  • Patent number: 12273941
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for a device that wants to be a central device when creating a connection in a communication network such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to advertise information associated with a connection window to solicit a connection with a scanning peer device. When the scanning peer device receives the information, it may enter a connection as a peripheral device with the advertising device at the advertised connection window, allowing the advertising device to become the central device. Disclosed are also techniques for a device that wants to be a central device to advertise information associated with a scan window of the device to solicit a directed advertisement event from a peer device during the advertised scan window. The peer device initially scans but may advertise during the scan window as advertised to enable the central device to create a connection where the peer device becomes a peripheral device.

  • Patent number: 12231927
    Abstract: Method for variable arbitrary resampling that allows a base station test system to correct for sampling frequency errors relative to the base station. An output time calculation module obtains the required output sample times depending on the resampling rate, which can be tuned as needed. An input sample counter module counts the last input sample loaded into a polyphase interpolator, which can calculate any of M interpolated samples between two consecutive input samples. The polyphase interpolator uses the integer part of the required output sample times to decide what interpolated samples to calculate. A sequencer module compares the calculated output times against the input sample count to control all the blocks of the variable arbitrary resampler and determine if the output of the polyphase interpolator is a valid sample. Valid samples are transferred to other subsystems, such as a digital-to-analog data converter or another signal processing module.
