METHODS AND DEVICES FOR DUAL-DIRECTION POSITIONING OF A DEVICE
A positioning estimate for a user equipment (UE) is determined based on a combination of uplink-based positioning and downlink-based positioning. Positioning measurements based on downlink signals and uplink signals can be utilized to determine the positioning estimate. The positioning estimate may be computed by the UE or a node of a wireless communications network. This positioning scheme can include two parts, where a first part and second part are either uplink-based or downlink-based, but the two parts are different from each other. Positioning measurements performed in the first part may be sent along with reference signals in the second part.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY CHARACTERISTICS
A wireless communication network (102) can employ techniques for the network (102) to indicate specific radio access characteristics to be used by a user equipment (100) 5 when responding to a paging message. The network (102) can indicate a specific radio access technology (RAT) that the UE (100) should use when connecting to the network (102). In this manner, the UE (100) can initiate a connection using the desired RAT rather than first initiating a connection with an incorrect RAT and performing a handover or network reconfiguration.
For uplink-based positioning, a transmission of an uplink reference signal via a transmit beam at a user equipment (UE) (100) is coordinated with a respective receive beams at one or more receivers (110). A positioning computation node (105) sends configuration information to the UE (100) and to the one or more receivers (110). The configuration information enables the receivers (110) to configure receive beams (111) to receive the uplink reference signal transmission from the UE (100). The receivers (110) perform various measurements of the uplink reference signal and report the measurements as well as beam information to the positioning computation node (105), which generates a position estimate.

A peer-to-peer (P2P) application which can be applied to TVs. The P2P application promotes a social networking aspect by allowing devices connecting to either the home mesh network and/or Internet to share contents and create common-interest channels. The P2P application does not require support from network infrastructure (e.g., no central servers), and consequently is extremely cost-effective and easy to deploy. The distributed nature of this system allows users to join or leave the network at will. It takes advantage of the local home mesh network connectivity, or existing Internet connections. A participant that tunes into a broadcast on an Internet channel is not only downloading a video stream, but also uploading it to other participants watching the program. Data mining systems capture user preferences and create personalized Internet channels on the TV using the P2P network.

An embodiment is a technique to collect network and device information. A request for local information is responded to. The request is sent by a remote node in an ad hoc home mesh network. A first node listed in a local route table is queried for node information of the first node. Querying is expanded to a second node in the ad hoc home mesh network using the node information. The second node is a neighbor of the first node.
A near field communication (NFC) sticker which stores a key is attached to a new client device. A remote commander in a home network reads the key using a NFC interface and IR-transmits it to a home network server. Once the client is connected to the network, it encrypts its own device information with the key and sends the encrypted information to the server, which decrypts the data with the key sent from the remote commander. In this way, client device registration is executed easily and securely.

Client device, information processing system and associated methodology of accessing networked services
A system provides access to services from different servers via a common API. The system includes service-offering servers, a client that uses services offered by the service-offering servers, and an interchange server that acts as an intermediary when the client uses a service. The client communicates with the interchange server using a common API when the client uses service from the service-offering servers. The interchange server uses a unique API, which is unique to the service-offering server that offers the service being used by the client, to execute a processing sequence that is unique to the service-offering server. Thus client is able to use services offered by the service-offering servers with the use of a common API and without any need to use a different unique API for each service-offering server.

Home network system with transmission error recovery
A client TV in a home entertainment network receives and buffers an audio/video stream from a server, before playing the stream. In the case of buffer underflow, the client TV requests the server to raise the transmission rate. If this causes an ensuing buffer overflow, the client TV requests the server to reset the transmission rate or stop transmitting altogether for a short time.

A method of improving the computation speed of the sum of absolute transformed distances (SATD) for different intra-prediction modes is described. Determining the SATD quicker provides the benefits of better coding performance without suffering the drawbacks of longer computation times. The method of reducing intra-prediction and mode decision processes in a video encoder, implements Hadamard transforms with improvements. Hadamard transforms are performed on an original block and predicted blocks and calculations are only performed where coefficients are non-zero thus skipping the coefficients that are zero. Using such an approach, the calculations required for the Vertical Prediction, Horizontal Prediction and DC Prediction are reduced significantly. Thus, the best intra-prediction mode is able to be determined very efficiently.
