Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for calibrating the frequency of a local oscillator in wireless communications. SOLUTION: According to a disclosed embodiment, a receiver comprising a digital rotator in combination with a frequency error discriminator in a digital automatic frequency control loop is used to obtain accurate digital values used to calibrate a local oscillation frequency. A frequency error in the oscillation frequency of a local frequency generation loop causes a change in the frequency of a baseband input signal. The change in the baseband input signal frequency related to the frequency error in the local frequency generation loop can be detected as a phase rotation by the frequency error discriminator. By using the digital automatic frequency control loop, the frequency error introduced by local frequency generation is determined with accuracy. The frequency error and corresponding control bits are entered into a calibration table. The calibration table may be used to adjust the local oscillation frequency for temperature changes, pilot searching, and quick paging. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate the effective use of low frequency low power clocks for a sleep mode of a wireless communication device, even when relatively large slot cycles are defined within a slotted paging system. SOLUTION: Techniques may include reducing power in the wireless communication device for a first sleep period and then increasing power in the wireless communication device for an intermediate wake period after the first sleep period to estimate an error of the sleep clock. The method may further include reducing power in the wireless communication device for a second sleep period after the intermediate wake period. The intermediate wake mode implemented during the intermediate period can be used to estimate the error of the sleep clock without performing one or more tasks associated with an awake mode, such as demodulation.

The apparatus may inform the UE regarding the duration of the uplink message through a random-access response message.
Abstract:
A graphics engine includes a setup unit and a rendering unit. The setup unit computes coefficients A, B, and C used for interpolating an attribute .nu. of a triangle to be rendered for a graphics image. The setup unit then derives compressed coefficients Ã, ~B, and ~C based on the coefficients A, B, and C. The compressed coefficients have a fixed-point format with R integer bits left of a binary point and T fractional bits right of the binary point, where R>1 and T>=0. R is selected based on the number of bits used for attribute .nu., T is selected based on the screen dimension, and R+T is much less than the number of bits used to represent the coefficients A, B, and C. The rendering unit performs interpolation for the attribute v using the compressed coefficients Ã, ~B, and ~C, and may be implemented with a simple (R+T)-bit non-saturating accumulator.
