The STi7200 is a new generation, high-definition set-top box/DVD decoder chip, and
provides very high performance for low-cost HD systems. With enhanced performance over
the STx7109, it includes both Windows Media Video 9 and H.264 video decoders for new,
low bitrate applications. The STi7200 is able to decode two HD programs
In the next generation of wireless communication systems, there will be a need for the rapid
deployment of independent mobile users. Significant examples include establishing survivable, efficient,
dynamic communication for emergency operations, disaster relief efforts, and military networks. Such
network scenarios cannot rely on centralized and organized connectivity, and can be conceived as
applications of mobile ad hoc networks. A MANET is an autonomous collection of mobile users that
communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. Since the nodes are mobile, the
network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time. The network is decentralized, where
all network activity including discovering the

The telecommunications industry has seen a rapid boost within the last decade. New realities
and visions of functionalities in various telecommunications networks have brought forward the
concept of next-generation networks (NGNs). The competitions among operators for support-
ing various services, lowering of the cost of having mobile and cellular phones and smartphones,
increasing demand for general mobility, explosion of digital traffic, and advent of convergence
network technologies added more dynamism in the idea of NGNs. In fact, facilitating con-
vergence of networks and convergence of various types of services is a significant objective of
NGN
