Patent number: 9119205Abstract: The present application relates to of the communication field and discloses a method, device and system for implementing frequency point switch based on CR. The method comprises: determining, by a cognitive base station, a candidate working frequency point for UE deployed in a cognitive frequency band; then sending to the UE broadcast information which at least carries the candidate working frequency point and instructing the UE to switch from the working frequency point currently used thereby to the candidate working frequency point by way of a frequency point switching command.

Patent number: 9100231Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a hybrid approach for Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) Interference Cancellation (IC). In certain aspects, if the PDSCH information is known for a serving cell but not be known for interfering cell(s), a hybrid approach that involves using Codeword-level IC (CWIC) for the serving cell and using Symbol-level IC (SLIC) for the interfering cells may be used for better IC performance. The hybrid IC approach may start with a UE attempting to decode the serving cell PDSCH. If the decode is unsuccessful, the UE may perform CWIC for the serving cell followed by SLIC using the results of the CWIC stage. After the SLIC stage, the UE may attempt to decode the serving cell PDSCH again. The UE may perform multiple operations of this method until the serving cell PDSCH is successfully decoded or a maximum number of iterations is reached.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2012Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Taesang Yoo, Tao Luo, Hendrik Schoeneich, Myriam Rajih, Lu Zhao

Patent number: 9066368Abstract: Embodiments provide systems and methods for aligning the supply voltage signal applied to a power amplifier (PA) with the radio frequency (RF) output signal of the PA in a wireless device. The RF output signal is generated by applying a transmit signal to a transmit path of the wireless device. The supply voltage is generated by applying an envelope tracking (ET) signal, based on the transmit signal, to an envelope tracking (ET) path of the wireless device. Embodiments operate by estimating the delays of the ET path and the transmit path, and then controlling a relative delay between the transmit signal and the ET signal accordingly. In an embodiment, estimation of the delays of the ET path and the transmit path is done by correlating respective signals of each path.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2012Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Robert Lorenz, Sumant Ranganathan, Xinyu Yu, Sriraman Dakshinamurthy
