Abstract
A method for suppressing interference in an integrated communication/computing device is disclosed. First, an interrupt signal is sent from a transceiver to a computing device when the transceiver is about to transmit or receive information. In response to the interrupt signal, the computing device stacks current status and enters an interrupt routine. The computing device is then released from the interrupt routine after the information has been transmitted or received.
Claims26
A method for suppressing interference in an integrated communication/computing device, comprising the steps of:
- sending an interrupt signal to a computing device from a transceiver when said transceiver is about to transmit or receive information over a communication channel having a defined timing;
- entering an interrupt routine at the computing device in response to the interrupt signal at times that corresponds to the defined timing of the communication channel;
- and
- releasing said computing device from the interrupt routine after the information has been transmitted or received.
An integrated communication/computing device comprising:
- a transceiver for transmitting and receiving information over a communication channel having a defined timing;
- a processing means for processing data;
- an interrupt means for interrupting the operation of said processing means when said transceiver is about to transmit or receive information, wherein said processing means enters an interrupt mode at times that corresponds to the defined timing of the communication channel;
- and
- means for restoring the operation of said processing means after said transceiver has finished transmitting or receiving said information.
