Abstract

Building on the Internet (IP) platforms available on mobile devices and personal computers (PCs), we implemented a service called weConnect that facilitates broadcast of content via dedicated and personal media channels. weConnect includes simple tools for integrating content into media 'mixes' and provides 'content viewers' for ubiquitous access to weConnect channels via mobile, desktop, and other IP enabled devices. In this paper we present an exploratory user study based on deployment of the weConnect service among individuals in close relationships. The study focuses on the user perception and experience with the 'always-on' channels, delivering personalized content. We started with images, text, and animations as familiar and easily accessible media. We observed a high level of reciprocity in creating and exchanging expressive content and a need for persistence, reuse, and notification of content delivery. The users voiced their enthusiasm for receiving personalized media across mobile and desktop devices. The always-on nature of the weConnect channels raised new requirements for the service design to assist content producers with creating streams of personalized media efficiently and to enable recipients to view the content flexibly.

MIMO Broadcast Channels With Finite-Rate Feedback

Multiple transmit antennas in a downlink channel can provide tremendous capacity (i.e., multiplexing) gains, even when receivers have only single antennas. However, receiver and transmitter channel state information is generally required. In this ...
An optimized unitary beamforming technique for MIMO broadcast channels

This paper addresses the problem of linear beamforming design in MIMO broadcast channels. An iterative optimization method for unitary beamforming is proposed, based on successive optimization of Givens rotations. Under the assumption of perfect channel ...
How much does transmit correlation affect the sum-rate scaling of MIMO Gaussian broadcast channels?

This paper considers the effect of spatial correlation between transmit antennas on the sum-rate capacity of the MIMO Gaussian broadcast channel (i.e., downlink of a cellular system). Specifically, for a system with a large number of users n, we analyze ...
