| 20110105077 | BACK-CHANNELED PACKETED DATA - A processor node stores and processes the last known location for certain mobile terminals to provide intermediate back-channel data in a form that is a function of whether the intermediate back-channel data is to be used in a situation that would encroach on information that might be sensitive to the subscriber or user of the mobile terminal, as viewed contractually, ethically or otherwise. If, for example, the subscriber or user of the mobile terminal has no such concerns (rights have been waived voluntarily by agreement with the wireless network operator or a third party, or involuntarily such as by a government mandate), the processor node generates location-identity-based back-channel data in a form that does not attempt to hide or code the user's identity and/or specific location. This form of (nonanonymized) data can be freely used internally by processor nodes internal to the wireless carrier as well as produced for review and analysis, such as demographic analytics, for use by a third party. Further, it is possible that this information can include other information from the user profile and/or the contract information used to permit the mobile terminal access to the network. | 2011-05-05 |

The first message includes the power management profile of the first communications device and the second message includes information pertinent to a power management profile of the second communications device, and signal integrity information determined by the second communications device from the received first message. The first communications device enables a third antenna configuration in accordance with the first pre-determined rule and the second communications device activates a fourth antenna in accordance with the second pre-determined rule configuration after the first and second messages have been exchanged. | 2011-05-05 |
| 20110105176 | Method and System for Mobile Receiver Architecture for US Band Cellular and VHF/UHF Broadcasting - In a video processing system, a method and system for a mobile receiver architecture for US Band cellular and VHF/UHF broadcasting are provided. Received channels may be processed in at least one radio frequency front end (RFFE) in a mobile terminal and may comprise at least one of a VHF/UHF broadcast channel and World band cellular channels capable of carrying voice and data. The cellular channels may be WCDMA 1900 or 850 MHz and GSM 1900 or 850 MHz. A single cellular/broadcast radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) may be utilized for processing the received channels. In another embodiment, a cellular band RFIC may process the EU band cellular channels and a broadcast RFIC may process the broadcast channel. Moreover, a first RFIC may process the WCDMA channels, a second RFIC may process the GSM channels, and a broadcast RFIC may process the broadcast channel. | 2011-05-05 |
