Patent number: 12170537Abstract: A radio frequency, RF, receiver circuit that is configured to simultaneously monitor a two or more different RF frequencies. The RF receiver circuit uses a sub-sampler to sub-sample an RF signal that is at any of the monitored RF frequencies, and the sub-sampled signal is then demodulated and a digital code that was encoded in the RF signal is recovered. The RF receiver circuit may be particularly low power, in part owing to using the same sub-sampler for each of the two or more monitored RF frequencies, and not relying on superheterodyning. Furthermore, monitoring two or more different RF frequencies simultaneously means that signals received on the monitored RF frequencies may be acted on very quickly. These characteristics make the RF receiver circuit particularly suitable for use in low-power wake-up receivers, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wake-up receivers.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2023Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Philip Eugene Quinlan, Joana Rochelle Ortiz Maramba, Catherine Francisco Andaya, Erwin Paul Ramos Santiago, Vernon H.

Patent number: 12160287Abstract: Solutions pertaining to allocating antennas of a user equipment (UE) between connections using different RATs are proposed. A UE has a first connection to a first network and a second connection to a second network, each connection employing a respective radio access technology (RAT). During operation, the UE may identify a precondition of reconfiguring the connections. For example, the UE may intend to change a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) setting of the first connection in order to release some antennas that can be allocated to the second connection to relieve a communication bottleneck thereof. Prior to reconfiguring the connections, the UE may communicate its intent to the first network. The UE may not reconfigure the connections until a confirmation is received from the first network.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2022Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: MediaTek Inc.Inventors: Chiao-Chih Chang, Che-Li Lin

Patent number: 12155441Abstract: Different frequency channel allocation techniques exist for transmissions. These frequency channel allocation techniques do not explicitly take into account the position of the terminal equipment and the antenna characteristics associated therewith. In addition, these techniques consume significant calculation power in order for the frequency channels to be allocated in the best possible way between the various terminal devices. The communication method is based on the selection of a single current transmission frequency using a metric referred to as metric representative of an overlap of collecting surfaces. The overlap metric evaluates an interference level associated with a spatial overlap between collecting surfaces of a first terminal device and an interfering device for a radio signal transmission frequency.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2020Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: OrangeInventors: Isabelle Siaud, Anne-Marie Ulmer-Moll

Patent number: 12088335Abstract: Techniques for quickly and accurately determining whether a channel is being used for transmission of data using one of a plurality of communications protocols for low power signals using random data of a packet are disclosed. The techniques increase sensitivity and reduce the false alarm rate for a wide range of signal and noise levels. A noise detection technique uses an adaptive window size for fast noise detection that increases the rate of scanning channels during a signal identification period. In a BLE1M detection mode, detection of clusters of zero frequency deviation are used to reduce the false detection rate. Adaptive Zigbee symbol detection improves detection sensitivity beyond ?97 dBm. The techniques use a chip-based differential to generate frequency deviation samples for Zigbee detection or data filtering frequency deviation samples generated using sample-based differentials based on an oversampled received signal to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Silicon Laboratories Inc.Inventors: Qiang Li, Yan Zhou
