Abstract: A system (211) and method (300) for reliable monitoring of secure application execution events is provided. The system can include a Near Field Communication (NFC) modem (140) for communicating transaction events of a secure contactless transaction (358) with a NFC reader (170), a secure controller (200) for monitoring state transitions caused by the transaction events, and a mobile host communicatively coupled to the secure controller for receiving hardware event notifications of the state transitions. The secure controller can generate message using a hardware interrupt to a mobile host based on secure applet state transition monitoring by setting up the events flag such as a Transaction Completion Flag (TCF) (372) into an Events Status Register (232) to identify a status of a secure contactless transactions.

Abstract: A system (211) and method (400) for reliable monitoring of secure applet events is provided. The system can include a Near Field Communication (NFC) modem (140) for communicating transaction events, a secure controller (200) for monitoring state transitions caused by the transaction events, and a mobile host (125) for receiving event notifications of the state transitions via an Applications Programming Interface. An NFC reader can send a Transaction Acknowledgement TACK (403) to the NFC modem to confirm a receipt of data associated with an applet event. An INFO message (405) can be included with the TACK for informing a user of secure contactless transaction status through a user interface (190) of the mobile host.

Abstract: The channel scanning method and apparatus uses a priority table (500) to determine the action that should be taken by a mobile station (MS) during an idle frame of a traffic channel (TCH) in order to decode the base station identification code (BSIC) of each channel in a reporting table every ten seconds in accordance with GSM specification 05.08. The priority table (500) has channel groups (510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560) based on the role of the cell relative to the MS, the time elapsed since the cell's broadcast channel (BCH) was most recently synchronized, the expected amount of time needed to either detect a frequency burst (FCH) or demodulate a synchronization burst (SCH), the power level of a BCH, and the detected noise level. The priority table is used by a scheduler (600) to aid the MS in efficiently using each idle frame and reducing nonuse of idle frames.
