Traditionally, wireless communications networks and providers treat all requests for data sessions as if they were identical. This patent intends to create a method of identifying via a communication indicator that the traffic session requested is for a link between to machines, and therefore can be treated differently by the communications network from other forms to originated data traffic

This patent provides a detailed description of a unique connector that concurrently acts to connect two electronic devices for purposes of sharing data as well as connecting a wireless transceiver with a limited RF antenna gain in one of the devices to the antenna substructure of the other electronic device, which significantly better RF gain characteristics.

An electronic device is provided. The device comprises a radio transceiver, a processor, a memory, a connector, and an application stored in the memory. The connector is for coupling a radio frequency signal between the radio transceiver and an external antenna and for coupling a baseband signal between the first processor and an external processor. The application, when executed by the processor, manages the radio transceiver based on baseband messages received over the connector from the… Show more

The connector is for coupling a radio frequency signal between the radio transceiver and an external antenna and for coupling a baseband signal between the first processor and an external processor. The application, when executed by the processor, manages the radio transceiver based on baseband messages received over the connector from the external processor, wherein the application managing the radio transceiver comprises causing the radio transceiver to transmit the radio frequency signal over the connector to the external antenna and causing the radio transceiver to receive the radio frequency signal over the connector from the external antenna.

Describes a wireless access system for video broadcasting that broadcasts a pilot signal to identify the possibility of high speed video uplinks as well as identifying the network access provider.

A communication control system configures a wireless access note to broadcast a message stream comprising information associated with a location covered by a sector serving wireless communications devices, receives an interest indicator of level of interest in the message stream by a mobile device, and subsequently a request to receive the message stream transmitted by a different sector than the one currently serving the mobile device. The mobile device's request includes interest filter… Show more

A communication control system configures a wireless access note to broadcast a message stream comprising information associated with a location covered by a sector serving wireless communications devices, receives an interest indicator of level of interest in the message stream by a mobile device, and subsequently a request to receive the message stream transmitted by a different sector than the one currently serving the mobile device. The mobile device's request includes interest filter criteria that are used to identify and deliver the appropriate out-of-sector information as a subscription to the device. Show less

A wireless video device comprises: a user interface, optical receiver, processing system, and wireless transceiver. The optical receiver processes optical signals to generate corresponding video data. The user interface receives a user request to establish a wireless video uplink. The processing system processes the user request to generate a system request for the wireless video uplink. The wireless transceiver wirelessly transfers the system request to a wireless access system and wirelessly… Show more

A wireless video device comprises: a user interface, optical receiver, processing system, and wireless transceiver. The optical receiver processes optical signals to generate corresponding video data. The user interface receives a user request to establish a wireless video uplink. The processing system processes the user request to generate a system request for the wireless video uplink. The wireless transceiver wirelessly transfers the system request to a wireless access system and wirelessly receives at least one system condition for a grant of the request. The processing system processes the condition to direct the user interface to display the condition. The user interface displays the condition and receives a user acceptance of the condition. The processing system processes the user acceptance to direct the wireless transceiver to wirelessly transfer the video data to the wireless access system. The wireless transceiver wirelessly transfers the video data to the wireless access system. Show less
