A method for communicating over a wireless backhaul channel comprising generating a radio frame comprising a plurality of time slots, wherein each time slot comprises a plurality of symbols in time and a plurality of sub-carriers in a system bandwidth, broadcasting a broadcast channel signal comprising a transmission schedule to a plurality of remote units in a number of consecutive sub-carriers centered about a direct current (DC) sub-carrier in at least one of the time slots in the radio frame regardless of the system bandwidth, and transmitting a downlink (DL) control channel signal and a DL data channel signal to a first of the remote units, wherein the DL data channel signal is transmitted by employing a single carrier block transmission scheme comprising a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) spreading for frequency diversity.

A computing device (such as a computer gaming console) uses only a single radio to concurrently communicate with a wireless network access point and wireless client devices such as game controllers or peripherals. To establish and maintain both a high-throughput link with the access point, and a low-latency link with the client device(s), the single Wi-Fi radio of the computing device is configured to periodically switch between a channel used for the high-throughput link and a different channel that is used for the low-latency link—thus implementing a combination of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and time division multiplexing (TDM). The console may use aspects of the Wi-Fi protocol standard to ensure that periodically switching its single radio between the two channels is accomplished while maintaining reliable communication on both channels.

Disclosed herein is a method for providing content to viewers for enhancing wellbeing of the viewers, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the method comprises receiving a media content, receiving a broadcaster preference comprising a viewer context variable, generating an augmentation content for the enhancing of the wellbeing of a viewer based on the viewer context variable and the media content, transmitting the augmented media content to a viewer device. Further, the viewer device presents the augmented media content to the viewer based on a viewer context value corresponding to the viewer context variable corresponding to a viewer sensor comprised in the viewer device. Further, the viewer sensor generates the viewer context value based on detecting a response of the viewer corresponding to the augmented media content.

A content output device includes: a display that outputs content; a communication unit that transmits at least one piece of beacon information correlated to the content which is being output by the display; and a CPU that makes responsive period information or unresponsive period information for a communication device based on the content which is being output by the display, and causes the communication unit to transmit the beacon information containing the responsive period information or the unresponsive period information, wherein the responsive period information or the unresponsive period information indicates a period which the communication device executes or does not execute an action corresponding to the received beacon information.

Aspects relate to a priority mechanism for prioritizing network identifiers, for example SSIDs. As described herein, a UE may obtain one or more network identifier sets, each of the one or more network identifier sets having one or more network identifiers for a first RAT and a priority level, determine one or more of the network identifier sets that are under control of a second RAT, and after the determining, manage connections to the first RAT based, at least in part, on the priority level of the network identifier sets.

A method of associating multiple user endpoints (UEs) with a single IMS session in an IMS network having a serving node for controlling at least one IMS session for a user and at least a first access network for providing access to UEs. The method involves associating a first UE with the user and with an IMS session; discovering a second UE in a proximity of the first UE; discovering information about the second UE; communicating the information about the second UE to the serving node; the serving node utilizing computer-implemented policy logic to determine whether to associate the second UE with the user and the IMS session; and if the policy logic determines that the second UE is to be associated, the serving node associating the second UE with the IMS session while retaining the association with the first UE.
