摘要： Angle of arrival and/or range estimation within a wireless communication device. Appropriate processing of communications received by a wireless communication device is performed to determine the angle of arrival of the communication (e.g., with respect to some coordinate basis of the wireless communication device). Also, appropriate processing of the communications may be performed in accordance with range estimation as performed by the wireless communication device to determine the distance between the transmitting and receiving wireless communication devices. There are two separate modes of packet processing operations that may be performed: (1) when contents of the received packet are known, and (2) when contents of the received packet are unknown. The wireless communication device includes a number of antenna, and a switching mechanism switches from among the various antennae capitalizing on the spatial diversity of the antennae to generate a multi-antenna signal.

摘要： Aspects of a method and system for transmit power control techniques to reduce mutual interference between coexistent wireless networks are provided. A coexistence terminal comprising a WLAN radio and a Bluetooth radio operating as a master device may transmit signals to one or more remote controllers comprising a slave Bluetooth radio to increase transmission power when the isolation between the coexistence terminal's WLAN and Bluetooth radios is below a threshold. Link manager protocol (LMP) signals may be utilized for changing the transmission power. When the isolation increases above the threshold, signals may be generated to reduce the remote controllers' transmission power. In some instances, in addition to increasing the transmission power of remote controllers, the transmission power of the Bluetooth radio or the WLAN radio may be reduced. The reduced Bluetooth or WLAN radio transmission power may be increased when the radio isolation in the coexistence terminal increases.

摘要： Methods and systems for enabling coexistence of multiple potentially interfering wireless components in a device are provided. A device may include a wireless module using a proprietary protocol and one or more modules using standardized protocols. The device further includes a coexistence arbitration module configured to arbitrate access to a shared communication medium among the wireless modules based on assertion of medium access requests by the modules and the associated priority of the asserted medium access requests. When multiple medium access requests have the same priority, precedence for access to the shared medium is determined based on additional criteria. The coexistence arbitration module may be a separate module or may be integrated into another module or distributed among the modules. The device may include a host processor for altering transmission characteristics of a module to increase the likelihood that another module can receive data within a reasonable time period.

摘要： Direct detection of wireless interferers in a communication device for multiple modulation types. One or more radios implemented within a communication device is/are operative to receive and process wireless communications. A wireless communication signal is processed to extract symbols there from. Various symbols groups are processed in accordance with correlation processing to identify potential interferers (e.g., other communication devices using common portions of frequency spectra). Alternatively, matched filter processing (e.g., using a Barker matched filter in some embodiments) operates on the various symbol groups to identify some potential interferers. Various combinations of correlation processing and matched filter processing may be employed in other instances (e.g., using any of a desired means of comparison, combining, etc.) in considering interferers identified in accordance with each of these two means. Also, re-identification and re-characterization of possible interferers may be performed subsequently to remove or re-admit frequency spectra for use in communications.
