Mokes has a huge problem: should he obey his father or stand by an old friend? When a Navy ship drops anchor off the coast of his Hawaiian village, Mokes's dad gives him a curfew. He doesn't want Mokes out in the village after dark when the rowdy sailors will be drinking, dancing, and looking for trouble. But Mokes's friend Booley is planning to get revenge on a sailor--how could Mokes miss that action? Complicating things further are two facts: Mokes's dad isn't just any father; he happens to be the police chief (!). And, even worse, Mokes has just realized that his friend may have stolen his father's favorite gun. Award-winning author Graham Salisbury will thrill readers with this suspenseful tale of a boy struggling with issues of violence, friendship, honor, and trust. As always, Salisbury avoids predictable solutions and allows his characters to work out their problems in realistic ways. Reluctant readers, especially, will appreciate this fast-paced adventure.

Judge Andrew Napolitano: Trump’s new budget is a debt bomb waiting to explode | Fox News
Judge Andrew Napolitano: Trump’s new budget is a debt bomb waiting to explode
Napolitano: Trump's budget adds up to $1 million a minute
Judge Napolitano's Chambers: Judge Andrew Napolitano explains how Trump's new spending bill will increase the deficit and what that means for our children's children.
Imagine you open the faucet of your kitchen sink expecting water and instead out comes cash. Now imagine that it comes out at the rate of $1 million a minute. You call your plumber, who thinks you’re crazy. To get you off the phone, he opines that it is your sink and therefore must be your money. So you spend it wildly. Then you realize that the money wasn’t yours and you owe it back.
Now imagine that this happens every minute of every day for the next three years. At the end of the three years, you owe back more than $6 trillion. So you borrow $6 trillion to pay back the $6 trillion you owe.
Is this unending spigot of cash reality or fantasy?
I am not speaking of Amazon or Google or Exxon Mobil or Apple. They deliver products that appeal to consumers and investors. They deal in copious amounts of money because they sell what hundreds of millions of people want to purchase and they do it so efficiently that hundreds of thousands want to invest in them. If they fail to persuade consumers to purchase their products and investors to purchase their financial instruments, they will go out of business.
My analogy about all that cash in your kitchen sink that just keeps coming is not about voluntary commercial transactions, which you are free to accept or reject. It is about the government's spending what it doesn’t have, the consequences of which you are not free to reject.
Government produces no products that consumers are willing to pay for voluntarily, and it doesn’t sell shares of stock in its assets. It doesn’t generate wealth; it seizes it. And when it can no longer politically get away with seizing, it borrows. It borrows a great deal of money -- money that it rolls over, by borrowing trillions to pay back trillions to prior lenders, and thus its debt never goes away.
Last week, after eight years of publicly complaining that then-President Barack Obama was borrowing more than $1 trillion a year to fund the government -- borrowing that the Republicans silently consented to -- congressional Republicans, now in control of Congress and with a friend in the Oval Office, voted to spend and hence borrow between $5 trillion and $6 trillion more than tax revenue will produce in the next three years; that’s a few trillion more than they complained about in the Obama years.
That’s borrowing $1 million a minute.
Obviously, no business or household or bank can survive very long by borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. Yet the federal government, no matter which party controls Congress or the presidency, engages in staggering borrowing -- borrowing that will cripple future generations by forcing them to pay for goods and services that were consumed before they were born.
The government has often borrowed to meet critical emergency needs, typically during wartime. Indeed, the country was born in debt when Alexander Hamilton, the father of big government, offered the idea that the new federal government created by the Constitution could purchase the fidelity of the states by assuming their Revolutionary War debts.
But those debts were paid back using inflation, gold and tax dollars, and the country enjoyed sporadic periods of nearly debt-free government. Then three unhappy events coincided about 100 years ago: Woodrow Wilson -- the father of modern-day big government -- was elected president, and he brought us into the useless battle over national borders among old European royalty called the Great War, and he financed American participation in that first world war using the new printing presses owned by the new Federal Reserve System.
