Abstract
A method for maintaining timing across discontinuous activity gaps for a non-real time data interface, in a radio frequency (RF) IC is disclosed. The method comprises starting a first receive mode in the RF IC to receive analog RF signalsin response to receiving a first command from a base band (BB) IC, converting the analog RF signalsinto a first stream of digital data samples, and transmittingthe samples to the BB IC. Next, the RF IC stops the first receive modein response to receiving a second command from the BB IC and transmitsdummy data samples to the BB IC. Then the RF IC re-starts the first receive modein response to receiving a third command from the BB IC, converts analog RF signals received by the first receive mode into a second stream of digital data samples, and transmits the samples to the BB IC
