Abstract:
A method and apparatus for pairing devices is provided herein. During operation, an initial orientation of the two devices is determined. If the initial orientation of the two devices match a predetermined orientation offset from each other, then after a period of time, the orientation of the devices is again determined. If a final orientation of the two devices match a second predetermined orientation offset (e.g., devices are aligned), and both devices have rotated, then the two devices are paired.

Abstract:
A method of expanding a capacity of a single radio channel, and a radio. The method includes receiving a primary signal and a secondary signal. The method also includes a transmitter modulating the primary signal and the secondary signal. The method further includes the transmitter scaling a power of the secondary signal below a power of the primary signal to create a power differential. The method also includes the transmitter offsetting a carrier frequency of the secondary signal from a carrier frequency of the primary signal to create a carrier frequency offset. The method further includes the transmitter combining the primary signal and the secondary signal to generate a composite signal. The method also includes the transmitter transmitting the composite signal within the single radio channel via an antenna. The antenna is coupled to the transmitter.
Abstract:
An apparatus for simultaneously receiving incoming messages on at least two channels in a multi-channel device, wherein a first incoming message is received on a first channel of the at least two channels according to a first protocol. Responsive to receiving the first incoming message, outgoing messages are transmitted on the first channel while the incoming messages are simultaneously received on a second channel. The outgoing messages to be sent according to the first protocol are queued in a transmitter. The transmitter also monitors at least one data stack that is used for transmitting messages according to a second protocol for transmit opportunities. Responsive to detecting a transmit opportunity, the transmitter transmits an optimal number of the outgoing messages within the duration of the transmit opportunity. The outgoing messages are transmitted on the first channel without affecting incoming messages received on the second channel.
Abstract:
A battery-powered multi-function voice-collaboration device includes a speaker and a microphone to support voice transmission and reception. The device has an enhanced-functionality mode EFM and a reduced-functionality mode RFM and is communicatively coupled to a battery-powered portable radio. The device determines a first operating duration if operated entirely in a RFM comprising one or more battery-consuming voice functions, and determines a second estimated operating duration N if operated entirely in an EFM comprising another battery-consuming function in addition to the battery-consuming voice functions. The device requests and receives an estimated operating duration indication of the portable radio. Responsive to determining that an estimated operating duration Z of the portable radio is between the first and second durations R, N: operating the device in the EFM for a third duration and in the RFM for a fourth duration such that the third and fourth durations combined equal the duration Z.
Abstract:
A communication system (100) formed of a radio management system (104) interoperates with a radio management codeplug database (106) and a confusability analyzer (108) for the creation and storage of voice recognition target strings for uploading to one or more land mobile portable radios (110) prior to field-deployment. Once the radios are deployed to the field, unrecognized voice command entries are determined, stored locally at the portable radio, and uploaded to cloud based storage (122). Analysis of the cloud based data is performed through a voice control analytics engine (124) to detect patterns associated with the unrecognized voice commands. The unrecognized voice command pattern is processed though a resolution action engine (126) to generate one or more resolution actions for the pattern.
