The techniques described herein relate to a Radio Frequency (RF) communication module for a hand-held mobile electronic device. The Radio Frequency (RF) communication module includes a circuit board and a plurality of antennas disposed on a top side and bottom side of the circuit board. The plurality of antennas comprise a first subset of antennas comprising end-fire antennas and a second subset of antennas comprising broadside antennas. The first subset of antennas and the second subset of antennas also have a bandwidth of approximately 40 percent. The Radio Frequency (RF) communication module also includes a shielded area comprising circuitry coupled to the circuit board for controlling the antennas.

Techniques are disclosed to remedy thermal issues associated with antenna systems. These techniques include implementing heat pipes coupled between an external mast having antenna circuitry mounted thereon and an internal heatsink inside an environmentally-controlled location. This configuration thermally regulates heat associated with active antennas mounted to the mast, which is externally mounted onto the roof of a vehicle. The heat pipes carry heat from the mast down through the roof to the internal heatsink. The aspects described herein allow for car manufacturers to integrate mmWave technology into their vehicles while avoiding large and unsightly cooling mechanisms that would otherwise adversely impact aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.

A method for performing audio input/output through a telephone in a computer system, wherein a telephony driver and an audio driver and an audio task executing on a digital signal processing subsystem of the computer system perform sound sample data conversion to a standard data format and perform sample rate conversion and stereo to mono conversion for digital telephone compatibility.

A method for dynamically scaling consumption of processor cycles by a task executing in a multi-tasking input/output subsystem, wherein a performance task executing in the multi-tasking input/output subsystem determines a real-time error measure that indicates a number of real-time errors logged by at least one input/output driver executing in the multi-tasking input/output subsystem. If the measure of real-time data gathering errors exceeds a predetermined threshold, then the consumption of processor cycles consumed by the task is reduced.

A transceiver providing simultaneous transfer of control information with voice and data over a public switched telephone network line is disclosed. In a typical system application, the transceiver is coupled to a public switched telephone network (PSTN) via a single telephone line. The transceiver includes logic for generating control information and for combining the control information with voice signals or data signals for transmission and reception through the PSTN using a single telephone line. The present invention provides a PSTN channel having two component subchannels, a main channel and a side channel. The main channel is provided for the transfer of voice signals and data signals at the same time the side channel is transferring control information and/or additional data signals. The control information transferred on the side channel is used primarily for selecting the transfer of either voice signals or data signals on the main channel. By providing a separate and independent side channel for controlling the main channel, the present invention eliminates the inherent delays caused in the prior art design by switching between a voice transfer mode and a data transfer mode using a single channel. The present invention also allows the transfer of data signals on the side channel simultaneously with the transfer of voice signals on the main channel. These advantages are provided by the present invention without redefining the bandwidth of the standard PSTN channel.

A method for dynamically scaling consumption of processor cycles by a task executing in a computer system, wherein a performance task determines an error measure that indicates real-time errors logged by at least one driver executing in computer system. If the error measure exceeds a predetermined threshold, then the consumption of processor cycles by a high consumption task is reduced.

A real-time media driver for scheduling and mixing media in a multimedia environment. Implemented to operate in conjunction with a non-real-time operating system, the real-time media driver comprises a wave driver which controls a predominant percentage of the operations of the media hardware device and a mini-device driver which is software provided by the vendor of the media hardware device to support functions unique to the particular media hardware device. Furthermore, the real-time media driver comprises a media scheduler which (i) synchronizes multiple media streams prior to being input into a mixing/splitting device of the media scheduler; (ii) allows reconfiguration of attributes of media streams without loss of content prior to and after operations by the mixing/splitting device; and (iii) appropriately mixes media to produce multi-channel media according to a certain 'prioritized sharing' policies.

A method and apparatus for implementing the removal of electronic or acoustic echo from a full-duplex audio data stream. Audio data which has been input into a processing system is sampled at a predetermined rate. Audio data which has been received by the processing system and which is to be output from the processing system is also sampled. Each sample of the output audio data corresponds in time to the most recent sample of the input audio data and approximates the value of the output audio data at the time the most recent sample of the input audio data was acquired. A storage device is provided for storing N samples of the input audio data and N corresponding samples of the output audio data, where N is a positive integer. N samples of the input audio data and N corresponding samples of the output audio data are stored in the storage device, such that the contents of the storage device represent both the input audio data and an approximation of corresponding output audio data during a given time interval. This combined input/output can be routed through the processing system or across a communications network to another processing system, and the echo can be ignored or removed at any point by a cancellation device.
