Optical fiber-based distributed antenna systems that support multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antenna configurations and communications. Embodiments disclosed herein include optical fiber-based distributed antenna system that can be flexibly configured to support or not support MIMO communications configurations. In one embodiment, first and second MIMO communication paths are shared on the same optical fiber using frequency conversion to avoid interference issues, wherein the second communication path is provide to a remote extension unit to remote antenna unit. In another embodiment, the optical fiber-based distributed antenna systems may be configured to allow to provide MIMO communication configurations with existing components. Existing capacity of system components are employed to create second communication paths for MIMO configurations, thereby reducing overall capacity, but allowing avoidance of frequency conversion components and remote extension units.

Methods and apparatus for providing personalized content to a user of a wireless network include establishing an anonymous user identifier and delivering the user identifier to a content provider. Based on the user identifier, communication with a predetermined data source is established or predetermined data content is selected. In some embodiments, a device identifier is provided in addition to the user identifier and device specific, personalized content is delivered to the user. In one example, a device identifier and a user identifier are based on a mobile station serial number and a subscriber identity module, respectively, and are used in an HTTP header. The anonymous user identifier can be based on a subscriber identity module (SIM) serial number, or a hash of the SIM serial number so that user information such as a user phone numbers is not available to content providers.

An apparatus and methods for enhanced data communications and control between a vehicle and a remote data communications terminal are disclosed. The apparatus preferably includes a first protocol converter adapted to be positioned in communication with at least one electronic subsystem of the vehicle, a first transceiver, a first requestor, and a first buffer. The apparatus also preferably includes a second transceiver, a second protocol converter, a second requestor, and a second buffer. The first protocol converter converts data of a vehicle communication protocol to data of an over-the-air communication protocol. After the first requestor opens a window in an over-the-air communication channel between the vehicle and the remote data communications terminal, the first transceiver in the vehicle wirelessly transmits data over-the-air from the vehicle to the second transceiver in the remote data communications terminal preferably not using the over the air communication protocol. When the vehicle is not transmitting data via the first transceiver, data received from the remote data communication terminal and stored in the first buffer is then transferred to the at least one electronic subsystem of the vehicle. Also, when the remote data communication terminal is not transmitting data via the second transceiver, data received from the vehicle and stored in the second buffer is then transferred to other portions of the remote data communication terminal.

The intelligent family monitoring system has the advantages that the information acquisition is comprehensive and comprises electrical energy monitoring, safety monitoring and environment monitoring of doors, windows, drawers, cabinet doors and the like; data communication is convenient and comprises wired and wireless modes according to the prior art; and the data display and control terminal is diversified and comprises a computer, a mobile phone and other terminals with the communication function.

A system and method for connecting a global positioning system (GPS) device with a digital image processing device and inserting position information stored in the GPS device into an image file taken by the digital image processing device are provided. The system includes: a digital image processing device that photographs an image, generates an image file and stores the same; and a GPS device that stores position information according to signals transmitted from a GPS satellite at a predetermined time interval. When the digital image processing device and the GPS device are interconnected, the digital image processing device receives position information, which corresponds to time information on an image file stored in the digital image processing device, from the GPS device and inserts the position information into the image file.

Multiple translation control entries (TCEs) at the same indices in multiple, same size TCE tables are mapped to facilitate data communication between a self-virtualizing input / output (IO) resource and a logical partition. First and second TCE tables used by an adjunct partition that interfaces a self-virtualizing IO resource with a logical partition may be identically sized, so that whenever a direct memory access (DMA) operation between the self-virtualizing IO resource and the logical partition is desired the same TCE entries in the first and second TCE tables may be used to perform a redirected DMA operation, and without the need to perform hashing or other mapping algorithms to map to the respective TCE entries in the respective TCE tables.
