Abstract:
A system for efficient hub switching of mobile network devices is disclosed. The system includes a peripheral device (PD), a first control hub, and a second control hub. The PD includes a wireless long range transceiver and a microcontroller, and is controlled wirelessly by the first control hub. The first control hub and second network hub each have a wireless long range transceiver, hardware processors, and hardware memory that stores system operation information. The system operation information includes instructions for controlling the PD. Additionally, the system operation information includes instructions for listening for a response from the PD. The listening instructions include an expected response timeframe after the control instructions are sent. The system operation information further includes instructions for requesting the second control hub control the PD. Furthermore, the system operation information includes instructions for taking over control of the PD.
Abstract:
A digital radio receiver 54 is adapted to receive radio signals which are modulated using continuous phase modulation. The receiver comprises means for receiving an analogue radio signal having a carrier frequency, a plurality of correlators 6, 8 each corresponding to a different bit sequence which share a common estimator 4 for estimating a frequency offset between said carrier frequency and a nominal carrier frequency, and means 12 for determining which of said correlators 6, 8 produces a desired output signal.
Abstract:
A digital radio receiver is adapted to receive radio signals modulated using continuous phase modulation. The receiver includes components for receiving analogue radio signals having various carrier frequencies and a plurality of correlators corresponding to different bit sequences. Each of the plurality of correlators share a common estimator for estimating a frequency offset between the radio signals carrier frequencies and nominal carrier frequencies. The receiver further includes components allowing the estimator to determine which of the correlators produce the most optimal output signal.
