Patent ID: 8145198

Claim:
A method of initializing an electronic radio communication module capable of executing at least one radio communication program, stored in a first non-volatile memory, said initialization being based on calibration parameter values, wherein said method comprises the following steps, carried out by said electronic radio communication module when said electronic radio communication module executes said at least one radio communication program: reading at least one compressed calibration parameter in a second non-volatile memory; decompressing each compressed calibration parameter read, in order to obtain a decompressed calibration parameter, wherein a value of each compressed calibration parameter is comprised in an initial range of possible values, said initial range being centered on an average value and function of a dispersion of said electronic radio communication module, wherein decompressing comprises the following steps, for at least one compressed calibration parameter: obtaining an offset value defined beforehand, during compression of said at least one compressed calibration parameter, according to a range of useful values, of a size that is less than said initial range, and of an average value of said at least one compressed calibration parameter; obtaining a granularity value, defined beforehand during the compression of said at least one compressed calibration parameter, according to a maximum error value on said at least one compressed calibration parameter; and decompressing said at least one compressed calibration parameter according to compressed calibration parameter, said offset value and said granularity value, so as to obtain the decompressed calibration parameter; and initializing said electronic radio communication module based on a value of said decompressed calibration parameter.
