Base station, mobile station, and power control method

Abstract: A base station includes: means that derives a transmission power of a mobile station based on receive quality of an uplink pilot channel; means that reports the derived transmission power to the mobile station; and means that receives a control channel transmitted by the mobile station according to the reported information. Accordingly, irrespective of transmission power history over a past continuous time, the mobile station receives an instruction on the transmission power from the base station each time when transmitting a packet so as to be able to adjust the transmission power.

ProtoPeer: a P2P toolkit bridging the gap between simulation and live deployement

Abstract: Simulators are a commonly used tool in peer-to-peer systems research. However, they may not be able to capture all the details of a system operating in a live network. Transitioning from the simulation to the actual system implementation is a non-trivial and time-consuming task. We present ProtoPeer, a peer-to-peer systems prototyping toolkit that allows for switching between the event-driven simulation and live network deployment without changing any of the application code. ProtoPeer defines a set of APIs for message passing, message queuing, timer operations as well as overlay routing and managing the overlay neighbors. Users can plug in their own custom implementations of most of the parts of ProtoPeer including custom network models for simulation and custom message passing over different network stacks. ProtoPeer is not only a framework for building systems but also for evaluating them. It has a unified system-wide infrastructure for event injection, measurement logging, measurement aggregation and managing evaluation scenarios. The simulator scales to tens of thousands of peers and gives accurate predictions closely matching the live network measurements.

Electronic value system

Abstract: An electronic value amount of an electronic bank account and an electronic value amount stored in user identification module UIM in mobile station MS are each stored in an electronic bank server EBS, and updated by the server when either amount changes as a result of transaction.

Method and apparatus for authentication of data streams with adaptively controlled losses

Abstract: Methods, components, and systems for efficient authentication, either through a digital signature or message authentication codes, and verification of a digital stream sent from a source to a receiver via zero or more intermediaries, such that the source or intermediary (or both) can remove certain portions of the data stream without inhibiting the ability of the ultimate receiver to verify the authenticity and integrity of the data received. According to the invention, a source may sign an entire data stream once, but may permit either itself or an intermediary to efficiently remove certain portions of the stream before transmitting the stream to the ultimate recipient, without having to re-sign the entire stream. Applications may include the signing of media streams which often need to be further processed to accommodate the resource requirements of a particular environment. Another application allows an intermediary to choose an advertisement to include in a given slot.

Controller and transmission and reception method for radio communications in a transceiver for radio communications

Abstract: A controller in a transceiver for radio communications in which the same frequency is shared between multiple communications systems is disclosed that includes: a cyclic autocorrelation value calculation part configured to calculate the cyclic autocorrelation value of a first one of the communications systems from a received signal; and a data transmission authorization part configured to determine whether to authorize data transmission in a second one of the communications systems based on the calculated cyclic autocorrelation value of the first one of the communications systems.
