摘要:
A communication device performs a method for detecting presence of a jamming signal. The method includes retrieving a scan list comprising multiple radio channels within a first frequency range of operation of the communication device. The method further includes scanning at least a subset of the channels on the scan list to determine, for each scanned channel, whether energy that exceeds an energy threshold is detected on the scanned channel. Moreover, the method includes determining a first quantitative measure based on a first plurality scanned channels having energy that exceeds the energy threshold, and comparing the first quantitative measure to at least a first jamming signal detection threshold. Additionally, the method includes indicating, on the communication device, presence of a jamming signal when the first quantitative measure satisfies the at least a first jamming signal detection threshold.

A portable communication device (100) is provided with first transceiver circuitry (104) for sending and receiving signals on a first communication path and second transceiver circuitry (116) for sending and receiving signals on a second communication path. The portable communication device (100) also includes a controller (112) coupled to the first transceiver circuitry (104) and the second transceiver circuitry (116) for providing a deregistration message to the second transceiver circuitry (116) for transmission therefrom in response to determining that the portable communication device (100) is within signal coverage of the first communication path, activating the first transceiver circuitry (104) to send and receive signals on the first communication path, deactivating the second transceiver circuitry (116), and thereafter activating the second transceiver circuitry (116) at times separated by a predetermined time interval to monitor at least one housekeeping channel of the second communication path.

A circuit (2) and method employing logic circuitry (30) and memory (40) identifies a reverse link limited channel (80). The logic circuitry (30) identifies a reverse link limited channel based on determining that an access probe failure occurred on a channel (64). The logic circuitry (30) causes the memory to store reverse link limited channel data (80) in response to the logic circuitry (30) determining that the access probe failure occurred. The reverse link limited channel data (80), for example, may be a channel identification associated with the channel (64), a base station identification associated with the channel (64), a location identification of the circuit (2) or any data suitable for identifying and adapting dynamically to the reverse link limited channel.
摘要:
Methods in communications devices and networks for reducing an infrastructure registration race condition. In one embodiment, a communications device transmits (310) a first network connection request is a first network, and after waiting a specified time interval, the communication device transmits (320) another network connection request to the first network. The communications device may determine the time interval, or it may be received (302) from the network. Alternatively, a time stamp or some other indicium is applied to the connection requests transmitted by the communications device so that a home location register or other entity may determine the order in which the requests were transmitted.
摘要:
A method and system for selecting a communication network by a wireless communication device (106) includes receiving (310) an identification parameter at the wireless communication device from a communication network which identifies the communication network. Next, the method compares (312) the identification parameter with a list at the wireless communication device to determine (314) service information. The service information identifies the services supported by the communication network. The method further includes comparing (316) the service information with a service-related datum at the wireless communication device that indicates the services desired by the wireless communication device. Lastly, the method includes selecting (318) the communication network for accessing a requested service if the service information matches the service-related datum.
摘要:
A method (200) in a CDMA terminal device for acquiring a system identified in an enhanced preferred roaming list (enhanced PRL), with at least one entry containing a mobile country code, includes the steps of obtaining (210) system identifiers from SYNCH channels on a scan list, determining (220) if the system identifiers match entries on the enhanced PRL, and inserting (226) channel information items on a first list if the system identifiers do not match entries on the enhanced PRL. If all channels on the scan list have been scanned without any system identifiers matching entries on the enhanced PRL, the method obtains (246) mobile country codes using channel information items from the first list, determines (250) if the mobile country codes match entries on the enhanced PRL, and camps (283) on a system if its mobile country code matches an entry on the enhanced PRL.
摘要:
A method for controlling diversity receivers in a wireless communication device includes the steps of: determining if the wireless communication device is experiencing poor coverage (220), using a first receiver and a second receiver for diversity (230) if the wireless communication device is experiencing poor coverage, and using the second receiver for scanning (240) if the wireless communication device is not experiencing poor coverage. Thus, diversity can be used when needed to improve reception. Both receivers, however, can be used in a non-diversity mode to reduce current drain or to speed up channel acquisition when coverage is not poor.

A method in a wireless communications device for allocating neighbor signals to a candidate set based on signal allocation criteria includes dynamically changing the signal allocation criteria based on at least one of a number of signals in an active signal set and on a signal quality of a strongest of signal in the active signal set. In one embodiment the signal allocation criteria is the length of an IIR filter.
