Abstract:
A power detector measures RF power delivered into a first load of uncertain impedance. A reference power meter measures power of a reference signal to a second load of known impedance. The reference power meter measures voltage across the second load; measures a current through the second load; and multiplies the measured voltage by the measured current to generate a reference power signal proportional to power delivered to the second load. A measurement power meter measures power of a signal to the first load. The measurement power meter measures voltage across the first load; measures current through the first load; and multiplies the measured voltage by the measured current to generate a measured power signal proportional to power delivered to the first load. The power detector includes a processor to calculate power delivered to the second load, and to generate a power delivered to the first load.

Abstract:
The system provides a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver in a vehicle including a radio frequency (RF) receiving circuit for receiving GNSS signals from a plurality of GNSS satellites orbiting Earth at different elevations, and a processor. The processor is configured to calculate a first signal to noise ratio (SNR) for a first GNSS satellite, calculate a second SNR for a second GNSS satellite, monitor a relative change in the first SNR with respect to the second SNR over time, determine that the GNSS receiver has entered a parking garage based on the relative change in the first SNR with respect to the second SNR, in response to this determination, restrict a positioning algorithm to estimate the position of the vehicle upon the vehicle exiting the parking garage to be within a specified range of a known position of an entrance of the parking garage, and execute the restricted positioning algorithm to estimate a position of the GNSS receiver based on the received GNSS signals.
Abstract:
A method for power management of a wireless device is described. The method comprises supplying a first voltage level to a volatile storage device during a period when the processor is in an operating state; supplying a second voltage level, lower that the first voltage level, to the storage device for retaining data during a period when the processor is in a reduced power state, and determining a value of the second voltage level. The second voltage level is determined by performing a self-test of the storage device to find a minimum second voltage level that gives a number of data errors below a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
A controller (322) for determining the location of speakers (302, 304,...) in a system of speakers configured to play out audio signals received according to a wireless communications protocol. The controller configured is to, for each speaker of the system of speakers, transmit a signal to that speaker comprising an indication of a playout time for playing out an identification sound signal comprising the identification data of that speaker. The controller is configured to receive data indicative of a played out identification sound signal from each speaker as received at least two listening locations (L 1 , L 2 , L 3 , L 4 ), wherein relative positional information about the at least two listening locations is known. For each of the at least two listening locations, the controller determines the locations of the speakers of the speaker system relative to the position of one of the at least two listening locations.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses of the invention are directed to correcting errors caused by frequency offsets between clocks in a communication system, for example SFO. According to certain aspects, embodiments of the invention provide for resampling data samples corresponding to a received data symbol immediately prior to performing an FFT. According to certain additional aspects, the resampler operates only on the data samples of a cyclic data block with a known (and minimized) sample timing error to correct.

Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to wireless networking, and more particularly to methods and apparatuses for increasing throughput of wireless devices and systems in a wireless network. The invention includes transmitting one or more signaling frames from one wireless device in the wireless network to other wireless devices (STAs) in the wireless network. The one or more signaling frames contain information concerning channel allocation for the transmission and requirement for the acknowledgement frames between the transmitting wireless device and the receiving wireless devices. This invention allows wireless devices not allocated the transmission medium to sleep during a transmission burst and different wireless devices allocated the transmission medium to be scheduled in different data transmission bursts.
