Opportunistic Muting Of All-Digital Stations During Noisy Acquisition - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240297725 titled 'Opportunistic Muting Of All-Digital Stations During Noisy Acquisition
The method described in the abstract of a patent application involves a radio receiver receiving digital radio broadcast signals on different frequency channels, identifying which signals are all-digital, tuning to a specific signal upon receiving a tune command, playing muted audio if the signal is all-digital, tuning to the signal based on the command, acquiring the digital signal, demodulating it to recover digital audio, and switching from muted audio to playing the recovered audio.

Original Abstract Submitted
a method performed by a radio receiver comprises: receiving digital radio broadcast (drb) signals on respective frequency channels: acquiring a list that identifies which of the drb signals are all-digital signals: receiving a tune command to tune to a particular drb signal among the drb signals; and upon determining that the particular drb signal is an all-digital signal based on the list: playing muted audio: while playing muted audio, tuning to the particular drb signal based on the tune command and performing digital signal acquisition of the particular drb signal; and when the digital signal acquisition is complete, performing digital demodulation of the particular drb signal to recover digital audio, and switching from playing muted audio to playing digital audio.
