    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for blending analog and digital portions of a composite digital audio broadcast signal by using look ahead metrics computed from previously received audio frames to guide the blending process and prevent unnecessary blending back and forth between analog and digital if the look ahead metrics indicate that future digital signal quality is degraded or impaired.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a receiver front end circuit can receive and process multiple radio frequency (RF) signals and output downconverted signals corresponding to these signals. In turn, multiple signal processors can be coupled to this front end. Specifically, a first signal processor can receive and process the downconverted signals to output a first signal obtained from content of a first RF signal, and a second signal processor can receive and process the downconverted signals to output a second signal obtained from content of a second RF signal. In addition, the apparatus may include a detection circuit coupled to the receiver front end circuit to detect presence of at least the second signal and enable the second signal processor responsive to the detected presence.

    Abstract: Certain embodiments herein are directed to optimized decoding of in-band on-channel (IBOC) services, such as audio, traffic, and data associated with HD Radio™. Service information, such as service boundaries for one or more segments associated with IBOC services, may be identified and formatted for transmission to a receiver device. The receiver device may use the service boundaries to select or filter segments associated only with a service of interest from a bit stream of segments associated with one or more other services, according to one embodiment.

    Abstract: A method for specifying content of interest using a digital radio broadcast receiver is described. A digital radio broadcast signal includes first audio content and first program data, wherein the first program data includes information identifying a first item, and includes second audio content and second program data, wherein the second program data includes information identifying a second item. A user command entered at a user interface during reception of audio content is registered, indicating a user's interest in either the first or second audio content. It is determined whether there is an ambiguity in the content of interest. If there is an ambiguity, a first data structure is stored for the first audio content, and a second data structure is stored for the second audio content. The first data structure includes the information identifying the first item, and the second data structure includes the information identifying the second item.
