    Abstract: An audio receiver for a converged portable radio (LMR/LTE radio) is provided with improved audio management. The converged device is managed by two different processors (BP/AP) and includes a selectable user setting for selecting either an LMR audio mode or an LTE audio mode (or both). Power up timing differences between the two processors is managed through a smart audio switch mechanism which includes AP control logic for selectively enabling and disabling an AP audio switch in response to operational status of both (AP/BP) processors during power up. The smart audio switch system further includes BP control logic for selectively enabling and disabling a BP audio switch in response to the operational status of the processors.

  • Patent number: 11894957
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of full duplex compensation with a self interference noise calculator. The self-interference noise calculator may be coupled to antennas of a wireless device and configured to generate adjusted signals that compensate self-interference. The self-interference noise calculator may include a network of processing elements configured to combine transmission signals into sets of intermediate results. Each set of intermediate results may be summed in the self-interference noise calculator to generate a corresponding adjusted signal. The adjusted signal is received by a corresponding wireless receiver to compensate for the self-interference noise generated by a wireless transmitter transmitting on the same frequency band as the wireless receiver is receiving.
