摘要:
A multiple channel receiver (200) includes a communications receiver synthesizer (204) and at least one numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) (406) that produce local oscillator signals that are derived from a common reference oscillator (202). A DSP (212) and CPU (214) perform automatic frequency control (AFC) by adjustment of the reference oscillator (202) based upon a signal received by a receive channel using the local oscillator signal produced by the communications receiver synthesizer (204). The CPU (214) also provides a synchronous indication of adjustments to the reference oscillator (202) to control circuitry for the at least one NCO (406) so that the configuration of the NCO (406) can be altered so as to maintain a substantially constant frequency output during the adjustment of the reference oscillator (202).

A system (100) grants inbound channel capacity using frequency and time diversity by wirelessly transmitting on a first (202) of a plurality of outbound channels (202-208) a first (511) of a plurality of first inbound channel grant signals (511-514) for controlling transmission of a multiple channel mobile station (106) on a plurality of inbound channels (212-218). Thereafter, on a second (204) of the plurality of outbound channels a second (512) of the plurality of first inbound channel grant signals is wirelessly transmitted. Furthermore, the system (100) grants inbound channel capacity using time diversity by wirelessly transmitting on the first (202) of the plurality of outbound channels all of a plurality of second inbound channel grant signals (521-524) for controlling transmission of a single channel mobile station (104) on one (212) of the plurality of inbound channels are transmitted.

A method of adding an appliance to a federation of appliances includes the steps of placing an introduction device in close proximity to the appliance and then establishing a secure communications channel between the appliance and the introduction device. Next, security information of the federation is transferred from the introduction device to the appliance. The appliance is thereafter a member of the federation.

A portable electronic device (100) includes a keypad (e.g. 300) that may be actuated from either side of a single substrate (301, 401, 501, 601, 701, 801). The keypad includes inner actuators (103) and outer actuators (205) that provide active contact, support and tactile feel from both sides of the substrate. The electronic device gains greater operability and utility since a single keypad is operable from either side of one housing.

A system, method and computer readable medium are provided for segmenting a cache that is shared by multiple processors. According to the method, a first segment of the cache is allocated to a first processor and a second segment of the cache is allocated to a second processor. An execution time of at least one task on the first processor is monitored. If the execution time of the at least one task is greater than an allowed execution time minus a predetermined margin, the size of the first segment of the cache that is allocated to the first processor is increased. In one preferred method, if the execution time of the at least one task is significantly less than the allowed execution time minus the predetermined margin, the size of the first segment of the cache that is allocated to the first processor is decreased.

A redundant linear power amplifier (LPA) system is provided for minimizing the loss of power output during malfunction conditions. The redundant LPA system includes a transmitter (102) with redundant LPA units (110, 112) for providing spatial combining redundancy and transmitter polarization diversity. Each LPA unit (110, 112) receives an input signal. The output from one of the LPA units (110) is connected to an antenna (120) and the output from the second LPA unit (112) is phase shifted (117) and then connected to a second antenna (122). Alternatively, the outputs from the LPA units (110, 112) are input into a quadrature hybrid (126) and the output (128) from a first port (131) of the quadrature hybrid (126) is connected to the first antenna (120) and the output (130) from a second quadrature hybrid port (133) is phase shifted (117) and connected to the second antenna (122).

An interference canceller 200 and corresponding method thereof operates to reduce the level of an interfering signal and includes a circulator 202 comprising a transmitter port, a receiver port and an antenna port, a transmission line 210 comprising a first end coupled to the transmitter port and a second end for coupling to a signal source; and a circuit 216, having an input coupled to the receiver port 206 and an output coupled 220 to the transmission line, for providing a phase shifted version of a signal coupled to the input at the output, wherein an interfering signal at the antenna port is reverse coupled to the transmission line by the circulator and coupled to the input of the circuit so as to reduce an amplitude of the interfering signal at the second end 212 of the transmission line. The interference canceller concepts may advantageously be used in a single transmitter version or in a multiple transmitter version (FIG. 4).

Multi-dimensional information is stored as a plurality of predetermined shares of data, wherein at least some of the predetermined shares of data each comprises a plurality of data elements with each one of the plurality of data elements being associated with a different distinct memory bank. Data parsed and arrayed in this way can then be selectively recalled to readily and easily accommodate a variety of data processing needs without an attendant need for complex addressing schemes and the like.
