Abstract: In a communication device and corresponding methods, a hierarchical, reduced power, beam search process includes a hierarchical activation of the radio frequency frontend (RFFE), transceiver, and baseband integrated circuit (BBIC) for a beam searching operations. For example, a first signal metric measurements can be performed to determine signal information. An operating mode can be determined based on the signal information. In a first operating mode, one or more second signal metric measurements can be performed for a subset of beamforming configurations of the wireless communication device to determine beamforming information. In a second operating mode, one or more third signal metric measurements can be performed on the beamforming configurations to determine the beamforming information.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for placing bits in an isochronous data stream from a first data port to a second data port. A device may inject, using a first port, based on a periodicity less than a defined frame rate of a data stream comprising multiple frames, a status or control bit in place of one or more low-order bits, reserved bits, or unused bits of a frame of the data stream, wherein the frame includes one or more data words; receive, using a second port synchronized to the periodicity, the data stream from the first port; extract, using the second port, based on the periodicity, the status or control bit; and extract, using the second port, a remainder of the frame.

Abstract: A wireless communication device can include an oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit can include an oscillator and measurement circuitry coupled to the oscillator. The measurement circuitry can receive an output signal of the oscillator and measure oscillator error by comparing the output signal of the oscillator to a nominal frequency for an amount of time. The oscillator circuit can further include adjustment circuitry to adjust an oscillator frequency of the oscillator based on the measured oscillator error.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for reducing or mitigating phase noise of a digital phase lock loop or the system depending on the digital phase lock loop. In an example, a multiple-mode digital phase lock loop can include a digital phase lock loop (DPLL), multiple frequency scalers configured to receive a reference clock, and a multiplexer configured to receive a mode command signal and to couple an output of one of the multiple frequency scalers to an input of the DPLL in response to a state of the mode command signal.
