  • Patent number: 8094653
    Abstract: A physical layer transport composite processing system used in a wireless communication system. A plurality of interconnected processing blocks are provided. The blocks are interconnected by a read data bus, a write data bus and a control bus. The blocks include a transport channel processing block, a composite channel processing block and a chip rate processing block. At least two of the blocks are capable of processing data for a plurality of wireless formats. A first set of parameters is programmed into the blocks for a particular wireless mode. The blocks are operated to process data in the particular wireless format mode.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7986955
    Abstract: A wireless communication system implements wireless communications between a base station and a plurality of User Equipments (UEs) including paging of UEs by initially processing paging indicator information. A first embodiment involves a UE's physical layer L1 being configured for interpreting a paging indicator (PI) to activate a preset decoding configuration to process paging data in a pre-specified paging channel (PCH). A second embodiment involves the physical layer control of a next higher level, L2, interpreting the paging indicator and configuring the physical layer L1 to process paging data in a pre-specified PCH.
