  • Node dependent wireless transmit antenna selection technique
    Patent number: 7515940
    Abstract: A system and method for selecting a best transmit antenna for a transceiver using antenna diversity that caches the identity of the best transmit antenna for each remote node from which a message has been received.

  • Backward-compatible parallel DDR bus for use in host-daughtercard interface
    Patent number: 7181551
    Abstract: A host-daughtercard interface is pin compatible with a legacy interface but redefines a subset of pins to implement a high-bandwidth double data-rate (DDR) bus. By inspecting a cookie on the daughtercard, the host platform determines whether the daughtercard supports the DDR bus or the legacy interface, and then configures the subset of pins to implement the legacy interface or the DDR bus.
