  • Scanning performance
    Patent number: 10432267
    Abstract: Exemplary systems, apparatus, and methods described herein may improve a scan process for near field communications, such as IEEE 802.15.4. The improvements may include, during the scan process, performing one of increasing a current of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)/digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) of a second wireless device, reducing a bandwidth of a phased locked loop, increasing the bandwidth of the phased locked loop, changing a reference frequency of the phased locked loop, or dithering the reference frequency.

  • Techniques for activating single wire communications
    Patent number: 9554331
    Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein relate to activating a single wire protocol (SWP) interface with a circuit card. A single wire protocol (SWP) activation procedure is initiated with a circuit card. During the SWP activation procedure, an unexpected frame may be received, and a different SWP activation procedure may be initiated with the circuit card based at least in part on receiving the unexpected frame during the SWP activation procedure.
