JURISDICTION BASED PARAMETER SETTING FOR WIRELESS TRANSCEIVERS

摘要

Low cost semiconductor manufacturing techniques have provided consumers with a wide range of electronic devices supporting communications according to multiple standards. These electronic devices will be deployed within many operational jurisdictions, particularly with roaming features, such as Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and North America. However, operational compliance requirements can vary substantially with these different jurisdictions. Current electronic devices are designed, manufactured, calibrated and operated according to a specification providing compliance with broad range of operational jurisdictions despite the performance limitations this applies in many of the operational jurisdictions. Accordingly, there is provided a method of dynamically configuring the electronic device based upon a geographically based determination of the operational jurisdiction from global navigation systems data received by the electronic device. Based upon the determined operational jurisdiction, the operational parameters of a device's communication interfaces are adjusted for improving performance and efficiency of the device within these jurisdictions.

主权项

1. A method to configure a wireless electronic device for jurisdiction compliance, the method comprising:
receiving a first location signal from a wireless receiver configured to periodically receive location signals indicative of a physical location of the wireless receiver; determining an operational jurisdiction based on the first location signal; and delaying processing of a second location signal received by the wireless receiver by an adjustable amount based on the physical location of the wireless receiver as indicated by the first location signal.
