Abstract: Disclosed are methods, circuits, devices and systems for collocating a digital video receiver and a digital data transceiver. According to embodiments, a mobile digital video receiver may include a wireless receiver controller adapted to generate and transmit to a functionally associated wireless data transceiver an indication of an expected arrival of a digital video frame. The indication may be adapted to cause the functionally associated wireless data transceiver to generate and transmit to one or more wireless data transmitters an indicator signal or packet indicating that the wireless data transceiver is entering a low-power or standby mode/state for some predefined period of time.

Abstract: Disclosed is a receiver containing a receive chain, a shared buffer, a decoder circuit, and an output interface. The receive chain may be adapted to receive and demodulate a data frame bearing signal received at one or more carrier frequencies. The receive chain may be further adapted to store demodulated data in a shared buffer. The decoder circuit may be adapted to read received data from the shared buffer, process the received data and write the decoded data back to the shared buffer. The output interface may be adapted to read the processed data and to provide read data to one or more external data sink circuits or applications.

Abstract: A system for receiving wireless digital video transmissions over a WLAN comprising a base station (BS) adapted to provide a conditional access back-channel connection to one or more service providers; and a mobile digital video receiver (DVR) adapted to transmit a request for conditional access to the BS.
