Publication number: 20170063427Abstract: Various aspects described herein relate to providing analog interference cancelation in a shared antenna. A plurality of signals can be obtained at a plurality of reference points in a transmitter chain of a shared antenna. At least one reference point of the plurality of reference points from which to generate a cancelation signal and/or at least one injection point for injecting the cancelation signal can be selected based at least in part on expected analog interference cancelation metrics related to each of the plurality of reference points and/or the at least one injection point. The cancelation signal can be generated based at least in part on the at least one reference point and/or injection point. The cancelation signal can be injected in the injection point at a receiver chain of the shared antenna to cancel interference from signals generated at the transmitter chain of the shared antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2015Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventors: Won-ick LEE, Insoo HWANG, Kaushik CHAKRABORTY, Ozgur DURAL, Samir Salib Soliman, Mark Anthony MAGGENTI

Publication number: 20170041095Abstract: A wireless device may determine the level of interference mitigation appropriate for the application and dynamically select a combination of interference cancellation components that satisfies that level. The combination of interference cancellation components may include components that consume power (e.g., active components) and components that do not consume power (e.g., passive components). The interference cancellation components may be used at the transmitter and/or the receiver. In some cases, the wireless device may also determine how much power is acceptable to expend on the interference mitigation. In such scenarios, the selection of the interference cancellation components may be such that the aggregated power consumption is less than the power expenditure limit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2015Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventors: Insoo Hwang, Cong Nguyen, Won-ick Lee, Mark Maggenti, Ozgur Dural

Publication number: 20160353311Abstract: An apparatus for capturing a signal of interest, e.g., PSS and/or SSS, captures data transmitted by a first RAT by obtaining access to a receive chain for a second RAT during a measurement gap for the first RAT. The signal of interest transmitted by the first RAT is captured during the measurement gap using the receive chain for the second RAT. Access to a receive chain for the second RAT may be obtained in any one of several ways. For example, access may be obtained by 1) requesting receive chain access for the second RAT for LTE measurements through a virtual flow, 2) entering into a power save mode, 3) tuning to a non-operating channel, 4) setting network allocation vector (NAV) at or above a threshold value, or 5) entering a measurement mode during which the receive chain for the second RAT is prevented from performing WLAN operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2016Publication date: December 1, 2016Inventors: Ozgur DURAL, Soumya DAS

Patent number: 9332509Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided that may address problems pertaining to effective transmit power control of a communications device operating in a wireless communications system. Some embodiments utilize mechanisms or techniques with dynamically adaptive steps sizes for transmit power control based on one or more trends. Some of these techniques may identify a trend in the transmit power control (TPC) commands and may adapt a TPC step size as a result. Other techniques may be utilized in which transmit power control is based on multiple interference estimates in a frame slot. Having multiple interference estimates at sub-slot intervals may provide additional transmit power control by allowing more transmit power adjustments, or more appropriate adjustments, for each slot. Metric calculations may be performed on one or more techniques to determine appropriate TPC operations.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2013Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Samir Salib Soliman, Ozgur Dural, Soumya Das, Edwin C.

Patent number: 9281861Abstract: Low-power transmitter and/or receiver devices are provided by sacrificing time and/or frequency diversity in exchange for lower power consumption. When channel conditions indicate that time and/or frequency spreading are unnecessary for transmissions, a transmitter may enter into a power-conservation mode in which transmissions are performed using a time gating scheme or a time repetition scheme. In the time gating scheme, symbols are transmitting just once, rather than a plurality of times, but with increased transmission power. In the time repetition scheme, copies of the same symbol are transmitted a plurality of times on the same frequency on different symbol transmission periods, instead of being retransmitted on different frequencies on different symbol transmission periods. Consequently, the symbol can be generated once and stored for subsequent retransmission, thereby allowing some of the transmitter/receiver chain components can be operated at a lower duty cycle or processing speed to conserve power.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Samir Soliman, Ozgur Dural, Krishnan Rajamani, Rabih Chrabieh

Publication number: 20150358840Abstract: A plurality of data samples are captured during a single capture period using a WLAN receive chain, wherein the data samples include a signal of interest periodically transmitted by a WWAN. A preferred LNA gain state is selected from among a plurality of available LNA gain states for the WLAN receive chain. The plurality of gain states may be a discrete set of LNA gain states or may be a set of LNA gain states derived from energy measurements. The LNA gain state of the WLAN receive chain is set to the selected LNA gain state and data samples are captured during each of a plurality of contiguous capture ticks within a capture period. The captured data samples are processed to detect for the signal of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2014Publication date: December 10, 2015Inventors: Ozgur DURAL, Soumya DAS, Olufunmilola O.

Publication number: 20150296468Abstract: An apparatus for capturing a signal of interest, e.g., PSS and/or SSS, captures data transmitted by a WWAN for each of a plurality of communication frames. The data is captured for a capture length corresponding to a duration less than a periodicity of transmission of the signal of interest. Data is captured with a WLAN receive chain, and each capture occurs at a different point within its respective communication frame relative to other communication frames. The apparatus processes the plurality of data captures to form an equivalent continuous data corresponding to a duration greater than the periodicity of transmission. Because the continuous data has a duration greater than the periodicity of transmission of the signal of interest, the signal of interest is contained in the captured data, and PSS and/or SSS can be detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2014Publication date: October 15, 2015Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ozgur DURAL, Soumya DAS
