    Abstract: Systems and methods for antenna selection in a wireless terminal with two radios are provided. Signals received using first and second antennas are demodulated by first and second modems according to first and second protocols. A receive path between the second antenna and the second modem can be controlled to receive signals according to the first protocol. A performance measure of demodulating, according to the first protocol, a signal received using the second antenna is determined. The performance measure may be determined using a mirror module in the second modem or using a search module in the first modem. The wireless terminal switches antennas so that the first modem demodulates a signal received using the second antenna, if the performance measure for using the second antenna is such that the switch would improve performance of the first modem.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems and computer-readable media for addressing the aging of oscillation (XO) crystals are presented. Some embodiments may determine a change of age of the XO crystal since last prior use of the XO crystal. Embodiments may then determine that at least one calibration parameter is not suitable for use in at least one calibration technique of the XO crystal, based on the change of age of the XO crystal. Embodiments may then determine at least one fresh calibration parameter configured to update the at least one calibration parameter for suitable use in the at least one calibration technique of the XO crystal.

    Abstract: System and method for temperature-calibration of a crystal oscillator (XO) in a mobile device. A temperature-calibration status of the XO is determined and a trigger condition related to temperature-calibration of the XO is detected. If the temperature-calibration status of the XO is not fully temperature-calibrated or if the XO has not been previously temperature-calibrated, a temperature-calibration session is initiated by an XO manager based on the condition, wherein a receiver is configured to receive signals and temperature-calibration of the XO is performed in a background mode based on the received signals. The condition based triggering ensures that the XO is temperature-calibrated prior to launch of any position based or global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) based applications on the mobile device. The trigger condition can include first use or power-on, charging, presence in an outdoor environment, variation in operating temperature, pre-specified time, and/or user input pertaining to the mobile device.
