Patent number: 9092334Abstract: In a Universal Serial Bus (USB) enumeration procedure, a USB Host questions a USB Device for its capabilities and chooses a set of capabilities that best fit. When the USB Device is enumerated, the USB Host may perform several time-consuming and power-consuming operations. However, when the USB Device is tightly or permanently coupled to the USB Host, part of the enumeration procedure may be redundant and can be eliminated. Accordingly, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for shortening enumeration of the USB Device tightly coupled to the USB Host are provided. The USB Host sends a request for a Device descriptor to the USB Device, receives a plurality of descriptors in a single transfer from the USB Device, and sets a configuration of the USB Device based on the received plurality of descriptors.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Liron Manor, Sergio Kolor, Yoram Rimoni

Patent number: 8352644Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for use in a USB device with multiple processors, allowing shared USB connectivity in the device. The disclosed apparatus and methods allow selective coupling of a first processor to a USB port of the device or to a USB hub operable to route a plurality of USB connections including connection of a second processor to the port. Providing selective coupling of the processors to the port by switching the coupling of the first processor and selectively powering the hub on and off for selective coupling of the second processor, thereby selectively enabling tethered networking such as wireless networking, affords increased power savings in the device. Furthermore, default coupling of the first processor to the port allows for USB battery charger detection, or direct connectivity to USB peripheral devices, as well as providing programming capability via the default coupling of the port to the first processor.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2010Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Igor Malamant, Raghavendar Bhavansikar, Sergio Kolor

Patent number: 8078768Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) device communicates with a USB host over a USB to remotely wake up the USB host over the USB when the USB host is in a low power (e.g. deep sleep) mode. The USB device performs an activity to wake up the USB host. The USB host performs a remote wake up process in response to detecting the activity by the USB device. The USB host performs a resume process in response to performing the remote wake up process by the USB host. The USB device wakes up in response to the USB host performing the resume process.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2008Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Liron Manor, Sergio Kolor, Yoram Rimoni, Igor Malamant, Dedy Lansky

Patent number: 8068842Abstract: In a mobile wireless telecommunications system, which includes base stations (30) of a first type operating over a first air interface, and base stations (32) of a second type operating over a second air interface, a method for reselection by a mobile station (40) camped on a cell associated with a first base station (30), which is of the first type, of a second base station (32), which is of the second type. The method includes receiving signals over the second air interface from the second base station (32) and evaluating a characteristic of the signals. Responsive to the characteristic, the second base station (32) is selected in place of the first base station (30), and the mobile station (40) camps on a cell associated with the second base station (32).Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2009Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Shlomo Nizri, Michael Vakulenko, Atai Levy, Ron Nevo, Sergio Kolor

Patent number: 7907574Abstract: A method for transmitting data in a code division multiple access (CDMA) communication network, consisting of allocating a common Walsh code to a group of transceivers, and allocating a respective, different long code to each transceiver in the group. The method further includes time-multiplexing transmission of the data to the transceivers in the group by applying the common Walsh code and the respective long code of each transceiver to data packets directed to the transceivers so as to form multiplexed data packets. The multiplexed data packets are transmitted in sequence over the network to the group of transceivers.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2004Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sergio Kolor, Gilad Bornstein

Patent number: 7733821Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a method and apparatus of communicating between at least one base station and a core network is claimed. Signaling messages and voice streams are transported using packet-switched protocols (IP). A CIC field (Circuit Identity Code) is used to identify at least one VoIP streams. The CIC field may be interpreted as a UDP port number for the voice over IP stream. Also, a synchronization source or contributing source filed of a RTP header may be used as the CIC field.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2003Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Sergio Kolor, Andrew Hunter, Michael Green, Nikhil Jain, Qiuzhen Zou

Patent number: 7406526Abstract: A method for transferring data, by establishing network links between a private and a public network. Each link is associated with a respective unique public-network-address. Each session of one or more data packets within the private network is allocated an extended-private-address, the private network being adapted to transfer each data packet in a respective session using at least part of the extended-private-address as an identifying private-network-address. For each session the extended-private-address is translated to an extended-public-address, which includes one of the unique public-network-addresses. The data packets of each session are conveyed between the private and public networks via the link associated with the public-network-address of the respective session, and are transmitted within the public network using at least part of the extended-public-address as an identifying public-network-address.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2001Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Inventors: Uri Benchetrit, Sergio Kolor, Boaz Bryger, Aviv Asulin

Patent number: 7359709Abstract: A method for performing a soft handoff, including establishing a first control channel via a network between a first BSC and a first BTS. The method also includes establishing a second control channel via the network between a second BSC and a second BTS. A call between a mobile station (MS) and the first BTS is established, and while the call continues an indication is sent to the first BSC that the MS has received a signal from the second BTS. In response to the indication, a trigger is conveyed from the first BSC to the second BTS, and, in response to receiving the trigger at the second BTS, further traffic associated with the call is directed between the MS, the second BTS, and the first BSC, without conveying the further traffic through the second BSC.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2005Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: QUALCOMM, IncorporatedInventors: Michael Green, Boaz E.
