Power efficient receiver

A direct sequence spread spectrum receiver samples an incoming signal and stores the sample in memory. Power is then inhibited to the tuner of the receiver to minimize power consumption. The signal sample may be read from memory when necessary to process the signal without further signal acquisition. Power to other receiver sections may be selectively controlled to minimize power consumption. Such a receiver is useful in global positioning satellite (GPS) signal processing where the receiver has a limited power supply.

Pre-acquisition frequency offset removal in a GPS receiver

A direct sequence spread spectrum receiver samples an incoming signal and stores the sample in memory. Prior to sampling and storage, the incoming signal is translated to an IF signal. Also prior to storage, the IF signal is corrected for a frequency offset signal. The frequency offset may be caused by many sources, Doppler shift or local oscillator error, for example. Once the signal is corrected for the frequency offset, the signal sample is stored in memory. The signal sample is read from memory as necessary to process the signal. Such a receiver is useful in global positioning satellite (GPS) signal processing where the incoming signal contains several satellite transmissions encoded with CDMA encoding.

Short-range wireless system and method for multimedia tags

A short-range wireless system and method is disclosed to store and transfer a new type of multimedia data construct called a tag. A user can write text, create a voice clip and append it to the text, take a digital picture and append it to the text, to create a multimedia file as the content of a tag. The creation or modifying of the multimedia file can be done in the user's mobile wireless device or off line and then stored in the mobile device. The multimedia file is then incorporated into the tag or it can be referenced by a pointer in the tag. The multimedia file is artistic expression of the user and the tag uniquely associates the user's identity with the multimedia file by prohibiting alteration of the content after the user completes its creation. A content-originator flag (CFG) value in the tag is set to “false” during the period when the user is creating or modifying the tag's content. When the user completes editing the content of the tag, the content-originator flag (CFG) value is set to true, thereby freezing the content. The tag includes the user's ID, such as his / her international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) or mobile station ISDN number (MSISDN). Subsequent viewers of the content can make a copy of the content and can then modify it, but they cannot authentically attribute the modified copy to the original user. The system can be implemented as a wireless personal area network (PAN) such as provided in the Bluetooth Standard or a wireless local area network (LAN) such as provided in the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Standard and the HIPERLAN Standard.

GPS receiver with efficient signal acquisition

A direct sequence spread spectrum receiver samples an incoming signal and translates the signal to an IF signal. The IF signal is sampled and stored in memory. In one embodiment, the memory consists of two memory banks which alternately receive sample segments. During a write period to one of the memory banks, the other memory bank supplies its output to a processor. This continues in a ping-pong manner. In another embodiment, a single memory bank is filled and read as necessary, the receiver ignoring incoming signal until the processor has completed processing the sample available at the output of the memory. Such a receiver is useful in global positioning satellite (GPS) signal processing where the incoming signal contains several satellite transmissions encoded with CDMA encoding.

Low power signal processing for spread spectrum receivers

A direct sequence spread spectrum architecture permits low power consumption during a synchronization phase of data reception by allowing the receiver to be turned off during most of the acquisition phase of reception, or by using a parallel correlator to keep acquisition time short. The architecture is particularly suitable for global positioning satellite (GPS) signal processing and permits multiple satellite codes and multiple Doppler bins to be searched either sequentially, without requiring the receiver to be turned on during the search process. The receiver output baseband data is sampled and stored over a time interval sufficient to achieve acquisition and synchronization for any one code division multiple access (CDMA) signal at any specific Doppler shift. This sample is digitally recorded and re-played from memory as many times as may be required to acquire and synchronize each desired CDMA signal. To keep processing energy consumption low, an analog (capacitor-based) cross-correlator is used. The order of coherent and non-coherent processing for all code-Doppler channels is chosen to maximize energy efficiency while minimizing required processor hardware.
