  • Patent number: 9408147
    Abstract: A method of communicating data in a Bluetooth™ low energy (BLE) module is provided. The method includes modulating an outbound communication signal into a modulated signal with a particular modulation scheme based on a modulation type, and transmitting the modulated signal to a remote device via a wireless communication connection associated with the modulation type. The method also includes receiving an inbound radio frequency (RF) signal, determining if the inbound RF signal is associated with a modulation type, and demodulating the inbound RF signal with a particular modulation scheme based on the modulation type if the inbound RF signal is determined to be associated with a modulation type. In some aspects, the inbound RF signal and outbound modulated signal have symbol rates of 2 Megasymbols per second. In some implementations, the method includes switching between a legacy BLE system and an enhanced rate BLE system.

  • Publication number: 20120311312
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided to improve performance in power-saving modes. In particular, improvements are detailed to initialization times after chip restart from a power down mode. These improved initialization times benefit many consumer electronics that rely on batteries and other onboard power supplies, while at the same time having to meet strict usability demands for system response times.
