Abstract: A method of the present invention includes the steps of identifying (801) a first frequency allocation and a second frequency allocation and programming a radio frequency device (401, 701, 901) to at least one of: a) simultaneously receive a first signal within the first frequency allocation and a second signal within the second frequency allocation; and b) simultaneously transmit a first signal within the first frequency allocation and a second signal within the second frequency allocation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for authentication of a client device (256) utilizing remote multiple access to a server device (200) that includes a first authentication application unit (420), positioned within the client device, and a second authentication application unit (408) positioned in the server device. The first authentication application unit transmits a first synchronization command (500) to the server device over the packet data network (424), and the second authentication application unit generates a user unit code and transmits (502) the generated user unit code to the client device over the packet data network in response to the first synchronization command. The first authentication application unit and the second authentication application unit store the generated user unit code, and the server device transmits a message (508) that includes a control command and the user unit code stored in the second authentication application unit to the client device over the packet data network.

Abstract: A method of making a geographic location determination via a cellular telephone in signal communication with a base station. The mobile station first attempts to detect a position location signal. Upon determining that the position location signal is insufficient to use in a position location calculation, the mobile station deactivates at least a portion of a receiver. The mobile station receives a cellular communication signal and measures a signal quality of the cellular communication signal. Responsive to the signal quality improving by a predetermined amount, the mobile station reactivates the receiver portion and re-attempts to detect the position location signal.

Abstract: A satellite positioning system enabled mobile station and method therefor having a satellite positioning system signal reception interface, for example a GPS receiver, an information processor coupled to the satellite positioning system signal reception interface, the information processor controlling the satellite positioning system signal reception interface for receiving satellite positioning system signals upon which mobile station positioning may be determined based upon a satellite positioning system based position fix generation rate instruction.

Abstract: A method of reducing interference within a cellular system (10) by partitioning a designated frequency spectrum within a service coverage area (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17) into a first and at least second spectrum inclusive of the designated frequency spectrum and each with an associated power level. Assignment of communication units to a spectrum and power level are based upon distance from the base site (as determined through signal strength measurements). The spectral content of spectra in adjacent service coverage areas is adjusted to include non-coincidental frequencies.

Abstract: A spread-spectrum noise canceller (390) is provided for cancelling user code noise from a spread-spectrum communication channel. The spread-spectrum noise canceller (390) includes a receiver for receiving a spread-spectrum signal (302) including a first and at least a second signal as well as a noise canceller (390) operatively coupled to the receiver for reducing spread-spectrum noise in the first received signal by substantially processing the at least second received signal out of the received spread-spectrum signal (302).In addition, a method is provided which cancels user code noise from a spread-spectrum communication channel. The method includes receiving a spread-spectrum signal (302) including a first and at least a second signal and subsequently reducing spread-spectrum noise in the first received signal by substantially processing the at least second received signal out of the received spread-spectrum signal (302).
