Abstract:

A wireless-access communications system, such as a CDMA cellular radio-telephone system (FIG. 2), comprises a packet-switched communications network (202, 207, 201) that interconnects cells (base stations; 202) with each other and with the public telephone network (100). Traffic of individual calls is packetized, and packet-bearing frames (300 in FIG. 7) of a plurality of calls are then statistically multiplexed and frame-relayed through the network to yield the high capacity, efficiency, and speed of traffic transport and handoff required for a CDMA cellular system. At each call processing unit (264 in FIG. 5), individual calls are handled by individual service circuits (602 and 612) which perform speech-processing functions such as coding and decoding, tone insertion, and echo cancellation, and packet-to-circuit-switched-PCM traffic conversion. Processors (602) adapt call processing unit timing to compensate for asynchrony between cells and call processing units and variations in call path transmission delays. Cell-to-cell communications, fixed call path addressing, and packetized control message transfers ensure that the same service circuit handles a call through even multiple soft handoffs (FIGS.

Misha Kostich - Lisle IL, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

Disclosed are a system and methods for analyzing business data. The system and methods may present users with a number of platforms that allow users to analyze aggregated business data, to view forecasts provided by the system, and to collaborate with other users. Analyzing business data may involve running queries and customizing visuals based on the business data, which may be aggregated in a comprehensive database or several databases. Forecasting may involve the use of linear regression lines that can be computed according to customized queries, visuals, and other user input. Further, users may collaborate over the system by sharing visuals, sharing queries, discussing hot topics, blogging, joining groups, and the like.
