Filed:

Nov 5, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/011603

Inventors:

Brian H. Bremer - Arlington Heights IL, US
Jeremy A. Jacobson - Bothell WA, US
Lawrence R. Schumacher - Hoffman Estates IL, US

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

G08C017/00

US Classification:

370311, 370310, 340 732, 340 738, 455 383, 455343, 4552341

Abstract:

A method for reducing current drain in a communication device includes a step of determining when the communication device is transmitting. A next step includes lowering the current level to the receiver when communication device is not transmitting. A next step includes raising the current level to the receiver when communication device is transmitting. Changing the current level alters the linearity of the receiver. As a result, the communication device reduces power consumption while operating in a traffic channel. The system is applicable to full duplex systems such as code division multiple access (CDMA) systems.

International Classification:

H04B001/69

US Classification:

375130, 375343

Abstract:

A first sequence state storage module () periodically stores a present state () of a long code generator (). Following a restoration of power after a power cut condition, or following the termination of any other interruption of the generation of the long code, a sequence recovery module () then provides an updated present state (). The updated present state () is based upon a stored present state () and a time value () that is reset whenever the present state () of the long code or other sequence is stored and that is available even when the long code or other sequence is interrupted.

Abstract:

A system and method of communications usage management for multiple networked devices such as cellular telephones in a telecommunications network. A management database is provided for storing communications attributes for at least one networked device. The stored communications usage attributes serve as criteria for regulating access of the networked devices to the system. The users of the devices may purchase a quantity of transferable units, such as usage minutes over the system network, with the units being redeemable for goods and/or services on the system, thus facilitating transfer of units between users. A user interface is provided as a system management device for accessing the management database to configure the communications usage attributes for defining the transfer and usage criteria. Communications usage software operable with the network devices computes usage times to provide an accounting of usage and regulation in accordance with the management database. In the described embodiment, short message service (SMS) traffic is used for messages between networked devices used by several users to purchase quantities of redeemable units for exchange, commercial activities, or recreation which may be facilitated through the system operator.
