摘要:
A method and apparatus for modular authentication of a wireless communication device (120) including a portable communication device (210) and a wireless communication module (220) coupleable thereto is disclosed. When the wireless communication module (220) receives information (706) from the portable communication device (210), it determines whether the information received is authentic information (710) and operates together with the portable communication device (210) as a wireless communication device (120) in a communication system (100) in response to the information received being authentic information (720). In addition, a method and apparatus is disclosed for checking subsidy lock in a wireless communication device (120) capable of operating in a communication system (100), the wireless communication device comprising a first module (210), a second module (220) and a subscriber identity module (230) coupled to the first and second modules (210, 220). The first and second modules (210, 220) independently determine whether subsidy lock information stored in the subscriber identity module (230) corresponds to correct subsidy lock information (614, 618), and set a state of the wireless communication device (120) as operable in the communication system (100) in response to determining that the subsidy lock information stored in the subscriber identity module (230) corresponds to the correct subsidy lock information (614, 618).

A method and apparatus is provided for configuring a wireless communication module (220) for optimal performance with a portable communication handset (210). When coupling of a portable electronic handset (210) and a wireless communication module (220) is detected (602, 702) the portable electronic handset (210) uploads configuration information (604, 606, 608, 610) to the wireless communication module (220). The wireless communication module (220) receives the configuration information (704, 706, 708, 710) from the portable communication device (210) and configures the operational parameters of the wireless communication module (220) in response to the configuration information (714, 716, 718, 720).

A communication device 100 includes a first audio output 105; a second audio output 110; an audio transducer 115 for dual mode use; a shuttered acoustic path 120 coupled between the audio transducer 115 and the first audio output 105; and an attenuated acoustic path 125 coupled between the audio transducer 115 and the second audio output 110.
摘要:
An electrically small antenna, such as one physically sized appropriate to a mobile device, can be tuned in response to a detected change that can result in poorer reception using the electrically small antenna. Such detected changes include a detected change in the connectivity of a wired accessory relative to the mobile device, a detected change in a position of the mobile device, and a detected change of an audio channel selected by the mobile device. To minimize any user impact of the retuning of the electrically small antenna, a timer can be initiated and the antenna can be retuned during an opportune time, such as when one or more signal metrics associated with a signal being provided to the user drop below a threshold, or when the timer expires, whichever occurs first.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method for establishing direct mobile to mobile communication between cellular mobile terminals. The method includes selecting a frequency designated as a mobile communication frequency within a cellular communication system, and transmitting a communication initiation sequence at the selected frequency by a first mobile terminal. A second mobile terminal then monitors the designated mobile communication frequencies, and detects the communication initiation sequence. In at least one embodiment, selecting a frequency includes determining the region in which the first mobile terminal is operating, and selecting a mobile communication frequency for the determined region. In at least a further embodiment, the mobile communication frequency is a mobile transmission frequency for the determined region. In at least a still further embodiment, selecting a frequency includes selecting a frequency that is designated as a mobile transmit frequency in a first supported region and is designated as a mobile receive frequency in a second supported region.

A method in a transmitter for data collision avoidance in an uncoordinated frequency hopping communication system is disclosed. The base station (104) first determines (304) that a first data set to be sent to a first device (105) and a second data set to be sent to a second device (107) are scheduled to be transmitted simultaneously on a first frequency of a frequency hop-set. The device then transmits (310) the first data set on the first frequency of the frequency hop-set. The base station delays (312) transmission of the second data set, and finally transmits (316) the second data set on a second frequency of a frequency hop-set.

A wireless handheld communication device (102) for reducing a communication delay at a proximate wireless communication device is disclosed. The wireless handheld communication device simultaneously transmits to a remote station (106) through a base station (108), and transmits to the proximate wireless communication device (104) directly. The method includes communicating a first communication on first link (116) to a proximate wireless communication device and communicating, simultaneously with communicating the first communication, a second communication on a second link (112) to a base station, wherein the first communication and the second communication are substantially the same.
