1. A communication device comprising:
- an on-chip gyrating circuit that generates a motion parameter based on motion of the communication device;
an RF transceiver that generates an outbound RF signal from an outbound symbol stream, that transmits the outbound RF signal to a remote station of a wireless network, and that generates an inbound symbol stream from an inbound RF signal received from the remote station; and
a processing module coupled to process the motion parameter to produce motion data, to convert outbound data into the outbound symbol stream, and to convert the inbound symbol stream into inbound data, to compare current motion data to past motion data, to detect when a difference between the current motion data and the past motion data compares unfavorably to a motion change threshold, and to include the motion data in the outbound data when the difference between the current motion data and the past motion data compares unfavorably to the motion change threshold and wherein the motion data further includes an indication that the communication device is a mobile device.

Abstract
A device includes an on-chip gyrating circuit that generates a motion parameter based on motion of the device. An RF transceiver generates an outbound RF signal from an outbound symbol stream, transmits the outbound RF signal to a remote station of a wireless network, and generates an inbound symbol stream from an inbound RF signal received from the at least one remote station. A processing module is coupled to process the motion parameter to produce motion data, to convert outbound data into the outbound symbol stream, and to convert the inbound symbol stream into inbound data, wherein the outbound data includes the motion data.

12. A method for use in a device, the method comprising:
-
generating a motion parameter based on motion of the device using an on-chip gyrating circuit; generating inbound data from an inbound RF signal received from the remote station; processing the motion parameter to produce the motion data, detecting when a difference between current motion data and past motion data compares unfavorably to a motion change threshold; generating outbound data that includes the motion data in response to the request for motion data when the difference between the current motion data and the past motion data compares unfavorably to the motion change threshold; generating an outbound RF signal from outbound data; and transmitting the outbound RF signal to the remote station. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
