  • Patent number: 11234195
    Abstract: A radio transceiver comprises one or more hardware resources, e.g. a processor; memory; a peripheral device; an algorithmic hardware accelerator; and/or a radio frequency component. A cellular communication radio is operable in an active mode in which it has access to the one or more hardware resources for transmitting and/or receiving cellular communication signals, and an inactive mode in which it does not. A global navigation satellite systems radio, arranged to use the one or more hardware resources to receive positioning signals, has access to the one or more hardware resources only when the cellular communication radio is operated in the inactive mode.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10733117
    Abstract: A radio frequency transceiver device comprises a control register unit including one or more registers and a central processing unit arranged to access the one or more registers via a memory bus. The device also comprises a sequencer module comprising one or more configuration registers connected to the central processing unit via a control bus and also comprises one or more trigger inputs. A sequencer memory module is connected to the sequencer module and is arranged to store one or more read/write commands comprising instructions to read from and/or write to the registers within the control register unit. The sequencer module is arranged such that upon receiving a trigger event via at least one of the one or more trigger inputs, it executes the one or more read/write commands.
