Patent number: 9219674Abstract: Methods and apparatus for signal processing is disclosed. The methods and apparatus include a first autocorrelator configured to autocorrelate a received signal using a first time delay to produce a first correlation magnitude, a second autocorrelator configured to autocorrelate the received signal using a second time delay different from the first time delay to produce a second correlation magnitude, and a detector configured to determine whether the received signal comprises a packet preamble based on the first and second correlation magnitudes.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2013Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Vinayak N. Chowdiah, Gregory Alan Breit, David J. Walker

Patent number: 8811200Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure present physical layer metrics for supporting adaptive station-dependent channel state information feedback rate in multi-user communication systems. For certain aspects, the physical layer metrics may be calculated at the stations and communicated to the AP. For certain aspects, the metrics may be calculated at an access point utilizing information about channel characteristics of stations available at the access point.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2010Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Gregory Alan Breit, Sameer Vermani, Santosh Paul Abraham, Hemanth Sampath

Patent number: 8781522Abstract: The invention utilizes small, narrow-band and frequency adaptable antennas to provide coverage to a wide range of wireless modes and frequency bands on a host wireless device. The antennas have narrow pass-band characteristics, require minimal space on the host device, and allow for smaller form factor. The frequency tunability further allows for a fewer number of antennas to be used. The operation of the antennas may also be adaptably relocated from unused modes to in-use modes to maximize performance. These features of the antennas result in cost and size reductions. In another aspect, the antennas may be broadband antennas.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2006Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Allen Minh-Triet Tran, Ernest T. Ozaki, Jatupum Jenwatanavet, Gregory Alan Breit

Publication number: 20130231060Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, processors and computer-readable media include a radiated testing module that executes a predetermined radiated performance test on a wireless device. The test dictates various performance-related parameters to measure and log at each of a plurality of predetermined positions. Further, the wireless device receives synchronization information operable to enable synchronization between the logged measurements and each of the positions. The synchronized log allows the wireless device, or another apparatus, to determine a radiated performance characteristic based on a predetermined analysis protocol. Further, the described embodiments allow for the determination of several radiated performance characteristics in a single test, using a single, unaltered wireless device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2012Publication date: September 5, 2013Applicant: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: Ernest T. Ozaki, Kenny Fok, Paul M. Seckendorf, Tia Manning Cassett, Patrick Tierney, Gregory Alan Breit, Jing Li

Patent number: 8385869Abstract: A self-test prediction system predicts the impact that a host device has on an embedded wireless device's receiver performance by recording the wireless device's received power. No carrier or pilot signal is necessary to predict the impact. The wireless device's embedded receiver monitors its own received power (e.g., RSSI) from any type of radiated noise from the host device. For receivers that do not provide RSS referenced to absolute power, an external reference tone can be used in order to scale the measured receiver carrier to noise or signal to noise data to an absolute power. The increase in measured received power on the wireless device's receiver correlates to the impact the host device will have on the embedded wireless device's receiver sensitivity performance, providing a faster approach with less external equipment than current approaches that use external equipment to simulate the wireless device's forward link signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2008Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM, IncorporatedInventors: Dennis Michael Feenaghty, Christopher Bryan Bowman, Gregory Alan Breit, Paul Guckian
