Patent number: 11690023Abstract: Methods and systems for mitigating interference between different transceivers in a portable communication device. An electronic control circuit is configured to quantify an electromagnetic isolation between a first transceiver of a portable communication and a second transceiver of the portable communication device based on a detected radio frequency power coupled to the first transceiver from radio frequency signals transmitted by the second transceiver. A mitigation action is selected from a plurality of mitigation actions based on a magnitude of the quantified electromagnetic isolation. The selected mitigation action is then applied to the second transceiver to adjust at least one radio frequency characteristic of the second transceiver.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Dennis A.

Patent number: 11683850Abstract: A BLUETOOTH reconnection method is used in a BLUETOOTH connection system that includes a first device and a second device. The method includes that the first device sends a BLUETOOTH Low Energy (BLE) advertising signal to the second device after a BLUETOOTH connection between the first device and the second device is disconnected. If the second device determines that the received BLE advertising signal is a first BLE advertising signal, the second device does not page the first device, and waits to receive a page packet sent by the first device. If the second device determines that the received BLE advertising signal is a second BLE advertising signal, the second device actively pages the first device, and the first device waits to receive a page packet sent by the second device.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2020Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Wei Ting Hsiao, Bin Peng, Liang Wang, Haw-Wei Shu

Patent number: 11671924Abstract: In connection with an RF communication system, exemplary aspects may involve a method and apparatus for use in a communication system in which a RF receiver may be detecting and processing a first signal in an RF channel. Thereafter, a second received signal may be detected, with the second received signal being assessed, by receiver circuitry, as stronger than the first received signal. In response to the assessment of the second received signal being stronger than the first received signal, the RF receiver circuitry may adjust the gain or signal amplification circuitry for continuing to process the second, stronger, received signal in place of the first, weaker, received signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Artur Tadeusz Burchard, Petr Kourzanov
