20090005104 | Method and System for a Reliable Relay-Associated and Opportunistic Cooperative Transmission Schemes - A base station (BS) communicates with a mobile station (MS) through relay stations (RSs). In one exemplary reliable relay-associated transmission scheme, the BS transmits data to the RSs using multicast or unicast. From the received packets, each RS calculates its reliability value according to a reliability function, which it informs the MS. The BS then generates a reliability metric to identify the RSs that are considered reliable. The reliable RSs transmit their information to the MS under a cooperative multicast transmission mode. Meanwhile, the unreliable RSs overhear the transmissions between the reliable RSs and the target MS. If the MS is unable to receive information from reliable RSs, the unreliable RSs can join the cooperative transmission to provide a higher cooperative diversity gain to the target MS. | 01-01-2009 |
20110207397 | Method and System for a Reliable Relay-Associated and Opportunistic Cooperative Transmission Schemes - A cooperative communication scheme is provided for a base station (BS) to communicate with a mobile station (MS) through a group of relay stations (RSs). The RSs, collectively referred to as a relay-associated group of RSs (R-group), serve the same target MS. The R-group may be formed during initial ranging or during periodical ranging of the MSs, according to the channel conditions between the MSs and the RSs. A reliable relay-associated transmission scheme provides fast recovery and reduces the burden on the BS. In one exemplary scheme, the BS transmits data to the R-group. To ensure that reliable transmission exists between the BS and the R-group, the BS initially sends the information to all the RSs in the R-group using multicast or unicast mode. In one embodiment, after receiving the packets from the BS, each RS in the R-group calculates its reliability value according to a reliability function which may depend on (a) the channel conditions between the BS and the RSs, (b) the channel conditions between the RSs and the MS, and (c) the load status at the RSs. The RSs then feedback their reliability values in a message (“relay-associated acknowledgement message” or R-ACK). | 08-25-2011 |

TVPV can be measured by administering a second molecule which is non-metabolized and impermeable to vessel walls of the vascular system wherein the second molecule is distributed within only the vascular space. IFV can then be calculated using the equation IFV=ECFV−TVPV. | 11-01-2012 |

20100142849 | Method and apparatus for shoot suppression in image detail enhancement - A general shoot suppression method and system for image detail enhancement that provides good suppression in shoot areas while preserving the enhancement (with less or no suppression) in non-shoot areas. Asymmetry checker checks the luminance variation of pixels around the current pixel within a filtering range.

Higher suppression is applied to those patterns that are more likely to cause overshoot/undershoot. Optionally, suppression is further associated with the intensity of detail signal at each pixel position. An intensity checker checks the magnitude of the detail signal.