The $30 billion President Wilson borrowed from the Federal Reserve and others has been rolled over and over and has never been repaid. The federal government still owes the $30 billion principal, and for that it has paid more than $15 billion in interest. Who in his right mind would pay 50 percent interest on a 100-year-old debt? Only the government.
Wilson’s $30 billion debt 100 years ago has ballooned to $20.6 trillion today. At the end of President Donald Trump’s present term -- because of the Republican budget signed into law last week -- the government’s debt will be about $27 trillion.
That amount is a debt bomb waiting to explode. Here’s why. Every year, the federal government collects about $2.5 trillion in revenue and spends it all. It borrows another $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion and spends it all. To avoid paying back any of the $27 trillion it will owe, the federal government will need to spend about $1 trillion a year in interest payments.
That $1 trillion is 40 percent of the revenue collected by the federal government; that’s 40 cents on every dollar in tax revenue going to interest on old debts -- interest payments that are legally unavoidable by taxpayers and voters.
Will the taxpaying public tolerate this much longer? What would happen if taxpayers stopped paying taxes because 40 percent of what they've been paying has produced nothing for them? Would investors stop lending money to the government because of fear that the government could not pay them back? The Constitution requires the government to pay its debts. Would the government’s creditors acquire control of the government’s fiscal policy in order to pay themselves back? The government’s biggest creditor is one of its biggest menaces -- the government of China.
Borrowing money at $1 million a minute is digging a hole out of which we will never peacefully climb. President Obama’s and President Trump’s own military and intelligence chiefs have argued that the national debt -- not the Russians or the Islamic State group or the North Koreans -- is the greatest threat to freedom and security that we face today.
Why are Congress and President Trump not listening?

We’re peace-loving country but reserve right to hit back: BSF
BSF’s director general KK Sharma said India is a peace loving country and does not want to create a war-like situation.
india Updated: Jan 18, 2018 20:52 IST
A villager shows a mortar shell allegedly fired on a residential area from the Pakistan side at the India-Pakistan international border at Pindi Camp in Arnia Sector about 40km from Jammu on Thursday. (PTI)
The BSF’s director general KK Sharma said on Thursday the situation along the Line of Control and international border was “tense” but the paramilitary force was “more than prepared” to deal with it, amid increasing incidents of violation of the 2003 ceasefire agreement by Pakistan in the recent months.
“We don’t initiate first fire but if provoked, we strongly retaliate. I assure you that this time also strong action is being taken. The martyrdom of head constable A Suresh won’t go waste,” Sharma said during a press conference.
The director general was referring to the death of the Border Security Force soldier by Pakistani fire in Jammu and Kashmir’s RS Pora sector on Wednesday night.
Sharma said that India is a peace loving country and does not want to create a war-like situation.
“We are more than prepared to foil infiltration attempts and respond to ceasefire violations,” he added.
The top official said the BSF inflicted heavy damages of life and property on Pakistan in its retaliatory fire after the latest round of skirmishes on the international border in Arnia sub-sector. He said that the force also damaged two Pakistani posts opposite Arnia, the epicentre of heavy exchange of fire.
“I can’t give an exact number but if you monitor Pakistani media you will get it. It was not for the first time that Pakistan opened unprovoked fire at us. On January 3, they shot sniper round in which we lost a jawan. At that time also BSF had strongly retaliated and had inflicted heavy damages,” he said.
Sharma said that the latest incident was not that of a sniper fire.
“The head constable was behind his LMG and was retaliating to Pakistani fire from a loophole of one foot by one-foot square. Enemies target that. A bullet entered from the loophole and hit him. It was very unfortunate,” he said.
Sharma said that the BSF has ensured minimum exposure by making some arrangements including bulletproof jackets, helmets and some other measures.
“But still some parts of the body like lower abdomen remain vulnerable to sniping and in such war-like situation, these are occupational hazards,” he said.
Sharma said that the BSF observes the movement of terrorists on the other side of the international border from time to time.
