Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system embodying some aspects of the present embodiments for arbitrating communication between multiple communication devices are provided. The arbitration system include two communication devices and a packet traffic arbiter. The communication devices can be configured to receive or transmit data transmissions. The data transmissions can comprise protocol information. The protocol information can comprise transmission coordination information, handover information, and spectrum information. The packet traffic arbiter can be configured to coordinate the data transmissions between the two communication devices. The coordination can reduce traffic collisions or interference between low-power activities of the two communication devices.

Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for a programmable interference suppression module may include receiving a communication signal comprising one or more desired signal, and one or more undesired signals. The communication signal may be utilized to generate estimated channel state information. The estimated channel state information may be formatted for use in interference suppression. A reduced interference signal may be generated from a delayed version of said communications signal and the estimated channel state information, wherein the one or more undesired signals may be attenuated. The reduced interference signal may be formatted for post-processing. The desired signals may comprise WCDMA and/or HSDPA signals, and the undesired signals may be inter-cell and/or intra-cell interference. Further processing may comprise HSDPA processing and/or RAKE finger processing. The communication signal may be a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) compliant signal.

Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for compensation of interference cancellation delay are provided. In this regard, a wireless communication device may receive one or more signals and may be operable to select, whether dynamically or statically, a processing path for processing the one or more received signals. The selected processing path may comprise one of an interference cancellation processing path and a pass-through processing path. A delay introduced by the pass-through processing path may be approximately equal to a processing delay introduced by the interference cancellation processing path. The one or more received signals may comprise HSDPA signals. The selection of processing path may be based on a measure of interference present in the one or more received signals.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a RFIC master are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include configuring an on-chip programmable device that may function as a master on a bus that has at least one device interface, for example, RFIC interface, coupled to the bus. The on-chip programmable device may generate at least one signal to control at least one device coupled to at least one device interface. The on-chip programmable device may communicate the generated signal via the bus upon receiving an input timer signal and may be configured by writing at least one event data and an index-sample data to the on-chip programmable device. The index-sample data may comprise at least a count value and an event data index. When the count value equals a value of the timer signal, event data may be fetched and executed starting with the one specified by the event data index.

This combined cipher multiplexing engine includes a master port, a radio link control (RLC) data packer, and a cipher multiplexing processing module.

The RLC couples to the master port and receives RLC service data units (SDUs) from the AHB. Then the RLC data packer may concatenate or segment RLC SDUs into RLC packet data units (PDUs) which are stored for use by a cipher multiplexing processing module.
