An electronic device has wireless communications circuitry that includes transmitters and receivers. Antenna structures may be coupled to the transmitters and receivers to support radio-frequency signal transmission and radio-frequency signal reception operations. Switching circuitry such may be used to support multiple communications bands of interest. One or more low band receivers may be associated with the first switch and one or more high band receivers may be associated with the second switch. The switches can be configured in real time to switch a desired communications band into use. A diplexer may be used to simultaneously pass low bands to the first receiver and high bands to the second receiver. In this way, a data stream in the low band may be simultaneously received with a data stream in the high band.

A file download method comprises obtaining, by a play device when N data blocks of a file are downloaded from a server in parallel, a network parameter of at least one data block of the N data blocks downloaded in a current network environment, obtaining, by the play device after any one of the N data blocks is completely downloaded and before a next data block following the N data blocks starts to be downloaded, a size of the next data block according to the network parameter, and downloading, by the play device, the next data block from the server according to the size of the next data block. Using the embodiments of the present disclosure, a streaming media player downloads a data block in parallel from a media server.

A half-duplex wireless network device is structured to transmit and receive information over a unique pattern of one or more transmission slots and one or more reception slots within each of a sequence of communication frames to accomplish virtual full-duplex communication.

A system and method for operating the same includes a receiving circuit module having a housing having an input for a first signal, a first encoder disposed within the housing encoding the first signal to form a first encoded signal and a second encoder disposed within the housing encoding the first signal to form a second encoded signal having a different format than the first signal. A first multiplexer receives the first encoded signal. A second multiplexer different than the first multiplexer receives the second encoded signal.

In embodiments, apparatuses, methods, and storage media may be described for identifying subframes in a radio frame on which a UE may receive a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) or enhanced PDCCH (ePDCCH) transmission. Specifically, the UE may receive multiple indications of uplink/downlink (UL/DL) subframe configurations and identify one or more subframes in which the UE may receive the PDCCH or ePDCCH transmission. The UE may then monitor one or more of the identified subframes and base discontinuous reception (DRX) timer functionality on one or more of the identified subframes.

Techniques for facilitating a robust clock synchronization across a computer network that presumes network jitter exists are discussed herein. A first device and a second device transceive a plurality of sets of time-synchronization messages to synchronize a synchronization clock of the second device to a first clock of the first device. The second device calculates a smoothing of time delay data of a plurality of sets. The time delay data is associated with a transmission duration of time-synchronization messages of the sets of the plurality. The second device sets a synchronization clock based on a time at the first device and the smoothed time delay data.

An endpoint element of a distributed antenna system includes processing circuitry configured for processing a plurality of digital signals for conditioning the signals and compression circuitry configured for compressing at least one of the digital signals according to a compression scheme to yield at least one compressed digital signal and compression settings. The digital signals are combined into a single digital stream and combined and time division multiplexed onto a serial data link with the compression settings. The digital signals are also transmitted with compression settings to another endpoint element over the serial data link.
