A peer device ( ) is arranged and programmed for maintaining a virtual queue for an event, and a personal presence identifier ( ) is carried by a user and coupled to the peer device by a short-range two-way wireless link. The peer device and the personal presence identifier are arranged and programmed to establish (58) a two-way personal area network with one another when the personal presence identifier is within wireless transmission range of the peer device. The personal presence identifier and the peer device are also arranged and programmed to exchange (82) needs specifications and capability specifications with one another after establishing the two-way personal area network.

A method and apparatus for determining the location of a communication unit in a CDMA system includes in a first embodiment, sending a location request via a spread spectrum signal to the subscriber (140), and receiving in return a subscriber signal including a response message showing a receive time of a particular symbol of the base's spreading sequence and a transmit time of a particular symbol of the subscriber's spreading sequence. The base (130), along with other receiving base(s) (140), also receives a predetermined symbol of the subscriber spreading sequence, and each determines a respective receive time of the predetermined symbol. The received information is then processed, along with known base location and delay information, to determine the subscriber location. If insufficient number of bases are capable of communicating with the subscriber, for example due to high loading/interference, auxiliary bases (121) are also provided for receiving from or transmitting to the subscriber.

An electronic system and a method substantially eliminates any delays caused by buffering of a signal containing speech. The electronic system comprises a receiver for receiving signals, a buffer, coupled to the receiver, a buffer controller coupled to the buffer, and an audio section for presenting signals received to a listener. The method comprises the following steps. The receiver receives an input signal representing speech, and produces an output signal representing the input signal after a delay intentionally introduced in the system. The delay corresponds to the length of the buffer. The buffer stores the input signal in the buffer at an input rate, and produces the output signal at an output rate. The buffer controller determines whether the delay or buffer length is greater than a predetermined threshold, and analyzes at least a portion of the input signal stored in the buffer to determine which parts of the input signal may be removed without substantial deterioration of the signal quality according to at least one predetermined criterion, when the buffer length is greater than a predetermined length. The buffer controller then deletes at least some of the parts of the input signal stored in the buffer that comply with the predetermined criterion.

A vehicular repeater interrupts the repeated audio and a timing signal that is transmitted to the portable. The timing signal is used by the portable to determine when the vehicular repeater will next interrupt the repeated information. Accordingly, the portable synchronizes its transmission of a signal to coincide with the next interruption. If no transmission is desired, the portable operates to mute the portable's speaker during the interruption to prevent noise bursts. Upon the initial recipt of a portable+s transmission signal, the vehicular repeater extends the interruption interval to verify the portable's transmission signal.

A method and apparatus for assigning location estimates from a first transceiver of a plurality of wireless transceivers to a second transceiver is disclosed. The present invention makes use of a low power short-range auxiliary communication link incorporated within networked devices to interact with nearby devices for obtaining location estimates of the current location of a device. Confidence levels are then assigned to the information obtained from the interactions with the nearby devices, and a determination of whether to update the location estimate is made.

A method and apparatus for establishing an active set of carriers from a plurality of available carriers for a wireless receiver. The active set of carriers can be determined from the plurality of available carriers for the wireless receiver. An indication of which carriers are in the active set can be sent to the wireless receiver, such as a receiver in a mobile communication device. The receiver or mobile communication device can monitor only those carriers that are listed in the active set of carriers.

During operation a wireless terminal will receive instructions assigning it to a group of wireless terminals sharing a common set of resources. The terminal will also receive an overflow allocation policy indicating resources that are to be utilized if there are more assigned resources that group resources.
