Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a digital demodulator including an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit with a self-adapting target to provide optimum performance under all signal conditions.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for communicating in a millimeter wave (MMWAVE) wireless personal area network (WPAN) system using a reliable low-rate omni-directional communications mode implemented as TX-RX space scanning using directional antennas; and using a high-rate directional communications mode with beamformed directional antennas.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, comprising at least one light emitting diode (LED) that is controlled by the RFID's logic and powered by the RFID's power harvesting circuit, wherein the RFID tag is capable of being interrogated by an RFID reader and reporting its unique identification number by RF backscatter and/or controlling the illumination state of the at least one LED.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a method, comprising enabling firewall bypass for open mobile alliance device management (OMA DM) server-initiated notifications in wireless networks by requiring that a certain OMA DM packet is captured by a modem associated with a OMA DM client and routed via a predetermined driver interface, wherein the OMA DM server initiates connection with the OMA DM client by sending a UDP packet to the OMA DM client inside a wireless device, and wherein the OMA DM packet is transferred over RF channel into a the modem, and through the wireless device OS's IP stack delivered to an application of the OMA DM client.
