Abstract:
A technique for performing AGC and DC compensation in a receiver. The receiver comprises an energy estimator for generating an estimate of the level of a received signal; an RF device to apply gain to the received signal; an AGC for controlling the RF device gain based on the energy estimation; a first DC compensation loop for finely adjusting the DC component of the received signal in fast or slow tracking mode (FTM or STM); and a second DC compensation loop for coarsely adjusting the DC component of the received signal. Three modes of AGC operations: In Acquisition, iterations of FTM fine DC adjustment, short energy estimation, and RF device gain adjustment are performed during signal timing detection. In Connected, long energy estimation, RF device gain adjustment, and STM fine and coarse DC adjustments are performed during superframe preamble. In Sleep, FTM fine DC adjustment, short energy estimation, and RF device gain adjustment are performed during superframe preamble.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for control of an idle mode in a wireless device. In particular, the idle mode duty cycle of a preamble transmission by an access point (AP), as an example, is variably or adaptively set in response to determined conditions of the wireless neighborhood. The conditions determined include the whether or not other wireless devices are present in the vicinity of sensing wireless device, as well as the state of those devices present, such as whether they are in an idle mod or an active mode.
Abstract:
método e aparelho para facilitar o suporte para coexistência multi-rádio. um método de comunicação sem fio inclui a determinação do desvio de um quadro entre as comunicações de um primeiro recurso de comunicação (por exemplom uma rádio lte) e comunicações de um segundo recurso de comunicação (por exemplom um bluetooth ou rádio wlan). o método também inclui a determinação das configurações de particição de tempo em potencial para as comunicações do segundo recurso de comunicação. uma configuração de partição de tempo é selecionada a partir das configuraçãoes de partição de tempo em potencial determinadas, para reduzir a degradação do primeiro recurso de comunicação devido às partições de tempo em conflito entre o primeiro recurso de comunicação e o segundo recurso de comunicação com base no desvio de quadro determinado. a seleção pode ser baseada no desvio de quadro determinado.

Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for controlling sleep mode in a wireless device are disclosed. The sleep mode is controlled using low power detection of RF beacon signals of known frequencies to reduce power consumption of the wireless device during sleep modes. Detection is achieved by using passive or low power elements in a receive chain that filters received signals allowing beacon signals of particular frequencies to pass,which are accumulated with passive or low power circuit elements requiring no external power source. The accumulated energy is compared to a threshold to determine the presence of the beacon with sleep circuitry. When the beacon is detected, the full RF receiver is triggered to wake up. Use of low power elements and passive elements, affords a beneficial increase in power savings for the wireless device, which is particularly helpful in wireless access points or relay stations that have an alternative power sourcing such as battery or solar power.
