20110263270 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SHARING A SIGNAL RECEIVED BY AN ANTENNA - Described are a method, system, and mobile communication device for sharing a signal received by an antenna. A signal, such as a signal sent from a global positioning system, is received by the antenna. An amplifier is then used to generate an amplified signal. The amplifier is located an attenuation distance away from a noise source. The amplified signal is divided into a first divided signal and a second divided signal, which are respectively transmitted to first and second signal utilization modules. While being transmitted from the antenna to the first and second signal utilization modules, the signal suffers propagation losses. While locating the amplifier remote from the noise source decreases noise strength, which positively contributes to signal-to-noise ratio, it also increases propagation losses, which negatively contributes to signal-to-noise ratio. The method, system and mobile communication device are designed such that this positive contribution exceeds this negative contribution, resulting in an overall benefit to signal-to-noise ratio. Also beneficially, sharing the signal allows one antenna to be used for both signal utilization modules, lowering manufacturing costs and saving space in the mobile communication device. | 10-27-2011 |

20090310569 | System And Method For Balancing Communication Traffic Loading Between Adjacent Base Stations In A Mobile Communications Network - A wireless communication device stores a traffic indicator received from an adjacent base station. The device measures a received signal strength indicator, RSSI, from the adjacent base station. An adjusted signal strength indicator, RSSI-ADJ, for the adjacent base station is calculated as a function of the adjacent base station's RSSI and the stored traffic indicator. A traffic indicator is received from a current base station. A received signal strength indicator, RSSI, is measured for the current base station. An adjusted signal strength indicator, RSSI-ADJ, for the current base station is calculated from the current base station's RSSI and the received traffic indicator. The communication device roams from the current base station to the adjacent base station based on a comparison of the adjacent base station's RSSI-ADJ to the current base station's RSSI-ADJ. | 12-17-2009 |

20100040040 | WIRELESS DEVICE HAVING FAST-RECEIVE MODE FOR MEASURING RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH (RSSI) FOR HIGHER TIME DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS (TDMA) MULTISLOT CLASSES - A wireless communications device having a fast-receive mode for measuring received signal strength indication (RSSI) enables the device to handle higher time division multiple access (TDMA) multislot classes without requiring that the device include either a second receiver or a receiver with a more advanced and expensive phase-locked loop (PLL) design. The time to complete an RSSI measurement is reduced by initiating the sampling of signal strength before the radio transceiver is fully stabilized in the downlink mode. By initiating sampling before PLL stabilization is complete, the overall time to complete an RSSI measurement is reduced sufficiently to enable scheduling of an RSSI measurement in each GSM frame. | 02-18-2010 |

20130205176 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING FALSE DETECTION OF CONTROL INFORMATION - A control channel may be used to transmit control information, such as Downlink Control Information (DCI), to a mobile device from a network component, such as a base station or a base node. The mobile device may use a blind decoding scheme to detect DCIs. A DCI may be falsely detected by the mobile device. According to some embodiments, data that has been decoded by a blind decoder, from buffer data for a candidate control channel, is re-encoded. The re-encoded data is compared to buffer data for the control channel. The decoded data is treated as control information dependent on the comparison of the re-encoded data with the buffer data. In some embodiments, comparing the re-encoded data to the buffer data includes generating a metric as a function of a degree of similarity between the re-encoded data and the buffer data. The metric may be compared to a threshold. | 08-08-2013 |

20110255004 | HIGH DEFINITION FRAME RATE CONVERSION - An image interpolator for high-definition images is presented that utilizes a two or more level hierarchical decomposition for complexity reduction. At the lowest level, after a block-based motion estimator, a pixel-based motion vector selector and a motion vector-based halo reducer, an occlusion-based adaptive motion field interpolator provides preliminary motion vectors for higher resolution level. At the high resolution level, a new motion estimation refining based on the double consideration of eventual occlusion region and motion vector precision refines the preliminary motion vectors, and again a motion vector-based halo reduction re-corrects the refined motion vectors. A new motion compensated image interpolator with controllable features for multiple interpolated images is presented. A versatile post-processing configuration for remaining artifacts may also be included. | 10-20-2011 |
