QUALCOMM Assigned Patent for System Determination Emulator for Analysis and Testing


(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) By Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 10 -- QUALCOMM, San Diego, has been assigned a patent (8,351,342) developed by four co-inventors for a "system determination emulator for analysis and testing." The co-inventors are Rajeev D. Rajan, San Diego, Andrew T. Hunter, San Diego, Rotem Cooper, San Diego, and Tomas Galvez Santaella, Boulogne-Billancourt, France.



The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A roaming emulator provides a tool for emulating system determination for monitoring the operation of a wireless communication device (WCD) during system determination. A signal monitoring program and service selection protocol are stored, and a signal emulation module provides a signal emulation output in accordance with a predetermined set of data. A processing module performs a simulation of a service selection procedure based on the service selection protocol and performed in accordance with the signal monitoring program and the signal emulation output. A result of the service selection is provided by an output module. The emulator can provide emulated system scanning based on geographical or market location, and can emulate scenarios when channels from neighboring systems or markets "bleed" into the RF environment of the WCD." The patent application was filed on June 23, 2006 (11/474,248).
