    • The cellular telephone includes a universal asynchronous receive and transmit (UART) chip for receiving data in a serial format from an external source, such as a laptop computer, and for converting the serial data to parallel bytes of data for transmission to a microcontroller of the cellular telephone. The UART operates in one of two modes: a sample mode and a byte mode. In the sample mode, voltage levels of serial data signals received by the UART are detected and sample bytes are generated representative of those voltage levels. The sample bytes are stored within a receive First In First Out (FIFO) queue of the UART for eventual transference to the microcontroller. The microcontroller converts the sample bytes to signals appropriate for transmission using a cellular transmission format such as code division multiple access (CDMA). In the byte mode, the UART receives data bytes as bytes and stores those bytes directly within the receive FIFO without any sampling. The data bytes stored within the receive FIFO are transferred to the microcontroller which converts the bytes to appropriate signals for transmission from the cellular telephone. By processing input data as bytes rather than as samples, the microcontroller consumes far fewer resources processing the data thereby achieving, among other advantages, overall power reduction. In use, the UART is controlled to initially receive data as samples. The microcontroller examines the samples to determine the baud rate of received data then controls the UART to switch to the byte processing mode using the detected baud rate. Techniques for determining the baud rate and for switching the UART to byte mode without loss of data are also described herein.
    • 蜂窝电话包括用于从诸如膝上型计算机之类的外部源接收串行格式的数据的通用异步接收和发送(UART)芯片,并且用于将串行数据转换成并行字节的数据以传输到微控制器 蜂窝电话。 UART以两种模式之一运行:采样模式和字节模式。 在采样模式下,检测由UART接收的串行数据信号的电压电平,并生成代表这些电压电平的采样字节。 采样字节存储在UART的接收先进先出(FIFO)队列中,以最终转移到微控制器。 微控制器使用诸如码分多址(CDMA)的蜂窝传输格式将采样字节转换为适于传输的信号。 在字节模式下,UART以字节形式接收数据字节,并将这些字节直接存储在接收FIFO中,无需任何采样。 存储在接收FIFO中的数据字节被传送到微控制器,该微控制器将字节转换为适当的信号以从蜂窝电话传输。 通过处理作为字节而不是采样的输入数据,微控制器消耗数据少得多的处理数据,从而除了其他优点之外实现了整体功率的降低。 在使用中,UART被控制为初始接收数据作为样本。 微控制器检查样本以确定接收数据的波特率,然后使用检测到的波特率控制UART切换到字节处理模式。 这里还描述了用于确定波特率和用于将UART切换到字节模式而不丢失数据的技术。

    • A QMIP unit receives and stores data information from a first set of modules. The QMIP unit also receives and stores a flow control indication from each module of a first set of modules. The flow control indication is indicative as to whether each module of the first set of modules is capable of receiving data. The QMIP unit creates a frame which carries the data information and the flow control indication corresponding to one of the first set of modules. The QMIP unit forwards the frame over the common data link. At the far end of the data link, the receiving QMIP unit parses the flow control indication and the data information from the frame and forwards the flow control indication and the data information to a destination module. The destination module processes the data according to normal procedures. In addition, the destination module responds to the flow control indication by ceasing the transmission of data to the sending module if so indicated.

    • Techniques for performing system selection based on a usage model that uses “access strings”, “profiles”, and “activation strings” are described. Access strings are defined for wireless data services and provide a highly intuitive user interface. Each access string is associated with one or more profiles. Each profile includes various parameters needed to establish a specific data call. Each profile is further associated with an activation string that contains connection information for the data call. System selection is performed in two parts. In the first part, a wireless user views access strings for available data services, selects the access string for the desired data service, and returns the selected access string. In the second part, the wireless device selects a profile for a system most suited to provide the desired data service, from among all profiles associated with the selected access string.

    • A computing device includes a low power auxiliary processor, such as a processor on a wireless card or sub-system, which is able to takeover processing in place of the computing device's central processing unit (CPU). Operating the computing device on the auxiliary processor draws less power from the computing device battery, enabling extended operation in an auxiliary processor mode. When in this mode, the auxiliary processor controls peripherals and provides the system functionality while the CPU is deactivated, such as in “off,” “standby” or “sleep” modes. In the auxiliary processor mode, the computing device can accomplish useful tasks, such as sending/receiving electronic mail, displaying electronic documents and accessing a network while drawing minimal power from the battery. Transitions between the normal operating mode and auxiliary processor mode may be transparent to users. Such a computer may display instant on, always on and always connected operating features.
