Abstract: A signal is detected and an unwanted jamming signal is removed from the detected signal. Respective first, second and third correlations between a received signal and signals at first, second and third frequencies are determined over a plurality of taps. The second frequency is higher than the first frequency and lower than the third frequency, and is equally spaced from the first and third frequencies. The second frequency is adapted to a frequency of the received signal such that peaks in the first and third correlations after corresponding adaptation of the first and third frequencies have substantially equal magnitudes. A difference is determined between non-peak magnitudes of the first and third correlations; and at least one of the correlations is compensated for the effects of the jamming signal, based on said difference.

Abstract: According to a method of Successive Approximation Register (SAR) analog to digital conversion, N+1 SAR cycles are performed to obtain an output digital code having N bits. An analog signal is sampled and obtained. After execution of the first N−1 SAR cycles, the Nth SAR cycle is performed by setting a Nth tentative analog signal corresponding to a provisional digital code and comparing the Nth tentative analog signal with the sampled analog signal to obtain a Nth comparison result. The (N+1)th SAR cycle is performed by setting a (N+1)th tentative analog signal based on the Nth comparison result, comparing the (N+1)th tentative analog signal with the sampled analog signal to obtain a second comparison result, and correcting the provisional digital code based on the (N+1)th comparison result to obtain the output digital code. The Nth and (N+1)th SAR cycles each comprise a plurality sub-comparisons and yield a set of sub-results.

Abstract: A UE side Broadcast/Multicast Control (BMC) protocol layer determines those Cell Broadcast Service (CBS) messages (and their repetitions) which the UE shall read or ignore in a succeeding CBS schedule period, based on the CBS Schedule Message contents (Message Description Type and New Message Bitmap) received in a current CBS schedule period, the CBS messages already stored in the BMC, and the CBS messages to be received. In this manner, the UE may ignore CBS messages it has already received, without knowledge of the CBS message serial numbers, and thus conserve resources such as battery power.
