Abstract: An autonomous braking system includes a detecting module, a tracing module, a collision path prediction module, a memory register, a collision time prediction module and a decision module. The detecting module recognizes multiple objects located ahead of a vehicle, and then the tracing module traces the moving objects. The collision path prediction module is used to obtain a possible collision range and a non-collision range. The memory register records the coordinate of the objects located within the possible collision range. When one of the objects moves out of the possible collision range, its data is instantaneously removed from the memory register. The collision time prediction module predicts a collision time between the vehicle and each of the objects. The decision module determines if a brake assist is activated in accordance with the collision time.

The system control logic issues an external interrupt (EINT) signal to the wireless telephony communications module for activating a clock source via the wireless telephony communications module. When the clock source is activated, the clock generator and distributor receives a reference clock from the activated clock source, converts the reference clock into one or more internal clocks and drives the internal clock or clocks to the RF module and the MODEM for synchronization therebetween.

Abstract: An embodiment of an apparatus for channel assessment is provided, comprising a radio frequency (RF) unit, a baseband unit and a microprocessor control unit (MCU). The baseband unit coupling to the RF unit directs the RF unit to selectively hop into one of a plurality of available channels in a frequency band using a pseudorandom sequence to receive a plurality of packets via the hopped channel. The MCU coupling to the baseband unit accumulates a measure for the hopped channel according to reception results of the packets and marks the hopped channel as a bad channel when the accumulated measure exceeds a predetermined threshold. The measure represents the inaccuracy extent during packet reception via the hopped channel.
