A method and repeater are described for repeating using a time division duplex (TDD) radio protocol. A signal is transmitted from a first station to a second station using a downlink and an uplink. The signal can be detected on the uplink or the downlink. The repeater can synchronize to time intervals associated with the detected signal that are measured during an observation period. The signal can be retransmitted from the second station to the first station if the signal is detected on the uplink and re-transmitted from the first station to the second station if the signal is detected on the downlink. A gain value associated with the downlink can be used to establish a gain value associated with the uplink.

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 method is proposed, for use e.g. in the context of WiMAX networks supporting the CMIPv6 function, for allowing the ASN-GW to become aware of the status of a control procedure, the CMIPv6 mobility binding procedure. The ASN-GW is not directly aware of its result since the procedure implies a message exchange at the U-Plane level, where the ASN-GW implements only a routing function. Nevertheless the ASN-GW needs to know the status of the procedure since it has to perform some subsequent actions depending on that status. The method includes signalling the status via a signalling mechanism between the Access Service Network and the Connectivity Service Network, thus avoiding packet inspection at the U-plane by the Access Service Network Gateway.

A system, method and computer program product provides for power line communications (PLC) over electric power lines includes a device mountable near an electrical distribution transformer (DT) to provide a high speed interface and communicates with one or multiple access devices, which provide low speed interfaces for analog signals or digital signals over RS 232, RS 485, optical, wireless and Ethernet. The device transmits data to / from these access devices over the electric lines to other repeaters over one or more wires of an electrical line or over multiple lines, and serves to strengthen and improve signal quality. Upon detecting a wire or line is having problems carrying data, the data is sent over other wires, and upon power line failures, wireless backup to mobile / GSM and WiMax networks is utilized. The device permits utilities and others to read electric meters, monitor the power quality of the distribution grid and detect power losses / failures / outages, and permits telecom service providers and others to provide a communications link to cell phone towers, WiFi Access Points and enable broadband Internet and telephony in rural, remote or sparely populated areas.

In order to facilitate a handoff of a communication session between a legacy circuit switched network and a packet data network such as a 3GPP LTE, 3GPP2 UMB, or WiMAX network, which communication session is anchored in an IMS Voice Call Continuity Application Server (VCC AS), a Circuit Switched Proxy (CS Proxy) is provided in the packet data network that communicates with a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) of the circuit switched network. The CS Proxy allows the packet data network to communicate with the VCC AS, the MSC to communicate with the packet data network, and the MSC to communicate with the VCC AS via the packet data network, thereby allowing an exchange of handoff-related information between the packet data network and the VCC AS, the packet data network and the circuit switched network, and the circuit switched network and the VCC AS via the packet data network.

A real-time integrated information sharing and telecommunications collaboration system is disclosed. The system includes at least one central server to create, store, display, edit, distribute, share, control and archive voice, data, video and images with a plurality of simultaneous wireless and wireline remote display devices. The system includes at least one central server monitors, controls and protects voice, data, video and image communications to, from and between display devices through encrypted token based security identifiers. The sharing of information and communication data packets between the display devices is contingent upon permissions assigned to individual human or machine end users. All data and communications, including the encrypted token based security identifiers may be stored simultaneously or individually within the central server, display device, or a third-party remote storage device whereby each or all may reside behind additional security systems and firewalls at a plurality of locations. All voice, data, video and images are seamlessly integrated through either one or in combination of communications paths to include, but not limited to, the Public Switched Telephone Network, World Wide Web, Internet, Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Local Area Network (LAN), satellite, land mobile radio, WiFi, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), broadband over powerlines and other wireline and wireless networks.

The invention relates to a real-time navigation system of a 3G on-board computer, which uses the on-board computer (on-board or handheld computer, PDA, PPC and other equipment in any form) as a navigation display and an operation terminal and realizes real-time road condition navigation, intelligent traffic and vehicle management, sound and video information exchange, vehicle information inquiry, dynamic point-to-point real-time positioning, road traffic and automatic charging for parking and other functions through data exchange between 3G(or 4G, WIMAX and other wireless broadband) wireless Internet and a real-time traffic information server of public network.
