Patent number: 9391665Abstract: Embodiments provide a method and apparatus for performing time division duplex communication, such as may be performed over a wireless communications network. In the embodiments a first circuit pathway is used to transmit a first radio frequency signal in a transmission mode and a second circuit pathway is used to receive a second radio frequency signal in a reception mode. In the reception mode, the first radio frequency signal is switched to an alternate circuit pathway. This may be performed by a radio frequency integrated circuit or by other control circuitry. Switching to an alternate circuit pathway reduces leakage of the first radio frequency signal into the second radio frequency signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2014Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Lauri Niskanen, Seppo Rousu, Juha Valtanen

Publication number: 20150249991Abstract: This document discloses a solution where a network element of a cellular communication system detects appearance of a terminal device in the cellular communication system. In connection with registering the terminal device in the cellular communication system, the network element determines that a native frequency band of the terminal device is a sub-band of an operating frequency band of the cellular communication system and, then, allocates to the terminal device frequency resources from the native frequency band of the terminal device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2015Publication date: September 3, 2015Applicant: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Seppo ROUSU, Ville VINTOLA
