摘要:
An electronic device comprising a ROM, a reprogrammable memory, a processor, and a patching device. The ROM stores a first function starting from a first address, the reprogrammable memory stores a second function starting from a second address, the patching device couples to the ROM and the reprogrammable memory, and the processor couples to the patching device. The patching device receives directive information from the processor and determines whether the processor is going to fetch the first function, and generates and returns a branch instruction to the processor when the processor is going to fetch the first function. After receiving the branch instruction, the processor executes the branch instruction to cause an unconditional jump to the second address and subsequently fetches the second function.

An embodiment of a method for link management in a scatternet, performed by a wireless communication device, is provided. The wireless communication device simultaneously establishes a synchronization link in a first piconet, and an asynchronization link in a second piconet. The embodiment of the method contains the following steps. At least one time interval originally utilized for packet transmissions in the synchronization link is sacrificed. During the sacrificed time interval, the asynchronization link is switched to for a time period to maintain connection between the wireless communication device and a peer device operating with the asynchronization link.

A communications apparatus is provided. A first wireless communications module provides a first wireless communications service and communicates with a first communications device in compliance with a first protocol. A second wireless communications module provides a second wireless communications service and communicates with a second communications device in compliance with a second protocol. A clock source is shared by the first and the second communications modules and provides a reference clock to the first and the second communications modules. The first wireless communications module detects a request from the second wireless communications module for activating the clock source, determines whether the reference clock has been stably generated by the clock source, and adjusts an electrical characteristic of the clock source to facilitate the reference clock output from the clock source to achieve a target frequency when the reference clock has not been stably generated.

A wireless communications module coexisting with a wireless telephony communications module includes a radio frequency (RF) module, a MODEM, a clock generator and distributor and a system control logic. The system control logic issues an external interrupt (EINT) signal to the wireless telephony communications module for activating a clock source via the wireless telephony communications module. When the clock source is activated, the clock generator and distributor receives a reference clock from the activated clock source, converts the reference clock into one or more internal clocks and drives the internal clock or clocks to the RF module and the MODEM for synchronization therebetween.

An embodiment of an apparatus for channel assessment is provided, comprising a radio frequency (RF) unit, a baseband unit and a microprocessor control unit (MCU). The baseband unit coupling to the RF unit directs the RF unit to selectively hop into one of a plurality of available channels in a frequency band using a pseudorandom sequence to receive a plurality of packets via the hopped channel. The MCU coupling to the baseband unit accumulates a measure for the hopped channel according to reception results of the packets and marks the hopped channel as a bad channel when the accumulated measure exceeds a predetermined threshold. The measure represents the inaccuracy extent during packet reception via the hopped channel.
