摘要:
A method for processing a signal modulated with information symbols to account for an additive offset and slope is disclosed. First, an initial estimate of offset and slope is made and hypotheses of all possible values of a sequence of one or more information symbols are then made. For each of said hypotheses, the associated data symbol sequence is used to make an improved estimate of offset and slope and the improved estimate of offset and slope are stored against each of the hypotheses. For each hypothesis, the improved estimate of offset and slope is used in calculating an expected signal value and a mismatch between a sample of the modulated signal and the expected value is computed. The hypotheses are then sequentially extended by one symbol, the slope and offset estimates are updated and the mismatches are accumulated to form a path metric value for each extended hypothesis, and resolving between said hypotheses based on said path metric values using a Viterbi Sequential Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation process to produce a most likely hypothesis of said modulated information symbols substantially unimpaired by said additive slope and offset.

Methods, portable electronic devices, systems and computer program products are provided for automatically creating a social networking service (SNS) session. The methods include generating at and transmitting from a first device a first audio and/or video fingerprint of an audio and/or video event. The first audio and/or video fingerprint has a first predetermined length (T). A second audio and/or video fingerprint is periodically transmitted to a server from the first device. The second audio and/or video fingerprint has a second predetermined length (t), smaller than the first predetermined length (T), and includes data associated with the audio and/or video event that is later in time than data included in the first audio and/or video fingerprint. The first device is joined to an SNS session, automatically created by the server, responsive to receipts at the server, of a third audio and/or video fingerprint having the first predetermined length (T) from a second device that includes a portion of the first audio and/or video fingerprint or the second audio and/or video fingerprint periodically transmitted from the first device.

To enhance in-building location determination of an electronic device, described is a system and a method that uses a blip access point to transfer location assistance information to the electronic device. The location assistance information may contain a map of dummy beacons that serve as reference points (e.g., landmarks) from which the electronic device may determine its location relative to the map information.

A multiple-mode receiver incorporating direct conversion (processing received signals using intermediate frequencies within the same frequency range as the received signal bandwidth) rather than superheterodyne circuitry, allowing receiver hardware components to be re-used rather than replicated for each band. Various embodiments are disclosed in which low pass filters, mixers, quadrature generators, oscillators, and amplifiers are re-used.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a receiver device comprising a receiver (104) adapted to receive radio signals in two frequency bands (FB1, FB2). The radio signals in one of the frequency bands (FB1) constitute communication signals for a radio system (AMPS, NMT) having a certain channel spacing, whereas the radio signals of the second frequency band (FB2) constitutes communication signals for a second radio system (PCS1900, DCS1800, GSM) having a second certain channel spacing. The receiver (104) comprises two inputs (108, 11) each intended for a radio system having different frequency bands and channel spacing. For radio signals occurring on one input (108), mixing is performed from the RF range directly to the baseband frequency range. For radio signals occurring on the second input (108) the mixing from the radio frequency range to the baseband frequency range is carried out through an intermediate frequency range. Further the receiver (104) comprises an output (112) intended to deliver baseband signals for both radio systems. The output (112) is connected to a baseband unit which is common to the radio systems. In the baseband unit, among other things, lowpass filtering, detection and neighbouring channel suppression are performed on the received radio signal that has been mixed down to the baseband frequency range.
摘要:
A digitally compensated direct-conversion receiver includes devices for generating digital samples of a base-band in-phase signal and a base-band quadrature signal and for detecting the presence of a second-order product signal produced by an amplitude-modulated interfering signal. Also, the apparatus comprises a device for digitally compensating the digital samples by removing the second-order product signal, thereby producing compensated digital samples. In one method of digitally compensating samples of an information signal quadrature-modulating a carrier signal, estimated samples of a second-order product from a switched carrier signal are formed by averaging the digital samples during two time periods and by determining a time of ramps in the in-phase and quadrature signals that occur between the time periods due to the interfering signal. The digital samples may be differentiated and the results smoothed in determining the time of the ramps. In another apparatus, the estimated samples of the second-order product signal are produced by a device for averaging a square of a difference between respective digital samples of the in-phase signal and the quadrature signal, thereby determining an amplitude of the amplitude-modulated carrier signal, and a device for combining the amplitude and the digital samples, thereby generating the estimated samples.

A method for determining location of a mobile terminal includes repetitively switching power-on and power-off to a GPS receiver circuit which determines location of the mobile terminal using GPS signals. The power-on to power-off duty cycle of the GPS receiver circuit is regulated in response to distance that the mobile terminal has moved from a previously determined location. The power-on to power-off duty cycle can be regulated in response to identifying GPS isolation, in response to an acceleration-determined distance from previous GPS-determine location, an acceleration-determined velocity of the mobile terminal, availability of position assistance information from a cellular system, presence/absence of signals from a WLAN/Bluetooth device, and/or detection of a new cellular base station ID.
