A method and system for integrated personal content access have been disclosed. The system includes a gateway which is able to communicate across devices, coordinating media content distribution among the devices and users. The gateway can seamlessly switch or copy content streams from one device to another, even if the devices use different formats or protocols. Tags can be used for adding embellishments to content on the fly for viewing by the user or by others. Tokens for indicating the identity and source of content, along with a location within the content, can also be used when sharing content or when switching content viewing between devices. Additionally, a network of gateways is possible, where content may be shared between devices connected to different gateways.

System and method for personal content access

An extended wireless communication system allows a subscriber station which has an unacceptable (weak or inoperative) wireless link to a base transmitter station to communicate with the network via a wire connection to a second subscriber station which has a strong wireless link to the network. A first subscriber station which has an unacceptable first wireless link to a base station of the network uses a second wireless subscriber station which has a strong or acceptable second wireless link to the local base station to relay data back and forth between the first subscriber station and the network. The first and second stations are configured to send data to and from the first station via the second wireless link, the second station, and an existing wire connection between the first and second subscriber stations.

This invention teaches methods, and circuits that operate in accordance with the methods, for improving the management and control of pilot channel sets for a CDMA mobile station. In one aspect a Priority Neighbor Search technique is provided, wherein a list of Priority Neighbor pilot channels is maintained and searched with a higher priority than the Neighbor Set pilot channels. In a further aspect this invention provides a Dropped Pilot Channel Search technique wherein a set is made of the last pilot channel or pilot channels dropped from the Active Set, wherein the dropped pilot channels are searched for some period of time with a higher priority than the Neighbor Set pilot channels. This invention also provides a High Priority Search Set feature which includes members of the Active Set, the Candidate Set, the Dropped Pilot Set, and the Priority Neighbor Set.

A radiotelephone (10) capable of operation within a CDMA radiotelephone system. The radiotelephone includes a receiver (30) for receiving a paging channel transmission; a system time pseudonoise (PN) generator (18); and despreading circuitry (20, 22, 24 26, 28), having an input coupled to the receiver, for despreading the paging channel transmission received during at least a portion of the assigned slot. The assigned slot is predetermined to have a duration that is three times the duration of a rollover period of the system time pseudonoise (PN) generator (26.667 msec) and four times the duration of one frame (20 msec), or 80 msec. The use of predetermined masks for initializing the PN generators, and in particular a Long Code PN generator (32), is also described.
