Abstract: Auto-recovery from RF signal acquisition failure may be provided in a portable computing device. A field-calculated frequency-temperature (“FT”) curve is used to apply temperature compensation to a crystal oscillator associated with RF transceiver circuity of the device. In response to acquisition failure, it may be determined whether a deviation between the field-calculated FT curve and a factory-set FT curve exceeds threshold criteria. In response to acquisition success, the field-calculated FT curve may be refined based on frequency error information. However, in response to acquisition failure and a determination that the deviation exceeds the threshold criteria, information defining the field-calculated FT curve may be replaced with information defining the factory-set FT curve.

Abstract: A method, a system and a computer program product for regression test selection in a multi-threaded distributed target program execution tested by multi-threaded test suites. The method includes monitoring changes to source code of the target program in real-time to determine changed code-modules and extracting the regression test cases which simulate the changed code-modules. A calibration engine according to an embodiment isolates test case execution flow at individual test case level and builds relationship between the test case of the multi-threaded test suite and the distributed target program code-modules simulated by the test case. The method enhances the run-time behavior of the target program execution engines and builds relationships between the threads executing in the engine through throttling mechanism without affecting the actual functional execution. It enables calibration to happen in a multi-threaded test environment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for rewriting or adjusting a TCP timestamp value are described. The methodology includes determining network conditions of a wireless network, and establishing a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection between a first communication device and a second communication device via the wireless network. The timestamp value within a TCP packet to be transmitted, such as as a TCP SYN ACK packet in a 3-way handshake, is adjusted with the use of a timestamp adjusting circuitry or hardware, where the adjustment is based on the determined network conditions. By adjusting the timestamp of a TCP packet prior to transmission and based on network conditions, unnecessary retransmissions are reduced. Additionally, the use of timestamp adjusting hardware allows for more efficient timestamp adjustment by offloading processor computations.
