Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are described that provide for communicating coexistence messages over a multi-drop serial bus. A data communication method includes configuring a common memory map at each of a plurality of devices coupled to a serial bus, receiving at a first device coupled to the serial bus, first coexistence information directed to a second device coupled to the serial bus, generating at the first device, a coexistence message that includes the first coexistence information, and transmitting the coexistence message to the second device over the serial bus. The first coexistence information in the coexistence message may be addressed to a location in the common memory map calculated based on a destination address associated with the first coexistence information and a unique identifier of the first device.

Abstract: Access terminals are adapted to regulate power in wireless receiver circuits. In one example, access terminals include a communications interface with at least one wireless receiver circuit. A processing circuit coupled with the communications interface can receive a transmission during a Frequency Correction Channel (FCCH) frame. Following the received transmission, at least a portion of the receiver circuit may be powered down. A determination may also be made whether the received transmission was reliable. The receiver circuit can subsequently be powered up, and another transmission can be received on a subsequent channel. When the received transmission was sufficiently reliable, the other transmission may be a transmission during a Synchronization Channel (SCH) frame. When the received transmission is not sufficiently reliable, the other transmission may be another transmission received during a subsequent Frequency Correction Channel (FCCH) frame. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to methods and apparatus for coexistent radio frequency (RF) systems in a wireless device. Control of a wireless device includes detecting when a turn on signal is issued to a first radio system, and then controlling the second radio system to either modify the operation of receiver circuitry in the second radio system to protect components within that system, or modify transmit circuitry to stop transmissions for protecting components within one radio system potentially affected by transmission from the other radio system in the wireless device. Disclosed also is monitoring of transmission states of the radio systems based on reading messages between the first and second radio systems and issuing a notification message based thereon such that one of the radio systems may suspend monitoring of a transmit channel for permission to transmit in order to reduce power consumption due to such monitoring of the channel.

Abstract: Slave initiated interrupts for a communication bus are disclosed. In one aspect, the communication bus is a radio frequency front end (RFFE) bus, and a slave is allowed to indicate to a master on the RFFE bus that the slave has an interrupt condition. On receipt of a slave initiated interrupt, the master may initiate a polling sequence to determine which of a plurality of slaves associated with the RFFE bus initiated the interrupt and process the interrupt accordingly. Continuing the exemplary aspect, the slave may indicate the interrupt condition to the master by driving a clock line of the RFFE bus to a non-idle state. The master may detect this manipulation of the clock line and initiate the polling sequence.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described that facilitate the communication of data between a transmitter and a receiver across a serial bus interface. In one configuration, a transmitter generates a datagram based on a register address, detects whether the register address is within a high data rate (HDR) access address range, and sends a payload of the datagram to the receiver according to a HDR mode when the register address is within the HDR access address range. In another configuration, the transmitter generates a datagram including at least a command field and a data field, sends the command field to the receiver according to a single data rate (SDR) mode, wherein the command field indicates a transition to a high data rate (HDR) mode for sending the data field, and sends the data field to the receiver according to the HDR mode.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for improving throughput of a serial bus are described. A method performed at a device coupled to a serial bus includes detecting a transition in signaling state of a first wire of the serial bus while a first pair of consecutive bits is being received from the first wire of the serial bus, determining that no transition in signaling state of the first wire occurred while a second pair of consecutive bits is being received from the first wire, defining bit values for the first pair of consecutive bits based on direction of the transition in signaling state detected while the first pair of consecutive bits is being received, and sampling the signaling state of the first wire while the second pair of consecutive bits is being received to obtain a bit value used to represent both bits in the second pair of consecutive bits.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described that facilitate data communication between a first slave device and a second slave device across a serial bus interface. In one configuration, a master device receives, from a first slave device, a request to send a masked-write datagram to a second slave device via a bus, wherein the masked-write datagram is addressed to a radio frequency front end (RFFE) register of the second slave device. The masked-write datagram includes a mask field identifying at least one bit to be changed in the RFFE register and a data field providing a value of the at least one bit to be changed in the RFFE register. The master device detects whether the first slave device is authorized to send the masked-write datagram to the second slave device and permits the first slave device to send the masked-write datagram to the second slave device if authorization is detected.
