A WiMAX network and communication method, the network including a plurality of WiMAX nodes deployed in micro or pico cells for providing access service to a plurality of mobile subscribers, a plurality of these nodes being arranged in a cluster, one of the nodes in each cluster being a feeder node coupled to a core network, the nodes in each cluster being coupled for multi-hop transmission to the feeder node. According to a preferred embodiment, each node includes a transceiver with associated modem, an antenna arrangement coupled to the modem and arranged for multiple concurrent transmissions, and a MAC controller for controlling the transceiver, modem and antenna arrangement for providing both access and backhaul communication.

A mobile broadband wireless system including at least two pairs of nodes arranged in a cluster, each pair coupled to form a link for wireless communication. Each node includes an RF transceiver with associated modem, an antenna array arrangement coupled to the modem and arranged for multiple concurrent transmissions, where each antenna has a beam pattern selected to improve quality of transmission, and a controller for controlling the transceiver, modem and antenna array arrangement for providing point to point communication. The controller allocates MIMO streams and modulation to different antennas in the antenna array arrangement, and implements at least one interference mitigation mechanism to minimize interference within the cluster during multiple concurrent transmissions. A method of wireless communication is also provided.

The present invention is related to transmitting quality of service (QoS) information of a target base station for admitting service flows during a handover operation. The invention comprises providing a service to a mobile station from a serving base station and receiving at the serving base station a handover request from the mobile station. The serving base station then provides a handover notification to a target base station, wherein the handover notification comprises a QoS parameter associated with the service. The serving base station then receives from the target base station a handover notification response, wherein the handover notification response comprises service level prediction information that is determined in response to the QoS parameter associated with the service. Finally, the serving base station provides a handover response to the mobile station, the handover response comprising the service level prediction information.

Smart home perception and control system. The system builds an embedded platform with DSP chip as the core, connects with a large number of sensors, collects temperature and humidity, smoke concentration and noise, as well as human body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and other health conditions. The system uses wireless radio frequency modules to wirelessly control specific home appliances in the family, connects to the network data cloud through home broadband or 3G communication, captures images through analog cameras, processes the collected information on the DSP platform, and responds accordingly according to the results. This system can intelligently control the work of home appliances according to the statistical rules of the owner's life, and can automatically control the opening and closing of the door according to the situation in front of the door; it can automatically sense the abnormal situation of the home and automatically alarm; Information, to achieve remote control, or stay at home, so that doctors can check their own health status through the network data cloud thousands of miles away.

Methods are provided for transmitting BCMCS in mobile broadband wireless cellular systems under development.

The present invention provides a method and system for facilitating efficient handoff and data throughput in mobile broadband communication systems. Methods implemented by a system constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention include selectively enabled soft handoff, performing Layer 2 bearer functions at the base station and using the mobile device to coordinate soft handoff and interference avoidance without the need for a centralized coordination function.

There is provided a system and method for managing billing for hotspot network access. There is provided a mobile broadband hotspot comprising a processor configured to receive a credential from a device of a plurality of devices, track a data usage associated with the credential, submit the credential and the data usage to a central billing server, modify a billing statement associated with the credential using a billing policy in response to receiving the billing statement from the central billing server, and transmit the billing statement to the device for showing on a display of the device. Accordingly, the mobile broadband hotspot may track individual data usage and allow for flexible billing of individual data usage.

Embodiments may comprise hardware and / or code within a cellular phone to process data related to charges for a call to indicate the charges to the user. In some embodiments, the charges may be presented in the form of an icon. The icon may indicate whether or not charges apply to the call, a range of charges, and / or a rate of charge. Further embodiments may display characters describing conditional charges for a call. In still further embodiments, the charges for a call may be indicated by an audible alert such as a volume, frequency, pattern of frequencies, or a voice generated. Embodiments may also include hardware and / or code of a cellular phone server such as an MTSO to gather and transmit account information to a cellular phone (or apparatus with similar functionality such as a mobile broadband card).
