatic data collection devices such as barcode readers, RFID readers, magnetic stripe readers and the like may be tested using ADC device test executables, modules or processes stored at a variety of network locations. One or more sets of tests or work lists may be defined to facilitate testing. Tests may be identified by name and/or keyword. Keywords may be indicative one or more functionalities tested by the respective ADC device test module.

Testing automatic data collection devices, such as barcode, rfid and/or magnetic stripe readers

A first UL-DL configuration configured by using a common RRC message is set; an antenna port for one enhanced physical downlink control channel in a subframe is set based on whether or not the subframe is a predetermined special subframe in the first UL-DL configuration; and in a case where a second UL-DL configuration indicated by downlink control information which is transmitted on a physical downlink control channel is set, an antenna port for one enhanced physical downlink control channel in the subframe is set based on whether or not the subframe is the predetermined special subframe in the second UL-DL configuration.

Terminal device, base station device, and communication method

Among other things, a communication system comprising remote units and a controller is described. Each of the remote units comprises one or more radio frequency (RF) units to exchange RF signals with mobile devices. At least some of the RF signals comprise information destined for, or originating from, a mobile device. The controller comprises one or more modems and is connected to an external network. At least one of the modems is a baseband modem and is configured to pass first data corresponding to the information. The at least one of the modems is configured to perform real-time scheduling of the first data corresponding to the information. The controller is separated from the remote units by an intermediate network. The intermediate network comprises a switched Ethernet network over which second data corresponding to the information is carried in frames between the controller and the remote units.

Radio access networks

A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capable system is contemplated. The communication system may include a signal processor configured to separate an input stream into multiple signal paths to facilitate simultaneous transport through a communication medium. The capability to simultaneously transmit multiples signal paths may be beneficial in order to maximize throughput and/or minimize expense.

Multiple-input multiple-output (mimo) communication system

In a radio access network, multiple radio network controllers are connected to several radio nodes using a network. The interconnected radio network controllers and radio nodes are addressable, and, therefore, each radio network controller can communicate directly with each radio node and visa versa. The radio access network can be configured to avoid active handoffs between radio network controllers by maintaining a traffic channel set up between an access terminal and a radio network controller even as the flow.

Radio network control

A radio network controller and methods for reestablishing sessions in a wireless network are described. At least a portion of session information associated with a first session is saved; and in response to detecting an unexpected degradation of the first session, reestablishment of the first session is triggered using the portion of the session information.

Preserving sessions in a wireless network

A device receives information about signals detected by an access terminal, a first one of the signals corresponds to a radio node with which the access terminal is in communication, and if a second signal detected by the access terminal does not correspond to signals in use by the radio node and the access terminal, and if a condition is met, the devise causes the access terminal to alter communication with the radio node.

Radio frequency dragging prevention

In a radio access network, techniques for defining a non-circular paging area in which an access terminal is to be paged based on distance-based location updating information for a sector of the network.
