Patent number: 8965439Abstract: A method and system for obtaining an available white space channel for wireless communication using a white space device (WSD) are described. The WSD scans signals of TV transmitters, determines the received signal strength (RSSI) for those signals, and records TV data, including TV designations and corresponding RSSIs, for signals that exceed a predetermined threshold. The WSD sends TV data for at least three TV transmitters to an enhanced TV white space database (EnTVDB). The EnTVDB uses the TV data and information in its database to determine the geo-coordinates of the WSD. The EnTVDB uses the geo-coordinates of the WSD to identify available white space. The EnTVDB sends at least one channel of available white space to the white space device for its wireless communication.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: Tevfik Yucek

Patent number: 8831155Abstract: A method of identifying radar in a wireless device includes detecting an event corresponding to receipt of a signal by the wireless device. The event can include an analog to digital converter (ADC) saturation, a radio frequency (RF) saturation, and/or an ADC power high condition. Notably, the gain change in the wireless device is delayed for a first predetermined time period. Data preceding the event for the first predetermined time period can be buffered. A first low-resolution fast Fourier transform (FFT), wherein low-resolution FFTs are referred to as short FFTs, can be performed with the buffered data. The first short FFT can be processed. When results of the processing indicate the signal is radar, the radar can then be identified.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Tevfik Yucek, Kai Shi, Susinder Rajan Gulasekaran, Richard Melvin Mosko, Jr.

Patent number: 8774858Abstract: System and method for detecting radio frequency (RF) saturation in a wireless device configured to simultaneously receive first signals according to a first wireless protocol and second signals according to a second wireless protocol. Signals having components of both the first and second signals may be received at a shared gain element. A level of saturation of the shared gain element may be determined. A current definition of a saturation event may be determined. A gain adjustment value may be determined based on the level of saturation and the current definition of a saturation event. A gain value of the shared gain element may be adjusted by the determined gain adjustment value.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2011Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Tevfik Yucek, Sundar G.

Publication number: 20140098744Abstract: A method and system are disclosed that allow for the control of transmission characteristics associated with an exchange of protocol data units (PDUs) between a first wireless device and a second wireless device. The first wireless device determines a number of transmission conditions that may include, for example, a maximum duration of time that the first wireless device can spend receiving or transmitting each PDU. The first wireless device embeds the transmission conditions into a frame, and transmits the frame to the second wireless device. The second wireless device may selectively modify a size of the PDUs in response to the maximum duration of time so that the first wireless device can receive each of the PDUs in less than the maximum duration of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2012Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Tevfik YUCEK, Vincent Knowles JONES, IV, Simone MERLIN

Patent number: 8605695Abstract: A signal analysis mechanism for processing and classifying an RF signal received at a WLAN device. A plurality of spectral data captures comprising time-frequency data and receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) data associated with the RF signal received at the WLAN device are generated. The time-frequency and RSSI data of each of the plurality of spectral data captures is processed to determine whether each spectral data capture is a narrowband signal capture. If the plurality of spectral data captures are narrowband signal captures, a narrowband interference signal type associated with the received RF signal is determined based, at least in part, on a plurality of parameters associated with the narrowband signal captures.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2011Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Tevfik Yucek, Paul Petrus, Sundar G.
