Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a method, apparatus, and computer software for wireless communication. In various examples, a method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes measuring channel quality over a measurement period associated with a voice call corresponding to a first subscription supported by the user equipment, determining whether the channel quality is sufficient to enable an adaptive multi-rate (AMR) decoder to ignore one or more bursts of a plurality of bursts carrying a block of data received at the user equipment, and causing the adaptive multi-rate decoder to decode the block of data without the one or more bursts when the channel quality is determined to be sufficient to enable the adaptive multi-rate decoder to ignore the one or more bursts. The channel quality may be measured by measuring a bit error rate for a transmission on a slow associated control channel (SACCH).

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include devices, systems and methods for optimized camping on a cell. One method can include beginning a power scan of a range of radio-frequency channel numbers as part of an acquisition. Power can be measured for a first set of radio-frequency channel numbers at a time using adjacent channel interference detection. An average power can be computed for each radio-frequency channel number once the range has been scanned a predetermined number of times. Other aspects, embodiments and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Fast Associated Control Channel (FACCH) information is combined if a first block of FACCH information and a repeated block of FACCH information each fail a respective integrity check. An algorithm for realizing repeated FACCH diversity combining gains for different codec and discontinuous transmission (DTX) configurations is applicable to Full Rate codecs, Half Rate codecs, and discontinuous transmission scenarios. A pair of buffers may be used in a ping-pong fashion to store decoding soft or hard decisions for failed FACCH blocks.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communication in connection with one or more devices, such as a mobile station (MS). A first burst of a multi-burst page is received from a paging channel. A correlation between at least a portion of the first burst and each of a plurality of predetermined bit patterns corresponding to a non-NULL page destined for the MS is determined. If the correlation is greater than a threshold, a second burst of the page is read and early decoding of the page is performed. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods enable rejection of adjacent channel interference (ACI) in a way that mitigates reductions in performance, such as increased bit error rates, which might otherwise occur with conventional filtering algorithms used to combat ACI. For example, a filter or a filter stage may be shifted in frequency by an amount that corresponds to a measured power of the ACI. In some examples, the amount to shift the filter may correspond to a carrier to interference (C/I) ratio, which itself is based in part on the ACI. In some examples, the amount to shift the filter may further depend on the noise power in the wireless channel, since a lesser shift of the filter frequency may be beneficial in noisy environments.

Abstract: Communications devices are adapted to receive a plurality of RF bursts of a radio block, where the plurality of RF bursts includes a number of RF bursts less than a total number of RF bursts for the radio block. A header can be decoded from the received plurality of RF burst. From the decoded header, a determination may be made whether the radio block is intended for the communications device or for another device. According to at least some examples, if the radio block is determined to be intended for another device, at least a portion of a receiver circuit of the communications device can be powered down. Also, according to at least some examples, if the radio block is determined to be intended for the receiving communications device, a data payload of the radio block may be decoded. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting two signals on a single channel comprising a single frequency and a single time slot are disclosed. The method includes: generating a first training sequence from a first set of training sequences; generating a second training sequence from a second set of training sequences. The first and second training sequences have a low cross-correlation ratio with respect to each other; and the second set of training sequences is different from the first set of training sequences. First and second data are generated. The first data is combined with the first training sequence to produce first combined data and the second data is combined with the second training sequence to produce second combined data. The first and second combined data are transmitted on the single channel by a single transmitting apparatus.
