  • Patent number: 9084123
    Abstract: A radio communication device may be provided. The radio communication device may include: a measurement circuit configured to measure a reception quality of a signal from another radio communication device; a retention time determiner configured to determine a retention time based on the measured reception quality; and a memory configured to store information related to the other radio communication device for a period of time, the period of time based on the determined retention time.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7756163
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for data transmission, in particular on the basis of the Bluetooth standard, in which data packets can be interchanged by radio by means of a timeslot method, in which communication channels are set up between a master subscriber and at least one slave subscriber, at least two communication channels are operated with reduced activity in a first operating mode, such that the data interchange takes place periodically during first time slots which are then followed by second time slots during which no data interchange is intended, a first communication channel, which can be operated in the first operating mode, is synchronized to at least one second communication channel which can be operated in the first operating mode. The invention also relates to a data transmission system which operates on the basis of the Bluetooth method, in particular for carrying out the method according to the invention.

  • Patent number: 7260359
    Abstract: Method for transmission of data between a master station and a slave station, and a data transmission system Data slots are interchanged in accordance with a time slot method between a master station (B) and the slave station (M1) in a data transmission system. The slave station (M1) may assume various operating modes during a connection. The operating mode of the slave station (M1) is identified by the data transmission system, and the slave station (M1) is addressed by the master station (M1), by means of a time addressing scheme which is dependent on the identified operating mode of the slave station (M1).

  • Patent number: 7142880
    Abstract: Data throughput is increased in a communication system that is designed for a bidirectional information exchange between a single master terminal unit and a number of slave terminal units. For that purpose, unoccupied transmission resources of the communication channel are used, and additional addressing times are entered in a predetermined addressing schedule in which the addressing times are entered at which the master terminal unit prompts the slave terminal units for data output. The method is specifically suited for the Bluetooth standard.

  • Patent number: 7129737
    Abstract: In a method for avoiding transients during switching processes in integrated circuits, a module of the integrated circuit is switched from a first operating state to a second operating state, a load change occurring thereby. In this case, it is ensured that the occurring quotient of load change and time duration for the transition from the first operating state to the second operating state does not exceed a predetermined limit value, thereby reducing or avoiding transients associated with such switching.

  • Patent number: 7031995
    Abstract: In a data processing method, a remainder R that is produced during the division of an integer A by a prescribed integer B is calculated recursively. For this purpose, a data symbol word representing the integer A is decomposed into K data symbol part-words W0, W1, . . . , WK?1 of word length L, and in each recursion step a function F determined by the numbers B and L is applied to an argument that depends on the function value Fi?1 obtained in the preceding recursion step, and on a data symbol part-word WK?i.

  • Publication number: 20050062516
    Abstract: In a method for avoiding transients during switching processes in integrated circuits, a module (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) of the integrated circuit (1) is switched from a first operating state to a second operating state, a load change occurring. In this case, it is ensured that the occurring quotient of load change and time duration for the transition from the first operating state to the second operating state does not exceed a limit value that is predetermined or can be predetermined in a targeted manner.

  • Publication number: 20040136350
    Abstract: A Bluetooth data transmission system has a primary terminal, a first group of secondary terminals and a second group of secondary terminals. Data packets can be interchanged by radio between the primary terminal and the secondary terminals in the first group and the secondary terminals in the second group. For connection identification with the first group and with the second group, the primary terminal has a first address and a second address.
