Abstract:
A receiver has a channel scan mode of operation and a communication mode of operation. In the channel mode of operation, the passband of a filter is narrowed relative to the passband of the filter in the communication mode. According to another aspect of the circuit, a local oscillator is selectively phase locked to an internal clock during channel scanning and locked to the incoming signal during a communication mode operation.
Abstract:
A receiver (100) has a channel scan mode of operation and a communication mode of operation. In the channel mode of operation, the passband of a filter (145, 144) is narrowed relative to the passband of the filter in the communication mode. According to another aspect of the circuit, a local oscillator (112, 142, 157) is selectively phase locked to an internal clock (137) during channel scanning and locked to the incoming signal during a communication mode operation.
Abstract:
2103662 9312583 PCTABS00023 A cellular phone (100) having a fixed calling capacity limiting use of phone to emergency situations. Two call sequences are stored in memory permitting telephonic communication with only the two fixed sites associated with the two call sequences. Telephonic communication must be effectuated with a first fixed site, and then terminated, prior to effectuation of telephonic communication with a second fixed site. Telephonic communication with a second fixed site is permitted during a predetermined, limited time period.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for transferring segmented memory units (756, 764) determines a need for memory transfer and searches a memory unit segment by segment until a valid data record is found. This valid data record is conveyed to another memory unit via the asynchronous mode. If a valid data record is not found within a predetermined amount of time, a message identifying the memory segment last searched is conveyed. If no remaining valid data records are found, a message with no information is conveyed. Priority is given to asynchronous messages.
Abstract:
A method and system for optimizing a Quality of Service (QoS) for an application is provided. The method comprises generating (205) a dynamic database (110 or 150) of statistical information regarding at least one of the applications and one or more communication network (115, 120 and 125). Further, the method comprises selecting (210) the application to operate on the communication network. The dynamic database is then analyzed (215) to determine at least one network configuration based on desired QoS requirement. Based on the analysis of at least one network configuration a connection (220) is made to the requested application.

Abstract:
A method for a communication device to search for service from an alternate public land mobile network when a public land mobile network rejects a registration message from the communication device includes a first step of having the device roam to a visited public land mobile network (PLMN). A next step includes sending a registration message to the PLMN. A next step includes rejecting the registration message by the PLMN. This rejection can include ignoring the registration or sending an error message back to the device. A next step then includes searching for service from an alternate public land mobile network.
Abstract:
A method in a wireless communications device, including selecting (210) a cell, and after selection, configuring (230) the wireless communications device for a paging channel of a cell camped on previously using system information obtained for the cell camped on previously whether or not the selected cell is the same as the cell camped on previously. In some embodiments, updated system information is obtained for the selected cell if the selected cell is the same as the cell camped on previously, and the paging channel is reconfigured (250) based upon any updated system information obtained for the selected cell. In other embodiments, system information is obtained for the selected cell while the wireless communications device is configured for the paging channel of the cell camped on previously.
Abstract:
A method for a radiotelephone to scan for a higher priority (including home) public land mobile network (PLMN) without searching in all possible RATs and frequencies includes a first step of establishing (12) an inclusive list of all frequencies in all radio access technologies (RATs) in use by the higher priority or home public land mobile network. A next step includes camping (20) the radiotelephone on the higher priority or home PLMN. A next step includes obtaining (24) the inclusive list from the establishing step by the camped radiotelephone from the higher priority or home PLMN. Afterwards, when the radiotelephone roams to a lower priority visited PLMN, it can begin (32) scanning for the home (and higher priority) PLMN using only those frequencies from the inclusive list, thereby saving battery power.
