Abstract:
In a digital communication system in which pulse-shape filtered sync (202), pilot (203), and data symbols (201), arranged in successive time slots, modulate sub-channel carriers (309) via sub-channel mixers (308) to form sub-channel symbol streams for combination into a composite signal for transmission, deterministic portions of each time slot are rendered identical by determining phase difference of sub-channel carriers and rotating the phase of each sub-channel symbol stream by an amount equal to the phase difference, but with opposite sign.
Abstract:
The ratio of peak power level to average power level (500) in a power amplifier used in a QAM communication system transmitter (100) can be reduced by preselecting magnitudes and phase angles of complex-valued pilot symbols (103-106) used in multi-channel (111-116), N-level QAM.
Abstract:
Dans un système de communication numérique, dans lequel des symboles de synchronisation (202), pilotes (203) et de données (201), filtrés et en forme d'impulsions, et disposés dans des tranches de temps successifs, modulent des porteurs de sous-voie (309) par l'intermédiaire de mélangeurs de sous-voie (308) afin de constituer des suites de symboles de sous-voie devant être combinés en un signal composite pour la transmission, des parties déterminantes de chaque tranche de temps sont rendues identiques lorsque la différence de phase des porteurs de sous-voie est déterminée et que la phase de chaque suite de symboles de sous-voie subit une rotation d'un ordre équivalent à la différence de phase, mais précédé du signe opposé.
Abstract:
Le rapport niveau de puissance de crête/niveau de puissance moyenne (500), dans un amplificateur de puissance utilisé dans un émetteur (100) d'un système de communication à modulation d'amplitude en quadrature (QAM), peut être réduit par une présélection des amplitudes et des angles de phase de symboles pilotes à valeurs complexes (103-106) utilisés dans un système QAM multi-canaux (111-116) à N niveaux.
Abstract:
The figure shows a base site (104) generating a pseudo-random signal based on at least one system parameter known to both the base site (104) and a communication unit (112). The base site transmitter (106) then transmits the pseudo-random signal to the communication unit via an idle communication resource (102). Upon receiving the pseudo-random signal by the receiver (114) of the communication unit (112) determines at least one characteristic of the idle communication resource (102) using the pseudo-random signal.
Abstract:
Procédé d'utilisation de la réception en diversité pour contrer les effets sur un signal d'information transmis de l'évanouissement de canaux. On calcule des estimations du gain de canal complexe dans des voies de réception en diversité (601, 602, 603) à partir de symboles pilotes (201) introduits épisodiquement dans le train transmis (202) de symboles d'information. On totalise (605) des échantillons pondérés et à phase corrigée prélevés dans les voies de diversité avant le processus de décision (606). On additionne (604) les amplitudes élevées au carré des gains de canal des voies de diversité pour donner le réglage correct du seuil.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for improving the communication coverage in a multi-cell communication system (100) which employs neighbor cell lists. A cell site (114) provides a communication unit (128) within its cell (112) with communication and a neighbor cell list. The neighbor cell list (200) informs the communication unit of other cells which are possible hand-off targets. When the fixed network equipment (FNE) detects that a particular communication unit (128) has entered another cell and/or needs to hand-off its communication to another cell site but has been denied, the cell site (114) sends the communication unit the neighbor cell list related to the new cell. With a new neighbor cell list (300), the communication unit (128) can now attempt to maintain its communication by handing-off to cells unknown before. In this manner the effective communication coverage of the system is improved.

Abstract:
Signals exchanged between a fixed infrastructure (110-116) and a mobile unit (160) give rise to M channel quality metrics. The channel quality metrics are mapped, via predetermined relationships (501-503), into M corresponding time of arrival variances, which in turn are used to derive M-1 time of arrival differential variances. A time of arrival differential weighting matrix including, in part, the time of arrival differential variances, is used to calculate a WLS solution, which solution is an estimate of a location of the mobile unit. This procedure may be implemented using an infrastructure-based location processor (130) operating in conjunction with the mobile unit, or may be performed by either the location processor or mobile unit alone.
