    Abstract: A method and device for managing a reference oscillator within a wireless device is presented. The method includes selecting refer-ence oscillator parameters associated with the lowest reference oscillator er-ror, where the selection is based upon reference oscillator parameters de-rived using different technologies within a wireless device, acquiring a satellite based upon the selected reference parameters, determining the qual-ity of the satellite-based position fix, and updating the reference oscillator parameters based upon the quality of the satellite-based position fix. The wireless device includes a wireless communications system, a satellite posi-tioning system (SPS) receiver, a reference oscillator connected to the wire-less communications system and SPS receiver, and a mobile controller con-nected to the reference oscillator, SPS, and wireless communications sys-tem, and a memory connected to the mobile controller, where the memory stores a reference oscillator parameter table and instructions causing the mobile controller to execute the aforementioned method.

    Abstract: A forward link repeater delay watermarking (FLRDWM) system and method that enable accurate position location of mobile stations in areas where repeaters are present by watermarking repeated signals with repeater information. A repeater watermarks a forward link signal with a (unique or non-unique) time delay modulation waveform watermark every time a signal passes through the repeater. A mobile station detects and/or identifies the time delay watermark on the forward link signal to determine repeater information that aids the network position determination entity or mobile station position location system in determining position location using AFLT and/or A-GPS systems. A forward link time delay watermarking system can be implemented to achieve low impact on FL and AFLT performance, favorable detection and identification probabilities, and short time-to-detect/identify.

    Abstract: Techniques to rotate the phase of a received signal to compensate for phase change or discontinuity introduced by circuit elements located directly in the receive signal path. One or more control signals are received, with each control signal being provided to adjust a particular characteristic of one or more circuit elements associated with the receive signal path. A phase rotation corresponding to an operating state defined by the control signals is then determined, and the phase of the received signal is rotated by an amount related to the determined phase rotation. In some designs, the phase rotation is performed on digitized inphase I IN and quadrature Q IN samples to generate phase rotated I ROT and Q ROT samples. The phase rotation can be performed by a complex multiply (after DC offset compensation) and, for ease of implementation, can be performed digitally in discrete increments (e.g., 90° increments).

    Abstract: Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a receiver and/or other like device to determine an SPS time using SPS signals based on a correlation process. A verification process may be performed, for example, that verifies a maximum peak in comparison with other peak information resulting from the correlation process, for example, by considering a ratio of a maximum peak to a next maximum peak. A time-setting algorithm may be selected, for example, based, at least in part, on a time uncertainty and/or on a type of demodulation performed on the SPS signal. The time-setting algorithm may operatively control one or both of the correlation and/verification processes in a desired manner given the time uncertainty and/or type/mode of demodulation performed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for code phase processing in a wireless communication device are described herein. A wireless device performs code phase search on a pseudo random code spread signal received over a wireless channel. A correlator correlates the received signal with a plurality of code phases for each of a plurality of frequency hypotheses. A maximum peak and a second peak are determined from the correlation results. Cross correlation processing is performed on the maximum peak and the maximum peak may be discarded in favor of the second peak for position processing, based on the results of the cross correlation.