“The place where the latest skirmishes took place has a nullah (rivulet) nearby. So, possibilities of an intrusion bid in the wake of January 26 cannot be ruled out but our jawans are alert and we have also sufficient surveillance equipment in place. We will ensure that no infiltration takes place,” he added.
The DG said that he has asked officers on the ground to retaliate with full force and teach Pakistan a lesson.
Pakistan’s military accused Indian troops of initiating fire from across the border and targeting villages along Kashmir, killing two civilians and wounding five others in the latest “unprovoked” ceasefire violation. Pakistan’s foreign ministry later said the dead were women.
India quickly rejected the claim, saying, in fact, Pakistan initiated the fire, killing a 17-year-old girl and the soldier in Arnia.
The latest ceasefire violation by Pakistan came two days after the Indian Army killed seven Pakistani soldiers in Kotli’s Janglote area opposite the Mendhar sector. The dead Pakistani soldiers included a major as well. (With agency inputs.)

The present invention relates to a process and an implementation device for adjusting the transmission and reception chains of the paths formed by a multipath transmission/reception device of a base station of a radiocommunications system, using in particular a multipath transmission/reception technique known by the abbreviation SDMA standing for �Space-Division Multiple Access�.
Systems for radiocommunication with mobiles are mostly based on the cellular network concept in which a base station communicates with a number of mobiles within the cell for which it is responsible.
For transmitting and receiving signals, base stations currently use only simple antenna systems, either of the single-sensor or multi-sensor type, with RF combination to ensure complete coverage, or else of the two-sensor type with selection to obtain space diversity in reception.
The concept of SDMA, now widely reported in the literature, is aimed at increasing the capacity of a base station by performing multipath transmission and reception in an adaptive and intelligent manner.
However, the setting up of this technique runs up against problems of implementation and of control of the distortions in the transmission and reception chains. In particular, the most disturbing phenomenon is the phase and amplitude dematching of the paths. During reception, this phenomenon will prevent a correct location fix on the mobile and hence the allocation of an SDMA frequency. During transmission, this problem may cause the transmission of a signal in an undesired direction.
The techniques for alleviating these problems are well known in respect of reception, since they are implemented in radio direction finders and consist in performing a calibration of the antenna base followed by frequent adjustment of the reception paths.
During transmission, the problem is more complex since it involves adjusting the transmission paths (after calibration of the antenna base) while being independent of the structure of the antenna base.
To this end, the subject of the invention is a process allowing the regular adjusting of the transmission and reception chain of each of the paths formed by a base station of a system for radio communication with mobiles, including a transmission/reception antenna base and a multipath transmission/reception device, characterized in that it consists after a step of calibration of the antenna base:
within a step for adjusting the reception chains relating to each path, in distributing a first specified adjustment signal, synchronously over each of the reception chains, in calculating an equalization filter inverting the transfer functions relating to each reception chain,
within a step for adjusting the transmission chains relating to each path, in distributing a second specified adjustment signal, synchronously over each of the transmission chains, in extracting from each of the paths a part of the transmission signal before it is sent to the antenna base so as to re-inject it into the reception chains, and in calculating an equalization filter inverting the transfer functions relating to each transmission chain,
in performing the reception of the signals originating from the antenna base via the equalization filters previously calculated for the reception chains, or the transmission of the signals originating from the multipath transmission/reception device via the equalization filters previously calculated for the transmission chains.
The present invention has the advantage of adjusting the transmission and reception paths of a radiocommunication system utilizing an SDMA technique, making it possible to ensure the control of the wavefront of the signals received and transmitted by the system by using adjustment signals which avoid the phenomena of coupling between antennas.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A device 1 implementing the process according to the invention is interfaced between an SDMA transmission/reception device 2 and an antenna base 3, as indicated in FIG. 1.
Consequently it is independent of the SDMA processing performed by the ad hoc device and implements as many transmission paths and reception paths as antennas.
FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of the process according to the invention.
