Abstract
The invention is related to a data frame, particularly to a data frame configured to be received and processed by an RF-transceiver and a data frame structure. The invention is also related to a method for controlling an RF-transceiver.
Claims24
A data frame configured for reception and processing by an RF-transceiver, wherein the RF-transceiver comprises a plurality of selectable operating states, wherein some of the plurality of operating states the RF-transceiver is configured to transmit and receive signals according to at least one mobile communication standard,
- the data frame comprising:
- a command field;
- and
- a parameter field,
- wherein the command field comprises a command configured to specify a transition from a first operating state to at least one second subsequent operating state out of the plurality of selectable operating states, and
- wherein the parameter field comprises a plurality of parameters configured to define the at least one second subsequent operating state.
A telegram, comprising:
- a payload field comprising a first portion and a second portion, and wherein the first portion comprises a macro-code command configured to be processed in an RF-transceiver device and configured to specify at least a first operation mode out of a plurality of operation modes of the RF-transceiver device, and
- wherein the second portion comprises a plurality of parameters, wherein at least one first parameter of the plurality of parameters is configured to define a duration for a first operation mode and at least a second parameter of the plurality of parameters is configured to define a condition of the RF-transceiver chip after expiration of the duration.
A method for controlling a RF-transceiver, comprising:
- transmitting a telegram, the telegram comprising a command field and a parameter field, the command field comprising a command specifying an operating state of the RF-transceiver or a transition between a first operating state and at least one second operating state of the RF-transceiver, the parameter field comprising a plurality of parameters specifying the operating state or the at least one second operating state;
- receiving the telegram by the RF-transceiver;
- processing the command within the command field and the plurality of parameters within the parameter field;
- transmitting an initializing packet;
- receiving said initializing packet by the RF-transceiver;
- selecting the operating state as specified in the telegram or switching from the first operating state to the at least one second operating state as specified in the telegram in response to the initializing packet.
A communication system, comprising:
- an RF-transceiver comprising a plurality of sub-circuits, wherein at least one sub-circuits is adjustable in response to a control signal, and wherein the plurality of sub-circuits are configured to transmit and receive RF-signals, and
- a baseband device configured to generate digital baseband signals according at least one mobile communication standard, wherein the RF-transceiver and the baseband device are coupled through a digital interface and each comprise a control circuit, wherein each control circuit is configured to exchange a telegram wherein the telegram comprises:
- a payload field comprising a first portion and a second portion, and wherein the first portion comprises a macro-code command configured to be processed in an RF-transceiver device and configured to specify at least a first operation mode out of a plurality of operation modes of the RF-transceiver device, and
- wherein the second portion comprises a plurality of parameters, wherein at least one first parameter of the plurality of parameters is configured to define a duration for a first operation mode and at least a second parameter of the plurality of parameters is configured to define a condition of the RF-transceiver chip after expiration of the duration
