Abstract:
A method for wireless communication by a wireless communication device is described. The method includes receiving geographic location information. The method also includes querying a geographic location tuning database for tuning parameter values corresponding with the geographic location information. The method further includes determining one or more tuning parameters to change based on the tuning parameter values. The method additionally includes adjusting an antenna for inductively coupled communication with a reader device according to the determined tuning parameters.
Abstract:
A method for communications is described. The method includes determining a symbol timing drift elimination amount for a received signal. The method further includes eliminating part of the symbol timing drift by adjusting a reference clock for the modem. Determining the symbol timing drift elimination amount may be based on at least one of a symbol timing drift estimate, a symbol timing error, a packet acquisition indicator, a packet validity indicator, demodulated bits or a carrier presence indicator.
Abstract:
A method for reducing transmission interference is described. The method may be performed by a wireless communication device. The method includes determining that a tuned FM frequency of an FM receiver is within a threshold of a harmonic of an inductive communication transmission produced by an inductive communication transceiver. A magnetic field of the inductive communication transceiver is inductively coupled with the FM receiver. The method also includes canceling the harmonic of the inductive communication transmission by energizing a parasitic loop with the magnetic field.
