Patent number: 7804912Abstract: A communication device converts a bit stream to multiple symbols and provides encryption at a physical layer by shifting a phase of each symbol of the multiple symbols to produce multiple encrypted symbols. Each encrypted symbol of the multiple encrypted symbols is modulated with an orthogonal subcarrier to produce at least one modulated subcarrier and the at least one modulated subcarrier is then transmitted via a wireless link. On a receive side, a receiving communication device receives the transmitted, encrypted symbols and provides decryption at a physical layer by shifting a phase of each encrypted symbol in correspondence with the phase used to encrypt the symbol at the transmit side.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2005Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Yuda Y.

Patent number: 7602714Abstract: In the present technique of data transmission management provided, a composite status indicator value is assessed (716) based on multiple channel quality indicator reports over a predefined time. The assessed composite status indicator value is compared (718) to a first threshold value. If the assessed composite status indicator value does not correspond in at least a predetermined way to the first threshold value, the mobile station is classified (720) in a high speed data region. Otherwise, the assessed composite status indicator value is further compared (726) to a second threshold, and if it corresponds in at least a predetermined way to the second threshold, the mobile station is classified (734) in the low speed data region.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2004Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Jiangnan J.

Patent number: 5602874Abstract: In a quantization noise reduction circuit (200), a feedback signal (W)is added to an input signal (X) to the quantization circuit to reduce quantization noise. The feedback signal is generated as a filtered difference between a sample of a N bit signal (X') and a time coincident sample of a M bit quantized signal, where M<N. The feedback signal is subtracted from the input signal (X) prior to quantization thereby introducing out of band noise into the input signal for reducing in band noise in the quantized signal (Y).Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 1995Date of Patent: February 11, 1997Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Yuda Y.
