Device and method for transmitting a message from a client device to a service center

Abstract: A client device (22) in a communication system (20) having a service center (24). The client device (22) includes a microcomputer (40) and a wireless communication device (42). The microcomputer (40) may generate a message and determine whether the message includes high-priority data. The wireless communication device (42) has the capability of transmitting the message to the service center (24) over each of a plurality of bearer services. The microcomputer (40) then sequentially selects to transmit the message over each of the plurality of bearer services according to a first sequential order until the message is transmitted to the service center (24) if the message includes high-priority data. Alternatively, the microcomputer (40) sequentially selects to transmit the message over each of the plurality of bearer services according to a second sequential order until the message is transmitted to the service center (24) if the message does not include high-priority data. There are also methods of performing these functions in the client device.

Method for selecting transmission preferences

Abstract: In a communication system a method for selecting a set of preferences for use during transmission of information to a particular destination anticipates selecting a list of one or more destinations (502), each destination having a key and a set of preferences, each preference further having a value. A historical database is indexed via (504 and 508) the key to retrieve a set of database entries, each entry having a set of preferences, each preference further having a value. The retrieved database entries are filtered (506 and 512) in order to identify those entries exhibiting a predefined set of criteria. After filtering (518), the preference values (514 and 516) within the identified database entries are applied during transmission and subsequent processing of the information (520).

RISC microprocessor architecture with multi-bit tag extended instructions for selectively attaching tag from either instruction or input data to arithmetic operation output

Abstract: A RICS microprocessor architecture is provided with a plurality of data registers and instruction registers each having a multi-bit extension for extending the width of the data and instruction words processed therethrough. A first plurality of bits within a tag field of the multi-bit extension are reserved for identifying the data type of the data words while a second plurality of bits provide instruction dependent control. The multi-bit extension allows full precision computation for the data words requiring the tag field to identify the data type thereof while retaining full precision compatibility for data words not needing tag field identifiers. At least two bits of the first plurality of bits in tag field are reserved for identifying one of several primary categories of data types and at least two bits identify one of several subtype categories within each of the plurality of primary categories. An extended set of machine instructions is also provided for efficient usage of the multi-bit extension appended to the data and instruction registers.

Ack/nack determination reliability for a communication device

Abstract: A method for ACK/NACK determination reliability for a communication device includes a first step of defining (602) a supplementary indicator of message acceptability. A next step includes sending (604) data from a communication device to a BTS on an uplink channel. A next step includes checking (606) the data to see if it was properly received. A next step includes providing (608, 612) the supplementary indicator of message acceptability to the communication device in addition to ACK/NACK information. A next step includes utilizing (610, 614) the supplementary indicator of message acceptability to determine a reliability of the ACK/NACK information.

Channel quality management in a cable telephony system

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a communication system (100) for allocating and controlling data transmissions to and from communications unit (134) in communications system (100). The communication systems (100) includes a cable distribution network (106) with a base communications unit (102) and a number of downstream communications units (134) all connected to the cable distribution network (106). A plurality of channels are used to transmit data transmissions between the base communications unit (100) and the downstream communications unit (134). Uplink and downlink channels are monitored to determine channel quality for each of the channels in communications system (100). The determined channel quality is used to both initiate transfers of communications links to other frequencies and for assigning channels to various communications units (134).
