Abstract: Dans le procédé et le dispositif de fonctionnement entre une première station utilisant un premier schéma de communication et comprenant un premier codeur et un premier décodeur et une seconde station utilisant un second schéma de communication et comprenant un second codeur et un second décodeur, une communication entre ces deux stations est menée par émission de paramètres de codage de signal associés à un signal sonore allant du codeur d'une des première et seconde stations vers le décodeur de l'autre station. Le signal sonore est classé afin de déterminer si les paramètres de codage de signal doivent être émis du codeur d'une des stations au décodeur de l'autre station au moyen d'un premier mode de communication dans lequel l'émission utilise un débit binaire complet afin d'émettre ces paramètres. Lorsque le classement du signal sonore détermine que les paramètres de codage de signal doivent être émis au moyen du premier mode de communication et lors de la réception d'une demande d'émission des paramètres de codage de signal depuis le codeur d'une station vers le décodeur de l'autre station au moyen d'un second mode de communication conçu pour réduire le débit binaire durant l'émission des paramètres, une portion des paramètres de codage de signal provenant du codeur d'une station est abandonnée et la portion restante des paramètres est émise vers le décodeur de l'autre station au moyen du second mode de communication. La portion abandonnée des paramètres de codage de signal est régénérée avant que le décodeur de l'autre station ne décode les paramètres de codage de signal.

Patent CA-2504692-C (CA)
Inventor: HOSSAIN ASIF
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 2003-03-06
Granted: 2012-06-19
Abstract: Generally, the present invention provides a method for detecting poor RF conditions, and entering different sleep mode levels or phases in accordance with the RF conditions to save battery power. Mobile device battery life can be conserved when the mobile device detects poor RF conditions and enters a deep sleep mode of operation. In this deep sleep mode of operation the mobile device periodically samples the RF conditions and gradually increases the period between samples when the RF conditions do not improve. Because mobility can change the RF condition for wireless devices even in areas of good RF coverage, the mobile device operating in the deep sleep mode can detect this mobility and thus enhance the probability of entering an idle state, or alternatively, entering a longer power save mode. When the RF condition improves, the mobile device exits from the deep sleep mode and returns to the idle state.
