Abstract: A low overhead voice activity detection technique for a noise-canceling bioacoustic sensor consumes, as inputs, signals generated by a body microphone and an environment microphone and produces, as an output based on these inputs, an indication of whether voice activity is present. The technique applies a novel dual ANC configuration that produces, in addition to the normal noise reduction function, a signal composed of environmental sounds with body sounds attenuated and a signal composed of body sounds projected into the acoustic environment, primarily speech sounds. The technique then applies to these derived signals an algorithm based on the scientific observation that speech intensity, within limits, rises and falls to match environmental sound intensity to provide voice activity detection.

Abstract: A sensor calibration method and system dynamically compute a bias offset which is subtracted from field strength readings generated by a sensor to correct them. The three-dimensional space around a sensor is seeded with orientation targets. As the sensor is rotated to different orientations, field strength readings are generated by the sensor and assigned to different targets based on estimated proximity. Once occupancy of targets conforms to a first state of occupancy, a coarse bias offset is computed for the sensor using readings from occupied targets. Once occupancy of targets conforms to a second state of occupancy, a refined bias offset is computed for the sensor using readings from occupied targets. Multiple sensors may be calibrated concurrently. Moreover, a user interface provides a real-time graphic showing the location and occupancy status of individual targets and highlighting the individual target best aligned with a most recent corrected sensor reading.

Abstract: A mobile station (MS) receives a first reception signal using a first downlink component carrier (DCC) and receives a second reception signal using the second DCC. The first reception signal includes a synchronization signal, a first physical channel, and a first reference signal. The first physical channel and the first reference signal are obtained using a first cell identity. The second reception signal includes a second physical channel and a second reference signal. The second physical channel and the second reference signal are obtained using a second cell identity. The MS acquires information relating the second cell identity, the information being carried by the first reception signal. The MS extracts the information from the first reception signal carried after the mobile station establishes connection in a first cell via a cell search using the synchronization signal. The second DCC is used simultaneously with the first DCC.
