摘要:
In a wireless communications system, during a base station or cell monitoring procedure, a device, system, and method may enable a communication device to determine if a serving base station is transmitting an adequate signal, and, if the base station is not transmitting an adequate signal, identifying another base station that may provide adequate service. For example, it may be determined if at least one other base station in a list of previously identified base stations transmits adequate signals. If this is not the case, a scan may be performed of a set of channels to identify further base stations or cells.

A method for communication includes receiving modulated signals, which convey encoded speech. A measure of information entropy associated with the received signals is estimated. A speech encoding scheme is selected responsively to the estimated measure of the information entropy. A request to encode subsequent speech using the selected speech encoding scheme is sent to a transmitter.

A method includes storing in a mobile communication terminal a definition of a set of frequency bands in which the terminal is capable of communicating, including at least first and second frequency bands. One or more combinations of at least portions of the frequency bands in the set, which cannot be allocated in proximity to one another due to interference, are determined in the terminal. A search is conducted in the terminal over the set of the frequency bands. Upon detecting a presence of a candidate wireless network in a first portion of the first frequency band, which cannot be allocated in proximity to at least a second portion of the second frequency band in accordance with the specification, at least the second portion is omitted from the search.

A method includes assigning a communication channel for simultaneous transmission to at least first and second mobile communication terminals using a Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) communication protocol. Upon determining that data is to be transmitted over the communication channel to both the first and the second mobile communication terminals, the data is transmitted at a first power level that is defined for transmission to the first mobile communication terminal as part of the simultaneous transmission. Upon determining that the data is to be transmitted over the communication channel only to the first mobile communication terminal, the data is transmitted at a second power level that is defined for transmission only to the first mobile communication terminal and is lower than the first power level.
摘要:
Interference mitigation strategies are presented for use within a transmitter in a wireless system. In at least one embodiment, one or more transmit signals may be generated that are capable of suppressing common channel interference effects within an associated receiver. In other embodiments, one or more transmit signals may be generated that are capable of suppressing dedicated channel interference effects within an associated receiver.

A searcher for a mobile station of a cellular telephony network. Pilot signal from nearby base stations are correlated with a pseudonoise sequence inside a search window, using a bank of correlators. Each correlator is assigned a different delay, from among a sequence of delays in the window. At each delay, correlation is performed initially for a first dwell time. If the resulting correlation value exceeds a threshold, the correlation is continued for a second dwell time. Otherwise, the correlator is set to the next delay in the sequence. Only the outputs of second dwell correlations are used to identify the nearest base station. Some correlators may perform first dwell correlations at new delays in the window at the same time that other correlators are still performing second dwell correlations at old delays in the window.

A pilot acquisition unit for code division multiple access (CDMA) communication systems is provided which includes a fast Hadamard transform (FHT) unit and a pre-Hadamard processing unit. The FHT unit determines the quality, in accordance with a metric, of each of a set of possible pseudo-random number (PN) loadings and the pre-Hadamard processing unit generates a vector u per set of PN loadings. The vector u defines a quality metric of a received pilot signal with the set of possible PN loadings, the pre-Hadamard processing unit providing the vector u to the FHT unit.
摘要:
A method in a receiver includes receiving from a transmitter an instruction to check for messages from the transmitter at intervals having a specified time period. A frequency error of the receiver relative to the transmitter is estimated at the receiver, and an actual time period that does not exceed the specified time period is selected based on the estimated frequency error. The receiver is activated periodically according to the selected actual time period so as to reset the frequency error.
