Abstract:
Techniques for performing finger merge protection (FMP) using polling. Whenever a command to adjust the timing of a designated finger is received, other fingers "on the same channel" (i.e., those for which merge protection is sought) are polled for permission to apply the command. The designated finger sets a poll request and provides other pertinent information to an FMP storage unit. Thereafter, each of the other fingers on the same channel determines whether or not applying the command would result in that finger merging with the designated finger. Merging may be detected if the difference between the timing (or offsets) of the two fingers is less than a specified offset spacing. Any finger on the same channel may disallow the command if merging is detected. The designated finger would then adjust its timing if the command is not disallowed by any of the fingers on the same channel.
Abstract:
Techniques for polling fingers on a channel (which are fingers for which symbols are to be combined) to determine the last finger on the channel. As each finger is polled, the polled finger compares its state information with the state information for the channel to determine whether or not it is the last finger on the channel. If the polled finger is deemed as the last finger then, (1) the channel state information is updated with the polled finger state information, and (2) the symbols provided by the polled finger may be marked as being ready for subsequent processing. This avoids buffering the demodulated symbols for a duration time that is longer than the largest expacted difference between the earliest and the latest arriving mutipath components.
Abstract:
A radiotelephone comprises both a Mobile Station Modem, a Bluetooth radio frequency unit, an interface between them and other supporting hardware/software, allowing utilization by a subscriber to implement a truly Universal remote control device. An embodiment of the present invention includes an interface for connecting a mobile station modem to a radio frequency unit equipped for transmitting and receiving a frequency hopped signal, a serial bus interface operably connected between the Mobile Station Modem and the Bluetooth radio frequency unit including a plurality of bi-directional serial data connections. The preferred embodiment further includes a bi-directional data connection for transmitting data for transmission connected between the Mobile Station Modem and the Bluetooth radio frequency unit and a synchronous detector and transmit enabling serial data connection for receiving an enabling indication valid data at said radio frequency unit from the Mobile Station Modem.
