摘要： A personal computer's (PC) microprocessor is used to provide both the physical layer (PHY) and media access control (MAC) processing functions required to implement a wireless local area network (WLAN) adapter. This technique uses the polling mechanism associated with the power save (PS) functionality of WLAN protocol to relieve networking stress on the host processing system. It does this while maintaining networking integrity and packet delivery. The WLAN protocol polling mechanism is used to briefly inhibit the transfer of packets from the WLAN access point (AP) during peak periods of network traffic and/or host processor loading. Because the modulation, demodulation, and MAC functions, typically implemented in dedicated hardware on existing adapters are implemented in software running on the host PC microprocessor, other host system processes and applications can interfere with these time critical functions. Conversely, latency introduced by WLAN specific processing tasks during peak periods of network traffic may cause unacceptable delays to the other processes and applications requiring microprocessor attention. In addition to its primary stated purpose of allowing WLAN mobile stations to save power, this technique will use power save polling as a method for controlling delivery of network packets when the host is heavily loaded or when peak interrupt latencies make reliable packet delivery difficult or impossible.

摘要： A personal computer's (PC) microprocessor is used to provide both the physical layer (PHY) and media access control (MAC) processing functions required to implement a wireless local area network (WLAN) adapter. This technique uses the microprocessor within the personal computer to pre-compute the time critical PHY waveforms required to respond to received packets. For instance, the acknowledge (ACK) waveform required to respond to a received WLAN packet is pre-computed and stored in the PC memory. Upon receipt of a valid packet, the samples of the ACK waveform are transferred from the PC memory to a digital to analog converter (DAC). The DAC generates the transmit waveform required for the radio modulator. By pre-computing the transmit waveform samples, the required loading on the PC microprocessor is reduced during time critical periods.

摘要： A method and wireless local area network (WLAN) adapter for the reduction of receive packet processing in a communications system receiver. The method includes establishing a set of criteria which identifies a packet as one requiring demodulation. The method further includes detecting a packet preamble to trigger at least one waveform identification function and determining with the at least one waveform identification function of the detected packet meets an established criteria for demodulation. The established criteria may include at least one of data rate, modulation type, signal to noise ratio, or coding rate. If the detected packet meets the established criteria for demodulation, a host processor may be interrupted to begin demodulation.

摘要： A full-duplex radio transceiver includes a transmitter and a receiver. A duplexer is connected to an output of the transmitter and an input of the receiver. The receiver includes a low noise amplifier having a nonlinear portion capable of generating undesired cross-modulation signals based upon a portion of the transmit signal coupled thereto from the duplexer and a signal from another adjacent transmitter. A bandpass filter is connected to an output of the low noise amplifier, and at least one downconverter stage is connected to an output of the bandpass filter. A reactive termination circuit is connected between the low noise amplifier and the bandpass filter for changing an impedance presented to the output of the low noise amplifier with respect to signals from the colocated transmitter to thereby reduce undesired cross-modulation signals.

摘要： A single bias block for a single or multiple low voltage RF circuits including one or more amplifiers and one or more single or double balanced mixers with compensation for temperature and integrated circuit process parameters. The power supply may be a lower voltage without sacrificing the dynamic range of the amplifier and/or mixer by applying full power supply voltage to the load with the bias applied to the base circuit through an operational amplifier and/or buffer circuit. For the mixer, a lower noise figure may also be realized by moving the gain control impedance from the emitter to the collector circuit. The circuits may be discrete components or part of an integrated circuit. Methods are disclosed for reducing the power supply voltage without affecting the dynamic range of an amplifier, for temperature and process parameter compensation, and for controlling the gain of a mixer without affecting input or output impedance.
