Abstract:
A circuit including an analog to digital converter and a processor is disclosed. The analog to digital converter may be configured to generate a plurality of samples from a received signal in response to a reference signal. The processor may be configured to designate one of an early sample of the samples and a late sample of the samples as an ideal sample in response to a first timing error of an on-time sample of the samples being greater than one-half a sample period of the received signal.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described by which interrupts from a source may be processed at a dynamically selectable level of priority. A system that has at least two different interrupt request connections, and that responds to interrupts asserted on the different connections by processing interrupts at associated and corresponding different priority levels, is configured so that an interrupt asserted by a particular interrupt source is coupled to a particular one of the plurality of request connections that has been selected under software control. Selective coupling of interrupt source to interrupt request connection may be effected by providing a set of control bits associated with each particular interrupt source, the set consisting, for example, of one interrupt mask bit for each of the different selectable priorities. Control may optionally be provided to preclude simultaneous coupling of an interrupt source to incompatible interrupt request connections.
Abstract:
A multi-phase signal generator and a multi-phase signal generating method thereof. The multi-phase signal generator includes a signal generator, a first comparator, a second comparator and a logic operation circuit. The signal generator generates a periodic signal. The first comparator receives the periodic signal and respectively compares the periodic signal with a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage to generate a first output signal. The second comparator receives the periodic signal and compares the periodic signal with a first threshold voltage to generate a second output signal. The logic operation circuit performs logic operations on the first output signal and the second output signal so as to generate a plurality of first phase output signals.

The method of data communication for a MAC layer includes initiating an access attempt; transmitting, by a mobile station, a probe to a base station (BS), wherein the probe includes header information and data frames; decoding the header information and the data frames; generating, by the BS, a SACK message; and transmitting the SACK message to the MS.
Abstract:
A mobile communications device with a wireless module and a controller module for performing an enhanced access procedure is provided. The wireless module performs wireless transmissions and receptions to and from a cellular station of a service network. The controller module transmits a random access preamble to the cellular station via the wireless module, receives a random access response message corresponding to the random access preamble from the cellular station via the wireless module, and transmits a scheduled transmission message including the MTC (machine type communication) data from the cellular station via the wireless module, in response to the random access response message. Then, the controller module completes the enhanced access procedure in response to receiving a contention resolution message from the cellular station via the wireless module.

The first accumulator accumulates the frequency control value according to the first oscillating signal to generate the first overflow output signal.
Abstract:
Extending acknowledgement messages from two states to at least three states is described, whereby such messages constitute a packet quality indication (PQI) reflecting quality or usability of the received signal. In an HARQ system, a transmitting station can flexibly select a better alternative for the next information to transmit on the basis of such PQI. One aspect includes determining how best to correct an unsuccessful packet transmission based on quality information about the specific packet. Implementing apparatus and procedures are described.
