Embodiments may also include a multi-buffer trace unit to change one or more of a sort rule, a trigger rule, an enforcement rule, or a filter rule of the multi-buffer trace unit based at least in part on the determined state of the apparatus. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2017Publication date: March 14, 2019Inventors: Patrik Eder, Christian Horak, Joseph F. Cramer

Patent number: 9351183Abstract: A method and apparatus are for receiving a set of individual congestion reports, wherein each individual congestion report comprises a set of congestion values and an associated location. Each individual congestion report has been generated by one of a plurality of user devices operating in a wireless communication system and is based on at least one of a downlink congestion value, an uplink congestion value, and a core congestion value. The set of individual congestion reports is correlated to form one or more local congestion reports. One or more local congestion reports are transmitted to a user device. Additionally or alternatively, user device application interactions with a user device are altered based on the one or more local congestion reports. Additionally or alternatively, network performance parameters are altered to reduce congestion in at least on region based on one or more local congestion reports.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Krishna K. Bellamkonda, Joseph F. Cramer, Jitesh R. Nair, Bryan S. Nollett, Nischal Y. Patel

Patent number: 7907671Abstract: A communication unit is provided having a transmitter and a processor (103). The processor (103) receives information (105) representative of a configuration of physical channels (107). The processor (103) determines a scaling factor responsive to the information (105) and facilitates scaling a signal (109, 111) provided by a combination of the channels utilizing the scaling factor. The scaled signal (109, 111) is provided to the transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2004Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Motorola Mobility, Inc.Inventors: Armin W. Klomsdorf, Michael J. Carney, Joseph F. Cramer, III, Christopher P. LaRosa, Dale G. Schwent, Robert S. Trocke

Patent number: 6937874Abstract: A method for power control in spread spectrum communication systems includes a first step of providing multiplexed registers coupled to a control circuit and controlled by a control signal. A next step includes measuring a transmit power. Next steps include receiving TPC information, and determining whether the TPC information calls for an increase or decrease in power. A next step includes comparing the TPC information to the last TPC information, wherein if the TPC information is the same as the last TPC information, calculating a new power control value using the TPC information and measured transmit power, and writing the new power control value to the next selected register. A next step includes applying the control signal corresponding to the next selected register to the multiplexer to couple the value of next selected register to the control circuit.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2002Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventor: Joseph F. Cramer, III

Patent number: 6650691Abstract: A method for power control in spread spectrum communication systems includes a first step of providing multiplexed registers coupled to a control circuit and controlled by a TPC-derived control. One register containing an increased power control value and the other register a decreased power control value. A next step includes measuring a transmit power. A next step includes precalculating an increased and decreased power control value using the measured transmit power. Next steps includes comparing precalculated power control values to those previously stored in the registers, and writing only those changed values to their corresponding registers. A next step is receiving TPC information, followed by determining the requested power change from the TPC information, wherein if the information for the next slot is the same as for the current slot, writing the associated precalculated value to the next register to be selected.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2002Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventor: Joseph F.

Patent number: 6049532Abstract: A mobile station (102) has electrical circuitry (301) that operates to reduce power consumption. A synthesizer (318) is tuned so that a receiver (314) receives a home radio frequency (RF) signal during a receive slot (504) of a PCH subframe (209). A controller (310) detects if an upcoming subframe has an uplink requirement and if data from the home RF signal indicates that an idle condition exists. If the upcoming subframe does not have an uplink requirement, synthesizer (318) is tuned during a long idle slot (506) of PCH subframe (209) to measure signal strengths of two peripheral RF signals. If the idle condition does exist, electrical circuitry (301) is placed into a low power mode throughout a transmit slot (508), a receive slot (512), a long idle slot (514), and a transmit slot (516).Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1997Date of Patent: April 11, 2000Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Scott A.

Patent number: 5535258Abstract: A radio telephone interface apparatus for speed dialing any of a plurality of stored sequences of digits forming telephone numbers. Pre-stored telephone numbers are stored in an electronic memory. Actuation of switches permits either sequential access to each of the stored telephone numbers or direct, nonsequential access to a desired set of stored telephone numbers. When the telephone numbers are sequentially access, mneumonic information associated with each one of the telephone numbers is provided to a voice synthesizer to provide an aural indication of the telephone numbers stored within individual ones of the directory locations.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1994Date of Patent: July 9, 1996Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Manohar A. Joglekar, Joseph F. Cramer, Jr., George M. Korycan
