Patent number: 12096364Abstract: A Wi-Fi wake-up receiver that receives wake-up signals encoded using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based on-off keying (OFDM-OOK) modulation includes receiver circuitry having analog envelope detector circuitry configured to non-linearly down-convert an input signal and provide an energy signal for sampling by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A wake-up signal for waking up a main radio in a Wi-Fi device can be based on the digitized energy signal. The receiver circuitry can further include, upstream of the envelope detector circuitry and the ADC in the signal chain, an analog mixer for linearly down-converting the input signal and a low-pass filter for attenuating adjacent-channel interferer (ACI) signals prior to the non-linear down-conversion by the envelope detector circuitry. Sampling of the energy signal rather than the higher-bandwidth input signal yield power savings in the ADC and associated circuitry such as a modem.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2021Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Sucheth Suresh Babu Kuncham, Arnab Das, Pranav Sinha, Meghna Agrawal

Patent number: 12089153Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for renegotiating target wake time (TWT) parameters used for transmitting Bluetooth-encoded audio frames over one or more Wi-Fi channels. In some implementations, a software-enabled access point (softAP) paired with a peripheral device based on a Bluetooth protocol and associated with the peripheral device via a WLAN link transmits one or more first Bluetooth-encoded audio frames indicating a current time-to-play (TTP) value for audio data to the peripheral device over the WLAN link during a first TWT session. The softAP detects a change in the WLAN link, and obtains new TWT parameters and a new TTP value responsive to the detected change. The softAP indicates the new TWT parameters and the new TTP value to the peripheral device in conjunction with tearing down the first TWT session, and establishes a second TWT session with the peripheral device based at least in part on the new TWT parameters.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Srinivasa Rao Uppala, Sriman Miryala, Hemant Gupta
