摘要:
A selective call radio (300) includes receiver (200). The receiver in turn includes an antenna (202) for receiving a radio signal having a first operating frequency, an amplifier(204) coupled thereto for generating an amplified signal; and a frequency translation circuit (208). The frequency translation circuit includes a selectivity filter (212) and an integrated frequency conversion circuit (216). The selectivity is coupled to the amplified signal for generating a filtered signal. The integrated frequency conversion circuit is coupled to the filtered signal and is incorporated into at least one IC (integrated circuit). The integrated frequency conversion circuit includes an oscillator (220), a divider (224), and a mixer (218). A first input of the mixer is coupled to the filtered signal generated by the selectivity filter. The divider is coupled to the oscillator and its output is coupled to a second input of the mixer. The mixer generates an output signal having a second operating frequency, the second operating frequency having a frequency value different from the frequency value of the first operating frequency of the radio signal.
摘要:
A transceiver device (52 or 10) operates as a source of a data transmission in a communication system (50) capable of dynamically allocating spectrum for transmission of the data transmission between the transceiver device (52) and a second transceiver device (51). The transceiver device (10) includes a transmitter, a receiver coupled to the transmitter and a processor or controller (12) coupled to the transmitter and receiver. The transceiver device is programmed to monitor the spectrum (channels 1-13 of FIG. 3) to determine if a portion (channels 4-8 for example in time slot 8) of the spectrum is available. The transceiver determines what portion of the spectrum is desired for data transmission and then transmits (see time slots 11 and 13) the data transmission within a dynamically selected portion of the available spectrum.

A communication system (100) that selects alternative data channels for communication has a base station (106) coupled to a plurality of alternative data communication systems (112, 114, 116) that receive messages intended for a selective call device designated by an address. A data scheduler (104), coupled to the base station (106) and the plurality of alternative data communication systems (112, 114, 116), has a categorizer (404) for categorizing the message as being suitable for transmission on an alternative data channel, a controller (402) for coordinating a list of the alternative data communication systems suitable for transmitting the message and a selector (406) for selecting the alternative data channel for transmitting the message. A controller (105) encodes a selective call signal with the address and a vector and a transmitter transmits the selective call signal to the selective call device (102) on a control channel including the address for identifying the selective call device the vector designating the alternative data channel.

The disclosure is a routing method for data in a personal area network. The personal area network includes a plurality of nodes. The method includes receiving a frame at a node, determining whether the node contains a routing table entry for the frame destination, and when the node contains a routing table entry, determining a route for the frame based on a first routing protocol. The method further includes, when the node does not contain a routing table entry for the frame destination, determining whether a route should be discovered for the frame destination, and when a route should not be discovered, determining a route for the frame based on a second routing protocol.
摘要:
An automatic simulcast correction method (300) for a selective call receiver (100) includes the steps of measuring a received signal (304) for a received signal strength indication measurement and then determining if a protocol indicates a simulcast signal (310). If the received signal strength indication measurement is above a predefined threshold and the protocol indicates the simulcast signal, then the selective call receiver is optimized for simulcast delay spread distortion (312). If the received signal strength indication measurement is below a predefined threshold or the protocol does not indicate the simulcast signal, then the selective call receiver is optimized for static sensitivity (314).
摘要:
A dual channel receiver (100) includes a front end bandpass filter (120) that has a front end bandwidth, a first mixer (130), a second mixer (135), and two essentially identical receiver back ends (190, 195). The front end bandpass filter splits a received signal into a first signal (121) and a second signal (122) of essentially equal signal strengths and provides out of band isolation between first and second signal outputs (123, 124). The first mixer is coupled to the first signal and to a high side injection signal (131), and generates a first mixer output signal (132). The second mixer is coupled to the second signal and to a low side injection signal (136), and generates a second mixer output signal (137). Each of the two essentially identical receiver back ends is coupled to one of the first and second mixer output signals.

Finally, the circuit further includes a comparison circuit (360) programmed to receive and compare the moving average of the center count and the moving average of the edge count to provide a control signal (380) for simulcast detection.
