Abstract: In the mobile radio communication system where the UMTS and an another system coexist an idle slot for observing the frequency component of another system is inserted in one superframe of UMTS. The duration of this idle slot is at most half of the duration of one frame that form the superframe and it is inserted at an interval of a specified number of frames. Therefore, the frequency component of the another system can be observed securely from the UMTS. Further, deterioration of interleaving performance of the compressed mode frames during such observation can be suppressed.

Abstract: A boot-up method for a digital television device is disclosed which significantly reduces the boot-up time when the power is turned on. At power-on, the control processor first loads a first subset of all the required registers, and start to perform a display function using the first subset of the register values. While the user is viewing the displaying images, the processor loads the remaining registers and completes the boot-up process. The first subset of registers to load may be determined based on information about the last state of the television device before it was last turned off, e.g., what input source a viewer was viewing. Alternatively, it maybe a predetermined subset of registers corresponding to a predetermined initial function.
