  • APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API) FOR HANDLING ERRORS IN PACKETS RECEIVED BY A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER
    Publication number: 20090019460
    Abstract: Packets of information may be received in accordance with a protocol stack having a first portion (400) that contains a control layer and a stream layer, and a second portion (401) that contains a physical layer and a MAC layer. The second portion also maintains a group of inbound packets and respectively associated error statuses. The first portion invokes an application programming interface (API 1301,1302,1401,1402) to instruct the second portion to perform an action with respect to at least one of the inbound packets, which action is related to the error status associated with that packet.

  • APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API) FOR RESTORING A DEFAULT SCAN LIST IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER
    Publication number: 20090019461
    Abstract: A signal may be received in accordance with a protocol stack having a first portion (400) that contains a control layer and a stream layer, and a second portion (401) that contains a physical layer and a MAC layer. The first portion may invoke an application program interface (API 1402) to instruct the second portion to replace a current set of signal acquisition parameters with an initial set of signal acquisition parameters.
