    摘要: A Global navigation satellite-based systems (GNSS) enabled device, handling at least two of a plurality of sensors, collects GNSS measurements and navigation related non-GNSS sensor data. The collected navigation related non-GNSS sensor data is automatically formatted into a data format that is compatible with a format of the GNSS measurements. The formatted navigation related non-GNSS sensor data and the GNSS measurements are utilized by a single function to compute navigation information for the GNSS enabled device regardless of sensor configurations such as a cellular radio and/or a motion sensor. Measurement errors in the collected navigation related non-GNSS sensor data is estimated to determine measurement accuracy. The collected navigation related non-GNSS sensor data is selectively adopted, combined with the GNSS measurements, to compute navigation information by the single function based on the determined measurement accuracy. The computed navigation information may be utilized to calibrate sensor and/or sensor data when needed.

    摘要: A system and method for implementing a common control bus in a multi-regulator power supply integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may, for example, comprise first and second power regulator modules that control at least one characteristic of respective power signals. The integrated circuit may also, for example, comprise a communication interface module that receives power control information related to operation of the first and second power regulator modules over a shared data bus. An exemplary method may, for example, comprise receiving power control information over a data bus. The method may also, for example, comprise determining which of a plurality of power regulators corresponds to the received power control information. The method may further, for example, comprise determining a regulator control signal, based at least in part on the received power control information, and provide the regulator control signal to the determined regulator(s) to control operation of the determined regulator(s).

    摘要: Embodiments include antenna systems capable of producing high quality circularly, elliptically, or linearly polarized radiation. Embodiments include single feed (single-ended or differential) or multiple feed antennas. Embodiments can be electronically configured to adjust the type of polarization of the antenna system. In an embodiment, the polarization of the antenna system is adjusted by adjusting at least the position of a grounding node (302a-c) relative to the position of a feed node (106). In another embodiment, the polarization of the antenna system is adjusted by configuring one or more input nodes of the antenna between feed nodes, grounding nodes, and open nodes. In another embodiment, the polarization of the antenna system is adjusted by adjusting the phase of a single differential feed of the system.

    摘要: Session recovery after network coordinator or AP restart for single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. Restart or reset of a network coordinator (e.g., an access point (AP) or other network coordinator type device) may occur for various reasons (e.g., a power cycle or power failure, inadequate failover protection, scheduled or planned power outages such as for including network maintenance, software upgrades, etc.). Upon determination of network coordinator restarted or reset, a singular bit within a communication from the network coordinator indicates synchronization or not of the its timing synchronization function (TSF) (e.g., with other devices in the communication system, such as wireless stations (STAs), smart meter stations (SMSTAs), etc.). A given device (e.g., STA, SMSTA, etc.) can provide its current TSF to the network coordinator so that it can resynchronize, re-establish its scheduled for wake times of those devices (e.g., target wake times (TWTs)), etc.