After a first step 4 of calibration of the antennas of the antenna base, the process according to the invention consists within a second step 5, in adjusting the reception chains relating to each path, and then within a third step 6, in adjusting the transmission chains relating to each path.
Having performed the adjustment, within a fourth step 7, the reception or transmission of the signals respectively received by the antenna base 3 or transmitted by the transmission/reception device 2 is performed.
In step 8, in the case in which the frequencies of the reception and transmission signals are different, the reception chains of each of the paths are adjusted to the frequency of the transmission signal.
To alleviate the non-linearity of the amplification chains on transmission, a step 9 allows a pre-correction of these chains.
An adjustment device for implementing the process according to the invention is illustrated by the functional diagram of FIG. 3.
It is interfaced between the multipath transmission/reception device 2, especially of SDMA type, and the antenna base 3. To each antenna, not represented, there corresponds a path formed in respect of transmission and reception. In the figure, three paths i with i=1 to 3 are represented respectively by three superimposed planes.
Each path i includes:
a transmission 10 i and reception 11 i chain,
an equalization filter 12 i for the transmission signal input-coupled to the transmission chain 10 i, an equalization filter 13 i for the reception signal output-coupled to the reception chain 11 i, an input switch 14 i and 15 i and output switch 16 i and 17 i for the transmission chain 10 i and the reception chain 11 i respectively enabling the device to enter the various modes of operation: reception adjustment, transmission adjustment, transmission/reception,
a coupler 18 i placed at the output of the transmission chain 10 i after the output switch 16 i of the transmission chain 10 i making it possible to extract a part of the transmission signal before it is sent to the antenna base 3 so as to inject it at the input of the reception chain 11 i via the input switch 15 i of the reception chain 11 i. The transmission equalization filter 12 i is placed at the input of path i, before the input switch 14 i of the transmission chain 10 i, and the reception equalization filter 13 i is placed at the output of path i, after the output switch 17 i of the reception chain
The device next includes in common for all the paths i:
a first generator 19 of a signal for adjusting the transmission chains 10 i which is coupled to a first distribution module 20 distributing a first specified adjustment signal over the transmission chains 10 i of each of the paths i by way of the input switch 14 i of the transmission chain 10 i, placed at the output of the equalization filter 12 i. The adjustment signal can be generated directly in the multipath transmission/reception device.
a second generator 21 of a signal for adjusting the reception chains 11 i which is coupled to a second distribution module 22 distributing a second specified adjustment signal over the reception chains of each of the paths i by way of the input switch 15 i of the reception chain 11 i, and
an analyser of the adjustment signals 23 allowing analysis of the various adjustment signals so as to adapt the respective equalization filters 12 i and 13 i to the transmission 10 i and reception 11 i chains.
The device can furthermore include a stage for pre-correction 24 of the transmission chains which is placed between the equalization filter 12 i and the transmission chain 10 i and is represented with dashed lines in the figure.
The adjustment analyser 23 likewise in this case allows analysis of the correction signals.
A detailed description of the operation of the adjustment device for implementing the process according to the invention is given below:
The adjustment 5 of the reception chains 11 i is aimed at correcting the drifting of the transfer functions of the reception chains 11 i. This drifting is due mainly to the variations in temperature inside the equipment.
The equalization filters 13 i at the output of the reception chains 11 i have transfer functions, the alterations in which must consequently be followed, by performing an adjustment 5 cyclically.
The adjustment 5 is performed by injecting an adjustment signal whose characteristics are assumed to be known, and by making measurements whereby it is possible to determine the transfer functions so that they can be corrected. To simplify the measurements, the adjustment signal is made up of several carriers which make it possible to perform frequency discretization of the transfer functions.
The processing operations performed in a processor of the SDMA transmission/reception device being sensitive to the differential gaps from one path i to another, it is not the absolute transfer functions which must be corrected but merely the differential gaps from one path i to another.
