Abstract:
A method and apparatus, locally inserts non-noise background audio information (104), such as music or other suitable information, as comfort audio information with other audio information (110), such as voice, to produce a combined audio signal (112) containing non-noise comfort audio. The combined audio signal (112) is transmitted over a communication channel such as wireline or wireless communication channel during a communication session or output locally over a speaker on a user device. The method and apparatus may locally insert non-noise background audio information (104) by selecting stored non-noise background audio information (104) from memory (102) local to a sending device (100) or selecting real time audio, such as an audio stream from a live broadcast as received by a radio, cable or television tuner.
Abstract:
A method in a radio communication device having a receiver receiving a wideband signal in the presence of narrowband blockers method in direct conversion and intermediate frequency RF receivers including determining power for signal distortion products (40), determining power for a desired signal and the distortion products (41), filtering the signal distortion products with a filter having a bandwidth of rejection, and dynamically adjusting a rejection property (43) as a function of the power for both the desired signal and the signal distortion products. In some embodiments, a determination is made whether a ratio of powers exceeds a threshold (45) as a condition for adjusting the rejection property.
Abstract:
A multi-mode wireless communications device ( 100 ) and methods therefor, including a first transceiver having a continuous reception mode receiver coupled to a first antenna ( 138 ) and a second transceiver having a second transmitter coupled to a second antenna ( 140 ). In one mode of operation, the continuous reception mode receiver receives an uncompressed downlink signal at the same time the other receiver receives a signal. In another mode of operation, the continuous reception mode receiver receives an uncompressed downlink signal at the same time a transmitter of the second transceiver transmits a signal. In another mode of operation, a continuous reception mode transmitter of the first transceiver transmits an uplink signal at the same time the other receiver receives a signal.

Abstract:
A method to reduce crossmodulation in a multimode radio communication device with a transmitter, a receiver, and a second receiver (400) that operates in a receiver channel bandwidth (402) includes a step of measuring a first signal strength in the receiver channel bandwidth (404), a second signal strength outside of the receiver channel bandwidth (406), and a power level of the transmitter. A next step (408) includes determining a signal-to-crossmodulation interference ratio (SCMIR). A next step (410) includes calculating a SCMIR threshold. A next step (412) includes comparing the ratio to the threshold. A next step (416,420) includes increasing the linearity of the receiver if the ratio is less than the threshold.
