Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provides a wireless communication apparatus configured to handle adjacent-channel interference (ACI) and spur. The apparatus receives a signal utilizing a communication interface. The apparatus is configured to perform a single discrete Fourier transform (DFT) on the signal to generate frequency domain data. The apparatus is further configured to determine respective energy of a plurality of adjacent channels of the signal utilizing the frequency domain data. The apparatus is further configured to determine one or more potential interfering channels among the adjacent channels, wherein each of the potential interfering channels has an energy greater than a qualifying threshold. The apparatus is further configured to identify one or more dominant interfering channels from among the potential interfering channels. The apparatus is further configured to detect ACI based on the one or more dominant interfering channels.
Abstract:
Fast Associated Control Channel (FACCH) information is combined if a first block of FACCH information and a repeated block of FACCH information each fail a respective integrity check. An algorithm for realizing repeated FACCH diversity combining gains for different codec and discontinuous transmission (DTX) configurations is applicable to Full Rate codecs, Half Rate codecs, and discontinuous transmission scenarios. A pair of buffers may be used in a ping-pong fashion to store decoding soft or hard decisions for failed FACCH blocks.

Abstract:
A method for performing cell reselection by a wireless communication device is described. The method includes monitoring one or more neighbor cells of a same radio access technology as a serving cell while camped on the serving cell. The method also includes determining that reselection criteria is met for a target cell. The method further includes starting a reselection timer for the target cell. The method additionally includes determining whether to perform reselection to the target cell based on a target cell signal to noise ratio (SNR) and a serving cell SNR.
Abstract:
Access terminals are adapted to determine a tone location even when the tone is asymmetric. According to one example, an access terminal can obtain a plurality of samples for a received tone. The access terminal may detect which sample of the plurality of samples exhibits a maximum correlation value. The access terminal may further determine a location of the received tone based on the sample exhibiting the maximum correlation value. In some examples, the location of the received tone may be determine based on the sample exhibiting the maximum correlation value when a predicted signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is above a predetermined threshold. Otherwise, the access terminal may determine the tone location based on a central location between a first sample with a correlation value above a predefined threshold and a first subsequent sample with a correlation value below the predefined threshold. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
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.