Denoting by Hi(f) the transfer function of path i, and mi the vector of measured complex gains, we obtain: m _ i  ( k ) = H i  ( f k ) H 1  ( f k )  k = 1 , � , N ( 1 ) path 1 serving as reference, fk being the frequencies used to make the measurements and N the number of carriers used.
Measurement of the responses of the equalization filters 13 i to the various frequencies can be performed by FFT, standing for �Fast Fourier Transform� or DFT, standing for �Discrete Fourier Transform�. It is preferable to perform them in succession and to use a DFT to perform the measurement, so as to avoid any problem of intermodulation. In the case of a measurement by FFT, the frequencies used must be located orthogonally, that is to say with a frequency gap equal to the inverse of the duration of the FFT measurement.
It is therefore necessary to calculate a set of p coefficients of an FIR filter, wi, standing for �Finite Impulse Response Filter� for each of the reception chains 11 i, in such a way that: ( H i  ( f k ) H 1  ( f k ) ) � H w i  ( f ) ≈ 1 ( 2 ) for every f belonging to the useful band.
The transfer function Hwi(f) is obtained as follows: H w i  ( f ) = ∑ l = 1 p   w _ i  ( l ) � e 2  jπfl ( 3 ) Since the differential transfer functions are known only for a discrete collection of frequencies {fk}, a simple way of obtaining wi consists in minimizing in the least squares sense the error between the desired transfer function and that of an FIR filter with p coefficients, for all the measured frequencies, i.e.: min w _ i ∥ m i ′ _ - F � w _ i  ∥ 2 ( 4 ) with: m i ′ _  ( k ) = 1 m _ i  ( k ) and F a p�N matrix such that:
F(m,n)=exp(−2.j.π.f m .n) (5) where m and n respectively represent the mth row and nth column of the matrix, fm being the mth normalized adjustment frequency.
w i =[F + .F] −1 .F + .m′ i (6) where�+� corresponds to the operation of conjugate transposition.
The attraction of such an approach lies in the fact that the matrix [F+.F]−1.F+(of dimension p�N) is constant and hence can therefore be calculated once and for all, this making it easy and inexpensive in terms of computation power to obtain wi.
A compromise is then apparent with regard to the number of coefficients p. A large value of the latter (that is to say close to N) leads to a small quadratic error but to a large instability in the transfer function between the measured frequencies fk.
An optimal value lies between N/2 and N/3, this ensuring a correction to within 0.50� and 0.1 dB.
The filter lii must also be convolved with a band-pass filter so as to ensure attenuation outside the useful band.
The main problem posed in respect of the adjustment of the transmission chains 10 i is to render the device 1 independent of the antenna base 3 to which it is connected. This independence makes it possible to use various kinds of antenna base 3 for the SDMA function (pentagonal, linear antenna base etc.).
The step 6 of adjusting the transmission paths of the process according to the invention consists in performing beforehand a calibration of the antenna base at the transmission frequency fe so as to obtain a calibration table. Having performed this calibration, adjustment is performed in a regular manner (as for reception) so as to follow the variations in the mismatching of the transmission chains 10 i over time.
To do this, the transmission signal is extracted, with the aid of the coupler 18 i, situated at the output of the device 1. This signal is re-injected into the previously adjusted reception chain 11 i. In the case of duplex operation on different frequencies for transmission fe and reception fr, it is necessary to allow the reception, by the reception chains 11 i, of the transmission frequency fe, and to adjust the reception chains 11 i to this frequency fe.
In order to avoid any problem of coupling between the antennas of the antenna base 3, which may impair the measurement (since the antenna base 3 is not disconnected), the same adjustment signal must not be injected into each of the transmission chains 10 i since this would lead to the reception on a path i of the signal transmitted by the other paths i, via the antenna base 3.
