whitepaper A Study in Mobile Messaging2008-01-01 Cisco Systems
  Mobile messaging technology is evolving rapidly to provide multiple services and applications to today's subscribers. With the continued delay of third-Generation (3G) deployments and migration to fully packet-switched networks, coupled with the demand for fast-to-market data applications over existing wireless networks, mobile operators look more than ever at their short messaging systems to fill the gap. Existing Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile networks use Short Message Service (SMS) as a multipurpose data service that enables rapid deployment of data applications without the need for 3G bandwidth capabilities. In fact, SMS traffic is growing exponentially, straining existing mobile operators' signaling networks and infrastructure.

whitepaper Information Extraction From Voicemail2008-01-01 IBM
  This paper addresses the problem of extracting key pieces of information from voicemail messages, such as the identity and phone number of the caller. This task differs from the named entity task in that the information this paper is interested in is a subset of the named entities in the message, and consequently, the need to pick the correct subset makes the problem more difficult. Also, the caller's identity may include information that is not typically associated with a named entity. This paper presents three information extraction methods, one based on hand-crafted rules, one based on maximum entropy tagging, and one based on probabilistic transducer induction. It evaluate their performance on both manually transcribed messages and on the output of a speech recognition system.   
whitepaper Automated Sports Blackouts Via Satellite2007-09-01 Motorola
  For a national broadcaster with the breadth of sports programming like ESPN, managing the complexity of blacking out specific games in markets of varying configurations is a daily challenge. Blackouts refer to a contractual agreement between media organizations like ESPN and sports leagues that prevents programming from being aired in certain areas in an effort to bolster other interests - local ticket sales, local sports operations, regional sports networks or locally oriented subscription services. During the last decade ESPN has worked with its vendors to develop an automatic blackout control solution, including an Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) system that can do satellite port switching and retunes without any intervention on the part of its affiliates.   
whitepaper Expected Data Rate: An Accurate High-Throughput Path Metric for Multi-Hop Wireless Routing0000-00-00 University of Utah
  This paper presents a new metric, Expected Data Rate (EDR), for accurately finding high-throughput paths in multihop ad hoc wireless networks. The metric is based upon a new model for transmission interference which is a critical factor in determining path throughput. This paper constructs a realistic and practical transmission interference model by determining transmission contention degree of each link as a function of the wireless link loss; quantifying the impact of the wireless link loss on medium access bakeoffs; and considering possible concurrent transmissions when two links do not interfere with each other. The transmission interference model also takes the non-optimality of IEEE 802.11 medium access scheduling into account.

whitepaper Services Creation Best Practices2007-08-07 Stratecast
  The telecommunications industry is focused on key strategic priorities related to services innovation. These services related priorities are to bring new services to market quickly and respond to market needs at the right time to generate new and additional revenue, attract new customers with these services and, create brand loyalty to increase spending with existing customers and decrease customer churn. Communications Services Providers (CSPs) are striving to provide these innovative services to both a broad market as well as smaller segments within the broad market.   
whitepaper Using NASA's World Wind Component in Your Java Technology Applications2007-07-01 Sun Microsystems
  World Wind is open-source software, developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that allows the user to zoom from satellite altitude into any place on earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data, World Wind lets the user experience any part of earth's terrain in visually rich 3D form, just as if one were really there. For instance, one can use World Wind to zoom in on the Himalayas or Mount Saint Helens. The combination of Landsat 7 imagery with SRTM data allows World Wind to display dramatic views of the earth at eye level. Users can literally fly across the world in any direction.

whitepaper Creating Next-Generation Signaling Gateways Using AdvancedTCA and AdvancedMC Technology2007-07-01 Interphase
  Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA) has already been adopted by major Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) as an open, standards-based Modular Communications Platform (MCP) of choice for next-generation telecom infrastructures. A modular and standards-based approach leads to interoperable and readily available commercial-off-the-shelf solutions from multiple vendors, and allows the telecom industry to realize dramatic price and performance benefits as well as the ability to deploy innovative applications faster. As AdvancedTCA-based MCP adoption grows, standards compliance and interoperability among numerous modular building blocks are becoming focal points for network equipment providers. This paper presents examples of AdvancedTCA-based building blocks for SS7 infrastructure solutions such as signaling gateways. Examples are based on COTS PMC and AdvancedMC modules from Interphase Corporation, and AdvancedTCA blades from Intel.   
whitepaper Alien Crosstalk: Measuring in the Field Is Important - How Is It Done Today?2007-03-01 Solarflare Communications
  In this paper, the author provides the latest information on alien crosstalk field measurements and to begin to frame the discussion on why it is important, when one should consider alien crosstalk field measurements, and how to measure it. Further related topics worth discussion are time trials for the testing operations versus the test equipment deployment including use of additional stimulators and understanding the 10GBASE-T alien margin computation pass/fail criteria versus the alien crosstalk limit lines pass/fail criteria.
