    Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for tracking the length of a sleep period within a mobile station using a sleep clock to precisely calibrate portions of the sleep period. The sleep period subdivided into a sequence of sub-periods each of known duration wherein the durations of the sub-periods are not necessarily integer multiples of cycles of the sleep clock. Elapsed time is tracked within each individual sub-period of the sleep period using an integer sleep counter which tracks whole cycles of the sleep clock. Then any remaining fractional portions of the cycles of the sleep mode clock not accounted for by the integer sleep counter are tracked using a fractional sleep counter. The fractional sleep coutner accumulates remaining fractional portions of sleep mode cycles from one sub-period to the next. A method and apparatus is also described for estimating frequency drift with a sleep clock signal used during a slotted paging mode of operation of a wireless mobile station. An initial frequency of the sleep clock signal is determined following power-up of the mobile station. A fixed frequency drift compensation factor representative of a difference between the initial frequency of the sleep clock signal and a pre-determined nominal frequency is then determined. A dynamic frequency error compensation factor representative of a difference between the initial frequency and a current frequency of the slow clock signal is estimated. Then, throughout the slotted mode of operation, new values for the dynamic frequency compensation factor are iteratively determined by using a loop filter.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques for controlling transmission power involve receiving a first to second channel power ratio, receiving a first to second channel power ratio, adjusting the power ratio if a combined power of a plurality of channels exceeds a threshold, the channels including the first and second channels, and computing gain of the first channel as a function of the power ratio. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

    Abstract: A novel and improved method and apparatus for frequency tracking is describe d. Two main sources of error that contribute to the frequency difference betwee n locally generated carriers and those used to modulate received signals inclu de frequency offset between the two timing sources and doppler effects due to relative movement between the sources. The present invention provides a tracking mechanism for removing the effects of error due to frequency offset as well as compensation for frequency error due to doppler in a plurality of multipath signals. Each finger (700a..700n) of a RAKE receiver utilizing the present invention will compute a frequency error for that finger. The weight ed average of all of these frequency errors is calculated (710) and filtered (720) to provide a control signal for varying the frequency of IF and RF frequency synthesizers, accounting for the common frequency offset seen at each finger. Additionally, each finger is equipped with a rotator (706a...706n) for providing frequency adjustment specific to that finger. Th e frequency of each finger is adjusted through feedback of the frequency error finger.