A solution according to the invention consists in dispatching, on each of the transmission chains 10 i different adjustment signals including carriers located orthogonally: one carrier at the frequency f1 for the transmission chain 10 1 of path 1, one carrier at the frequency f2 for the transmission chain 10 2 of path 2, and one carrier at the frequency fN for the transmission chain 10 N; the gap between the carriers is fixed by the duration of observation T of the measurement. These signals are transmitted synchronously over each of the paths i so as to allow accurate phase measurement. This synchronism demands:
a digital adjustment generator 19 common to the various paths i,
analogue/digital converters, not represented, using the same sampling clock, and
a common frequency reference distributed over each of the paths i in respect of the transposition functions.
As represented in FIG. 4, the principle of orthogonality consists in selecting frequencies 1/T such that their frequency gap is inversely equal to the duration of observation T. Thus, if detection of the carriers by DFT or FFT is performed, with no weighting window, the frequency response is such that the other carriers lie at the minima of this response (sinx/x).
Two solutions can be envisaged, depending on the level of distortion created by the transmission chain 10 i. If the latter creates only a fixed phase shift for the whole of the useful band, the first solution is to generate as many carriers as paths i, while locating them as close as possible to the centre of the useful band.
This first solution is illustrated by FIG. 5.
Let mi be the differential complex gain measured for path i, then the equalization filter 12 i exhibits a complex gain equal to:
m′ i=1/m i (7)
If the transmission chains 10 i cause large phase and amplitude distortions within the useful band, the equalization filter 12 i performs a filtering operation. The method used is therefore the same as for the adjustment 5 on reception, but this time with measurements performed in sub-ranges, but still with different frequencies for each of the transmission paths.
This second solution is illustrated by FIG. 6.
Let mi be the vector of differential complex gains measured for each of the sub-ranges of path i, then the equalization filter 12 i of path i is an FIR filter whose vector of coefficients can be written according to the following equation:
w i =[F + .F] −1 .F + .m′ i (8) with m′i the vector of inverse complex gains.
All the adjustment measurements are performed in the linear zone of the amplifiers, which are not represented, of the various transmission chains 10 i. Unfortunately, the amplifiers used have linear amplification in a restricted zone of input level, as illustrated in FIG. 7a. Indeed, the amplifiers cause PM phase and AM amplitude distortion which depends only on the amplitude of the modulating envelope, as illustrated in FIG. 7b. The SDMA transmission/reception device 2 carries out the formation of beams by combining several transmissions with complex weightings which differ from one path to another. The consequence of this is that signals are input to the amplifiers of the transmission chains 10 i, having different levels on each path i. Thus, the operating points of the amplifiers are not the same, this giving rise to a different phase distortion for each path i.
In order to alleviate this problem of phase and amplitude distortion, the process according to the invention performs a pre-correction 9 of the transmission chains 10 i. This is achieved with the aid of phase and amplitude measurement of the transfer function of the amplifiers with the help of a pre-correction stage 24 i. The measurement consists in performing detection of the instantaneous amplitude, as well as of the instantaneous phase of the modulating signal. In the case of baseband processing:
ρk ={square root over (Ik 2 +Q k 2+L )} (9) θ k = arctan  ( I k Q k ) where
ρk: instantaneous modulus of the signal
θk: instantaneous phase of the signal
I k=ρk.cos(θk) Q k=ρk.sin(θk) (10) Ik and Qk representing respectively the complex phase and phase quadrature signals.
The transfer functions of the amplifiers will be called f and g:
ρout =f(ρin) θout=θin+Δθk=θin +g(θin) (11) This step 9 of pre-correction therefore consists in applying the function which is the inverse of the transfer function of the amplifier of the transmission chain 10 i, which is stored, as represented in FIG. 8, in AM/AM and AM/PM tables.
