    摘要: A modem (for example, a modem within a cellular telephone) includes a plurality of Wireless Communication System Modem Sub-Circuits (WCSMSCs). Each WCSMSC receives a control signal generated by a corresponding one of a plurality of programmable timers. Each timer receives the same sequence of count values from a wall clock counter. A processor that controls overall modem operation can program a timer to generate a control pulse at a particular count time of the wall clock counter. The processor can also program a timer to generate a periodic control signal. The control signals output from the timers orchestrate when the various WCSMSCs start operating in the processing of a frame. By virtue of the programmability of the timers, the wall clock timer system is programmable to generate customized control signals such that frames of new and different protocols having arbitrary frame structures can be processed by the same modem/timer system.

    摘要: A flexible and reconfigurable digital system (for example, a wireless modem) includes a set of sub-circuits. Each sub-circuit includes a task manager and an amount of configurable hardware circuitry for performing a type of operation on a data stream. The task manager of a sub-circuit can configure and control the configurable hardware of the sub-circuit. A central processor configures and orchestrates operation of the sub-circuits by maintaining a set of task lists in a tightly coupled memory. Each task list includes task instructions for a corresponding sub-circuit. The task manager of a sub-circuit reads task instructions from its task list and controls its associated hardware circuitry as directed by the instructions. A timestamp task instruction and a push task instruction and the task list architecture allow modem sub-circuits to be easily reconfigured to operate in accordance with either a first air interface standard or a second air interface standard.

    摘要: An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus may include an FFT symbol buffer and a demapping device. The FFT symbol buffer can feed FFT symbol data derived from received communication signals to a channel estimation device and a shared buffer. The channel estimation device can also provide intermediate data to the shared buffer. The intermediate data may be in tile form and can be derived from the FFT symbol data. Further, the intermediate data can be stored in the shared buffer. The demapping device can extract the intermediate data from the shared buffer in various forms including sub-packet form.

    摘要: A reference signal management (RSM) program executing on a mobile device detects multiple reference signals, allocates those reference signals into groups, and performs reference signal management functions using information conveyed in the reference signals. The RSM program detects both broadband and narrowband reference signals and maintains updated groups of reference signals that are transmitted from access points with independent configurations or different radio technologies. Battery power of the mobile device is efficiently used to manage reference signals in heterogeneous network environments by preventing unnecessary handoffs, overhead downloads, access probes and new registrations. Reference signals are managed from both synchronous and asynchronous sectors and in idle mode as well as in connected state mode. The RSM program performs functions such as managing handoffs between access points, managing an idle mode of the mobile device, managing an active group of the detected reference signals, and collecting overhead parameters for the mobile device.

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate multimode communication in wireless networks. Receiving and/or transmitting components can comprise a plurality of receive paths over which antennas can forward concurrently received signals to facilitate simultaneous or shared receiving of signals related to disparate communication technologies. The receive paths can be implemented by one or more multiplexers (e.g., diplexers, triplexers, etc.) to facilitate separating signals simultaneously received over disparate bands. In addition, antenna switching is described to facilitate shared receiving. Multimode transmitting is similarly provided. In particular, voice, data and global positioning system (GPS) signals can be concurrently received and processed by a wireless device.

    摘要: Techniques for inner/outer loop tracking that is stable and provides desirable loop convergence characteristics are disclosed. In one aspect, the contribution from any one inner loop to the tracking function of the outer loop is limited, to prohibit any one received signal component from dominating the outer loop. In another aspect, the rate of outer loop tracking variation is controlled to provide inner and outer loop stability. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of providing stable inner and outer loop control, as well as efficient convergence and tracking by the various loops, resulting in reduced frequency error and improved communication performance.
