Abstract: A system includes a repeater and a data processor. The repeater is for relaying data between a base station and a handset. The repeater is configured to receive data from a plurality of cells in a network and relay at least a portion of the received data to a handset on a first channel. The data processor is coupled to the repeater. The data processor is configured to extract, from the received data, network information characterizing different channels in a network being utilized by neighbor cells. The data processor is configured to determine, from a set of supported channels that the repeater is capable of utilizing for relaying data and using the extracted network information, a set of monitor channels. The repeater is configured to monitor a channel characteristic of channels contained in the set of monitor channels. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a RFIC master are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include configuring an on-chip programmable device that may function as a master on a bus that has at least one device interface, for example, RFIC interface, coupled to the bus. The on-chip programmable device may generate at least one signal to control at least one device coupled to at least one device interface. The on-chip programmable device may communicate the generated signal via the bus upon receiving an input timer signal and may be configured by writing at least one event data and an index-sample data to the on-chip programmable device. The index-sample data may comprise at least a count value and an event data index. When the count value equals a value of the timer signal, event data may be fetched and executed starting with the one specified by the event data index.
