Abstract:
In a dual mode Bluetooth/wireless mobile unit, the next sleep mode Bluetooth wakeup time is rescheduled to synchronize with any upcoming idle mode wireless wakeup time that will otherwise precede the Bluetooth wakeup time. The Bluetooth clock is advanced, or other reconfiguration made to the Bluetooth module, as appropriate to prevent the scanning frequency from changing during a sleep mode Bluetooth wakeup/scanning interval commencing at the resynchronized Bluetooth wakeup time.
Abstract:
Matched filters 102-1 to 102-n extract channel estimated values corresponding to users 1 to n by finding correlation with the reception signal. Threshold processing sections 103-1 to 103-n perform threshold processing on estimated power values obtained based on the channel estimated values corresponding to users 1 to n. JD section 104 performs matrix calculations using channel estimated values subjected to threshold processing. Multiplication section 105 performs a multiplication between the matrix calculation result and the reception signal. Identifier 106 performs hard decision on the multiplication result.
Abstract:
A service option overlay for a CDMA wireless communication in which multiple allocatable subchannels are defined on a reverse link by assigning different code phases of a give long pseudonoise (PN) code to each subchannel. The instantaneous bandwidth needs of each on-line subscriber unit are then met by dynamically allocating none, one, or multiple subchannels on an as needed basis for each network layer connection. The system efficiently provides a relatively large number of virtual physically connections between the subscriber unites and the base stations on the reverse link for extended idle periods such as when computers connected to the subscriber unites are powered on, but not presently actively sending or receiving data. These maintenance subchannels permit the base station and the subscriber units to remain in phase and time synchronization. This in turn allows fast acquisition of additional subchannels as needed by allocating new code phase subchannels. Preferably, the code phases of the new channels are assigned according to a predetermined code phase relationship with respect to the code phase of the corresponding maintenance subchannel.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for searching for neighboring base stations by waking from a power-saving sleep mode to receive an incoming signal. The incoming signal is received and at least a portion of the incoming signal is stored. The stored information signal is then processed with each of several different codes to determine a power level corresponding to each of the different codes.
Abstract:
Various techniques for improving a wireless communication device are described. The techniques may include reducing power in a wireless communication device for a first sleep period and then increasing power in the wireless communication device for an intermediate wake period after the first sleep period to estimate an error of the sleep clock. The method may further include reducing power in the wireless communication device for a second sleep period after the intermediate wake period. The intermediate wake mode implemented during the intermediate period can be used to estimate the error of the sleep clock without performing one or more tasks associated with an awake mode, such as demodulation. The techniques may facilitate the effective use of low frequency low power clocks for sleep mode, even when relatively large slot cycles are defined within a slotted paging system.

A method for cellular communication which transmits code division multiple access (CDMA) signals of one user during a time slot allotted to that user.
Abstract:
A method including searching for a communication channel by activating a receiver having a radio frequency (RF) module and a baseband module for storing a portion of received signals within a first time period, de-activating the RF module of the receiver, and background processing the portion of the received signals with a variable clock rate within a second time period.
Abstract:
A CDMA receiver terminal comprises a finger circuit for correcting the phase of inverse spread data for signals from two antennas of a base station, and the finger circuit in turn has a level measuring circuit for determining the validity of the two signals. The level measuring circuit, when determining that any of the received signals from the two antennas of the base station is invalid, stops supplying an operating clock from a clock supply circuit to a phase corrector circuit which corrects the phase of the signal determined as invalid.
Abstract:
A present invention provides a spread spectrum communication apparatus that acquisition of synchronization of the pilot signal can be conducted in a short time with a high probability when a mobile station stays in the same radio area or in its vicinity. The spread spectrum communication apparatus includes a PN period holding counter is provided in a search receiver, and phase information of the PN code is held in the counter during the power off interval. At the time of operation of synchronization acquisition of a pilot signal conducted when power is turned on again, the operation of synchronization acquisition of the pilot signal is conducted with a preset search width around the phase derived on the basis of the above described held phase information.
