    摘要: Allocation of channels in a dedicated frequency spectrum on a secondary basis. A direct mode communication request (150) from a first wireless communication device (112) can be received and processed to determine whether there are one or more secondary communication channels over which direct mode communication may be implemented between the first wireless communication devices and other wireless communication devices (114, 116, 118) without violating at least one communication policy for the secondary communication channel. Use of a secondary communication channel can be assigned or denied. In addition, a direct mode communication request can be communicated from a wireless communication device to a base transceiver station (104) identifying one or more other communication devices for which direct mode communication is requested.

    摘要: A technique for spectrum sensing management and control for a secondary communication system seeking to utilize another communication system's spectrum is provided (600). Sensor control data is sent from a base station to subscriber units (604). Sensing measurements are taken and sent back to the base station for ranking (608) as sensed feedback information. Comparisons of the sensed feedback information are made to each other and to thresholds aligned with the types of measurements taken (610). An initial ranked channel list is generated (612). Weighting of the initial ranking list and secondary ranking list is followed by re-ranking the channels according to the weighting into a final ranking list (612). The final ranking list is transmitted to the mobile units to enable operation within the other communication system's spectrum within interfering with that system (614). The weighting is based on the type of sensing measurement taken as opposed to the channel.

    摘要: A method of detecting an on-channel signal and synchronizing signal detection with correcting for DC offset errors in a direct conversion receiver is presented. A received signal is digitized, and a state machine operates to detect the presence of an on-channel signal. If the signal is not detected, a mixed mode training sequence is initiated in which the DC offset errors in both an analog and digital received signal path are corrected. While training, processing of the digitized samples by a digital signal processor and a host controller is suspended (while they are put into battery save mode) and the gain provided to subsequently received signals is minimized. The DC offset correction circuitry is bypassed and put into battery save mode at predetermined periods when DC offset correction is not performed.

    摘要: A communication system comprises a direct conversion receiver for correcting imbalance errors. The direct conversion receiver receives a radio frequency (RF) signal and converts the RF signal to baseband signals. The direct conversion receiver further translates the baseband signals to digital signals having a direct current (DC) offset and applies a DC offset correction to the digital signals having the DC offset to generate first DC offset corrected signals. An imbalance correction unit of the direct conversion receiver applies an imbalance correction to the first DC offset corrected signals by estimating an error between an average envelope of the first DC offset corrected signals and an average envelope of second DC offset corrected signals. The imbalance correction unit is fixed at initial imbalance parameter values. The direct conversion receiver further updates the initial imbalance parameter values of the imbalance correction unit based on the estimated error for correcting imbalance errors.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for receiving and processing multiple independent, uncorrelated RF signals is presented. The apparatus includes a Hybrid-Direct Conversion Receiver incorporating front end branches, protocol-specific digital processing branches, an interference detector, a correlator, and an offset control for controlling oscillator sources. The front end branches each contain a preselector that filters received signals and a mixer that down converts the received signal to an IF offset from a reference frequency by a unique offset. The bandwidth of an IF processor is partitioned into sub-channels corresponding to the different offsets and is wider than the combination of the sub-channels. The interference detector and correlator determine whether a particular desired signal is degraded by interference signals and select a new sub-channel. This information is provided to the offset control, which adjusts a LO source coupled to the corresponding down mixer accordingly.

    摘要: A channel scanning technique and apparatus provides audio hole suppression in two-way radio communications. Upon detecting the absence of a carrier signal on a priority channel during a priority scan mode of operation, a training waveform is constructed upon returning to the home-channel. The training waveform is applied to audio shaping filters within an audio lineup to suppress transients and minimize or eliminate the occurrence of audio pops at a speaker output thereby reducing the audio hole.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for correcting direct current (DC) offset errors of a received signal in a direct conversion receiver (DCR) are provided. DC offset correction algorithms are incorporated into the DCR, each algorithm being optimized for a particular receive signal operating environment. The DC offset correction algorithms remove DC offset errors in baseband In-phase and Quadrature-phase signals received within the direct conversion receiver baseband signal path. Individual DC offset correction algorithms are selected for use as determined by a signal quality estimator component. A DC offset correction component of the direct conversion receiver determines an appropriate DC offset correction algorithm suited for a particular operating environment. A criterion for a signal quality estimate is set to control transitioning between DCOC algorithms. A dual threshold strategy may be adopted to transition between one DC offset correction algorithm and another DC offset correction algorithm to provide hysteresis.
