    Abstract: In a wireless near field communication (NFC) system, a target, such as a smart card, can communicate with an initiator, such as a card reader, by load modulating a radio frequency (RF) signal generated by the initiator. When two or more targets load modulate the RF signal generated, “collisions” can occur with the load modulation. Apparatus and methods detect the presence or absence of collisions in a lower layer or physical layer and report the presence of detected collisions to an upper layer for further handling.

    Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein relate to improving acquisition for NFC load modulation. In one example, a communications device is equipped to monitor at least a complex component of load modulation of a carrier signal, detect, using a NFC technology type specific peak detection scheme, a peak associated with at least the complex component, and determine a presence of a packet beginning pattern based on the detected peak. In an aspect, the packet beginning pattern may be associated with a reception of a packet from a target NFC device.

    Abstract: An example method of ultra-wideband (UWB) sensing performed by a wireless communication device, the method comprising determining a first channel impulse response (CIR) estimation of a first frequency channel based on a radio access technology (RAT) session, wherein the RAT is different from UWB. The method also comprises determining a second CIR estimation of a second frequency channel based on a UWB session and determining a third CIR estimation of the first frequency channel based on determining a phase difference between the third CIR estimation and the first CIR estimation. The method further comprises determining a total CIR estimation for a combined frequency channel comprising the first frequency channel and the second frequency channel based on stitching the first CIR estimation, the second CIR estimation, and the third CIR estimation.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a receiver detects a timing error between a transmitter clock at a transmitter and a receiver clock at a receiver associated with an exchange of CPM signals. The receiver phase aligns input samples of a candidate received signal over a time window based on a rotating signal corresponding to a phase progression of the candidate received signal. The receiver generates first and second partial sums of the phase-aligned input samples that are accumulations of phase-aligned input samples corresponding to modulation symbols that contribute positive and negative phases, respectively, to the phase progression. The receiver determines a phase difference between the first and second partial sums, and generates a timing-error metric that is indicative of a timing error between the transmitter clock and the receiver clock based at least in part upon the determined phase difference.

    Abstract: A method for setting an initial gain and an initial offset for an automatic gain and offset controller (AGOC) is described. The method includes determining a gain level at which a signal does not under-saturate or over-saturate an input to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) by performing a binary search over a fixed set of gain levels while an offset is fixed. The method also includes determining an offset correction to bring an unmodulated carrier level at an output of the ADC to a target level. The method may also include updating the gain and the offset in response to changes in a signal level.

    Abstract: A method for inductively-coupled communications is described. The method includes receiving a signal. The method also includes analyzing the signal to estimate a symbol timing error. Estimating the symbol timing error may include comparing a location of a pause, a low-to-high or a high-to-low transition in the received signal with an ideal location of a pause or a transition. The method further includes adjusting symbol timing to correct for the symbol timing error.