ρ′k =f′(ρk) θ′k=θ′k+Δθk=θ′k +g′(ρk) (12) The pre-correction functions f′ and g′ are obtained as a function of the transfer functions f and g of the amplifier by solving the following system: { ρ k ″ = f  ( ρ k ′ ) = f  ( f ′  ( ρ k ) ) = G � ρ k θ k ″ = θ k ″ + g  ( ρ k ′ ) = θ k + g  ( f ′  ( ρ k ) ) + g ′  ( ρ k ) = θ k ( 13 ) with G the fixed gain of the corrector 24 i-amplifier of the amplification chain 10 i pair. i.e.: { f ′  ( ρ k ) = f - 1  ( G � ρ k ) g ′  ( ρ k ) = - g  ( f - 1  ( G � ρ k ) ) ( 14 ) Patent CitationsCited PatentFiling datePublication dateApplicantTitleUS4903032Jul 6, 1988Feb 20, 1990Thomson-CsfMethod and device for protection against a jammer in a radio station comprising several change-over antennas and their use for the making of radiogoniometersUS5515378 *Dec 12, 1991May 7, 1996Arraycomm, Inc.Spatial division multiple access wireless communication systems* Cited by examinerReferenced byCiting PatentFiling datePublication dateApplicantTitleUS6693591Sep 5, 2002Feb 17, 2004ThalesMethod and device for co-operative radio direction-finding in transmissionUS6744407Apr 24, 2002Jun 1, 2004ThalesMethod and device for space-time estimation of one or more transmittersUS6989789Feb 23, 2001Jan 24, 2006ThalesMethod for locating radioelectric sources using two-channel high resolution radiogoniometerUS7019635Sep 5, 2002Mar 28, 2006ThalesMethod and device for the detection of sources in a communications systemUS7091906Sep 25, 2003Aug 15, 2006ThalesMethod and device for the calibration-equalization of a reception systemUS7212784 *Jan 31, 2006May 1, 2007Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Adaptive array apparatus, radio base station, and mobile phoneUS7398086Apr 26, 2002Jul 8, 2008ThalesSystem and method to locate radiomobiles outside the coverage of a cellular networkUS7565113Mar 29, 2005Jul 21, 2009Sony CorporationMethod and apparatus to resist fading in mimo and simo wireless systemsUS8094577 *Jul 1, 2009Jan 10, 2012Electronics And Telecommunications Research InstituteApparatus and method for transceiving data using relay device in wireless communication system of centralized MACUS8582551 *May 26, 2010Nov 12, 2013Intel CorporationDevice, system and method of wireless communication over non-contiguous channelsUS20110292919 *May 26, 2010Dec 1, 2011Solomon TraininDevice, system and method of wireless communication over non-contiguous channelsCN101542940BJan 19, 2006Jul 10, 2013索尼株式会社Method and apparatus to resist fading in MIMO and SIMO wireless systemsEP1403962A1 *Sep 24, 2003Mar 31, 2004ThalesMethod and apparatus for calibration-equalization of a reception systemWO2003056349A1 *Dec 19, 2002Jul 10, 2003Fizzle Holdings LtdAntenna measurement systemWO2006104537A2 *Jan 19, 2006Oct 5, 2006Sony CorpMethod and apparatus to resist fading in mimo and simo wireless systems* Cited by examinerClassifications U.S. Classification455/562.1, 455/277.1, 455/101, 455/504, 455/132International ClassificationH04B7/04, H04B17/00Cooperative ClassificationH04B17/0062, H04B17/0005, H04B7/04European ClassificationH04B17/00A1, H04B7/04, H04B17/00B2Legal EventsDateCodeEventDescriptionSep 17, 2012FPAYFee paymentYear of fee payment: 12Sep 11, 2008FPAYFee paymentYear of fee payment: 8Aug 25, 2004FPAYFee paymentYear of fee payment: 4Jul 27, 1998ASAssignmentOwner name: THOMSON-CSF, FRANCEFree format text: ASSIGNMENT OF ASSIGNORS INTEREST;ASSIGNORS:MONOT, JEAN-JACQUES;BERRANGER, ROBERT;MULTEDO, GILBERT;REEL/FRAME:009346/0661Effective date: 19971203RotateOriginal ImageGoogle Home - Sitemap - USPTO Bulk Downloads - Privacy Policy - Terms of Service - About Google Patents - Send FeedbackData provided by IFI CLAIMS Patent Services
