Methods And Apparatus For Controlling A Gain State Of A Wireless Receiver Operating In An Mode
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a gain state of a wireless receiver, the method comprising the steps of:
- causing the wireless receiver to enter into a sleep mode;
causing the wireless receiver to exit from the sleep mode and enter into a wake-up period;
providing, via a multiplexer, a stored gain control state value to the wireless receiver for use during a warm-up period of the wake-up period, the stored gain control state value being previously read from a gain controller during a previous wake-up period of the wireless receiver; and
after the warm-up period of the wake up period, providing, via the multiplexer, a current gain control state value from the gain controller to the wireless receiver for use during the wake up period, the current gain control state value being based on a signal level of a currently-received signal in the wireless receiver.

Abstract
Techniques for controlling a gain state of a wireless receiver involve causing the wireless receiver to enter into a sleep mode; causing the wireless receiver to exit from the sleep mode and enter into a wake-up period; providing, via a multiplexer, a stored gain control state value to the wireless receiver for use during a warm-up period of the wake-up period, the stored gain control state value being previously read from a gain controller during a previous wake-up period of the wireless receiver; and after the warm-up period of the wake up period, providing, via the multiplexer, a current gain control state value from the gain controller to the wireless receiver for use during the wake up period, the current gain control state value being based on a signal level of a currently-received signal in the wireless receiver.

10. A circuit for a receiver, comprising:
-
a processor; memory coupled to the processor; an amplifier configured to amplify radio frequency (RF) signals in the wireless receiver; a level detector configured to detect a signal level of the RF signals; a gain controller configured to provide a gain control state value in response to the signal level; a multiplexer having an output for providing a gain control input to the amplifier; and the processor being configured to; cause the receiver to enter into a sleep mode; cause the receiver to exit from the sleep mode and enter into a wake-up period; provide, via the multiplexer, a stored gain control state value from the memory to the amplifier for use during a warm-up period of the wake-up period, the stored gain control state value being read from the gain controller and stored in the memory during a previous wake-up period of the receiver; and after the warm-up period of the wake up period, provide, via the multiplexer, a current gain control state value from the gain controller to the amplifier for use during the wake up period, the current gain control state value being based on the signal level of a currently-received signal in the receiver. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A mobile station, comprising:
-
a processor; memory coupled to the processor; a receiver configured to receive radio frequency (RF) signals; an amplifier of the receiver which is configured to amplify the RF signals; a level detector configured to detect a signal level of the RF signals; a gain controller configured to provide a gain control state value at an output in response to the signal level; a multiplexer having an output coupled to a gain control input to the amplifier; the processor being configured to; cause the receiver to enter into a sleep mode; cause the receiver to exit from the sleep mode and enter into a wake-up period; provide, via the multiplexer, a stored gain control state value from the memory to the amplifier for use during a warm-up period of the wake-up period, the stored gain control state value being read from the gain controller and stored in the memory during a previous wake-up period of the receiver; and after the warm-up period of the wake up period, provide, via the multiplexer, a current gain control state value from the gain controller to the amplifier for use during the wake up period, the current gain control state value being based on the signal level of a currently-received signal in the receiver. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
