Abstract: The technique of amplifier sharing is implemented in a system designed to accommodate transmit diversity. In one embodiment of the invention, the amplifiers (670 and 675) are shared 1) to amplify a first and a second diversity- encoded signal, each of which represents the information of a first signal that is to be transmitted using transmit diversity, and 2) to amplify a second signal t o be transmitted without using transmit diversity. The first and second diversity - encoded signals are used to form a first and a second composite signal. Each composi te signal is amplified in a different one of two power amplifiers (670 and 675) . Each amplified composite signal is then used to form an amplified first diversity - encoded signal and an amplified second diversity-encoded signal. The first and secon d composite signals can also be formed using the second signal. Each composite signal is then amplified in a different one of the two power amplifiers (670 and 675) and the two amplified composite signals are used to form an amplified second signal. In another embodiment of the invention, the first and second composi te signals can be formed in the digital domain. Each composite signal is digitally pre- distorted and then modulated onto a transmission frequency signal, such as a n RF signal. Each pre-distorted composite signal is then amplified in the respective amplifier (670 and 675).

Abstract: Improved techniques for characterizing, adjusting and optimizing the overall performance of a wireless network. In an illustrative embodiment, the overall network performance for a particular network configuration is characterized by a vector with two components, one representing network coverage and another representing network capacity. Network coverage is defined by the likelihood of service under load, including interference, and may be further weighted by traffic density. Network capacity is defined by an amount of traffic with a given spatial distribution that can be served at a given overall target-blocking rate. The overall network performance may be characterized using a two-dimensional capacity/coverage diagram which plots overall network performance vectors, each including a network capacity component and a network coverage component, for various network configurations. The overall network performance may be improved or optimized with respect to a given subset of network parameters by using an algorithm that proposes potential network configurations and evaluates them with respect to their overall network performance.

Abstract: A signal notching system reduces signal peaks by notching the peak of a signal above a threshold to produce a notched signal. The notched signal is then filtered to produce a resulting signal with a reduced peak amplitude. For example, in an implementation where the signal is represented by signal samples, the peak notching system first locates a peak sample that is beyond a threshold, such as a sample representing a positive peak sample of a peak above the threshold. Once a peak sample is located, the peak notching system adjusts the peak sample by an amount which is a function of the amount that the peak sample is beyond the threshold, effectively creating a notched signal with a one sample notch at the peak. The peak notching system filters the notched signal to fill in the notch to produce a signal with a reduced peak.

Abstract: A signal amplification system involves decomposing a signal into two or mo re parts, amplifying the parts and then combining the amplified parts to produc e the amplified signal. The decomposition can be done such that the resulting part s have characteristics that are amenable to efficient amplification. For example, decomposition of the signal to be amplified can be done using at least one threshold. The first part of the signal to be amplified can be formed by the portion of the signal within the threshold. As such, because the first part forms a signal with a lower PAR, the first part of the signal can be amplified more efficiently than the original signal. The second part of the signal can be formed by the portion of the original signal beyond the threshold. Because the second part is mostly zero, the second par t can also be amplified efficiently, for example with a class C type amplifier whi ch does not dissipate any energy when the input signal is zero.

Abstract: The wireless communication system includes antennas having electrically controllable downtilt angles and downtilt controllers associated with each antenna. The downtilt controllers receive instructions from a main controller, and adjust the downtilt angles of the associated antennas in accordance with the received instructions.
