In a mobile communications system, its power consumption and time required for a mobile station to carry out neighboring cell search are reduced, and the complicated process involved in system design and management is simplified. A method is proposed of searching for a neighboring cell by using grouped channel identifiers sent from the sectors to the mobile station in the mobile communications system that allows the mobile station communicating with a plurality of base stations to decide sectors the mobile station waits for or communicates with. It includes the step of assigning channel identifiers belonging to the same group to sectors of the same base station, and the step of sending from the base station to the visiting mobile station a notification of anyone of the channel identifiers assigned to the sectors of one of neighboring base stations.

A control circuit is employed for controlling a wireless power receiving apparatus that receives an electric power signal from a wireless power transmission apparatus. An electric power detection unit detects the received electric power P_RX received by the wireless power receiving apparatus. A control unit generates a control signal CE for controlling the electric power P_TX to be transmitted by the wireless power transmission apparatus. When the received electric power P_RX detected by the electric power detection unit falls despite the control signal CE not indicating an instruction to lower the electric power P_TX to be transmitted, an abnormal state judgment unit judges that an abnormal state has occurred.

A positive counter starts counting, starting with an initial value, upon receiving a positive edge of a dimming pulse signal. A negative edge counter starts counting, starting with an initial value, upon receiving a negative edge of the dimming pulse signal. For each i-th (2≦i≦n) channel, the phase shift amount is calculated by multiplying a period count value that indicates the period of the dimming pulse signal by (i−1)/n. When the count value matches the phase shift amount, a burst control signal is switched to a first level. When the count value matches the phase shift amount, the burst control signal is switched to a second level.

The present invention is a project management tool uniquely suited to define and develop significant system events that can be effectively used as system test points to measure the performance and determine whether the system under design is meeting key design requirements. This methodology utilizes Synch Points in a state diagram to provide a directed graph notation and to generate a system timeline execution model automatically. The state diagram provides an improved means to decompose system event times into mechanical motion times, move transition latency times, and application software latency times. The system timeline execution model data is fed into a simulation engine to verify that the system timeline execution model is executable and confirms the dependencies are complete and accurate.

In an optical transmission system, operations of certain elements are adjusted in an individualized manner after detecting a change in the total optical power level corresponding to multiple optical channels in a link of the system in order to control transients in those channels. For example, in response to a sudden drop in the number of channels resulting from a fiber cut, the power levels of the optical pumps in a Raman amplifier in an OADM are adjusted to reduce transient gain errors in the surviving channels, where the adjustment to the pump power level for each different optical pump is a function of both the detected change in the total optical power level and at least one specified coefficient for that particular optical pump, in order to handle non-linearities in the response of the Raman amplifier to the sudden drop in the number of optical channels.

A base station may include an interface section, a master receive processor, and a slave receive processor. An interface section may receive data from a higher rank station in the mobile communication system, the data may be received over a leased line. The master receive processor may receive the data from the higher rank station, determine whether the data from the higher rank station includes information destined for the base station, and terminate the data at the base station when the data from the higher rank station is determined to include information destined for the base station. The slave receive processor may receive the data from the higher rank station, determine whether the data from the higher rank station includes information destined for another base station, and transmit, over the leased line, the data to the another base station when the data from the higher rank station is determined to include information destined for the another base station.

A system and method for protecting register write operations, especially register write operations performed in a USB PHY. A USB transmitter/receiver, operable to receive a register write command from a USB LINK device, may monitor the write sequence initiated by the register write command to determine if/when the register write sequence has been interrupted. In monitoring the register write sequence, the USB transmitter/receiver is operable to discard the register write command if a DIR signal issued by the USB transmitter/receiver is asserted during the register write sequence and/or if an STP signal received by the USB transmitter/receiver is asserted during the register write sequence, where STP may be part of a normal register write operation. The USB transmitter/receiver is further operable to allow the register write sequence to complete if the STP signal and the DIR signal are not asserted during a predetermined period of the register write sequence. The monitoring functions may be implemented in a finite state machine comprised in the USB transmitter/receiver.

A microprocessor has a register in which attributive data corresponding to a memory to be coupled to the microprocessor is written, and a control circuit which controls address signals to be supplied to the memory in accordance with the attributive data. The attributive data is composed of range data for discriminating ranges of address data supplied to an address bus, system data indicative of addressing systems of the memories corresponding to the respective address ranges, and bit number data indicative of numbers of address bits of the memories. Thus, in a case where the memory to be accessed is of an address multiplexing system as in a dynamic RAM, the address data of the address bus is divided into row address data and column address data, which are then supplied to the memory in time division.
