Abstract:
A wireless method and apparatus for late entry in frequency hopping systems that, during call setup, computes a random permutation sequence through a hop set of frequencies, chooses preamble frequencies to omit data thereon in lieu of preamble data, and swaps frequencies in the random permutation sequence such that synchronization frequencies lie next to the preamble frequencies with an expected delay such that late entrants can join. The wireless method and apparatus meets the FCC requirement of maintaining a pseudorandom hopping pattern and equal distribution of all frequencies in a hop set while guaranteeing late entry and having no effect on battery performance of radios.
Abstract:
Improved management of broadband data communications is provided to a converged portable communication device. The converged device provides restricted broadband communications during a normal operative mode of the device. Upon detecting a user-initiated external event, the converged device enters a pseudo-off state in which unrestricted broadband data transfers take place between an applications processor and a broadband modem, while LMR operations controlled by a baseband processor and baseband modem, are turned off
Abstract:
A portable communication device provides improved converged operations through the use of a programmable logic array operating as a coexistence module (CEM) interoperating with different processors, different modems, and an attenuation switch. Interference during converged operation is detected, analyzed, and applicable mitigation is applied, thereby enabling converged communications to be established in a mitigated mode until the interference has been removed.
