Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the location of a communication unit in a CDMA system includes in a first embodiment, sending a location request via a spread spectrum signal to the subscriber (140), and receiving in return a subscriber signal including a response message showing a receive time of a particular symbol of the base's spreading sequence and a transmit time of a particular symbol of the subscriber's spreading sequence. The base (130), along with other receiving base(s) (140), also receives a predetermined symbol of the subscriber spreading sequence, and each determines a respective receive time of the predetermined symbol. The received information is then processed, along with known base location and delay information, to determine the subscriber location. If insufficient number of bases are capable of communicating with the subscriber, for example due to high loading/interference, auxiliary bases (121) are also provided for receiving from or transmitting to the subscriber.

Abstract: A method for determining a subscriber unit location in a communication system including the steps of receiving a signal from the subscriber unit (1390) at a first base station, determining a first receive time of the signal based on a sequence of spreading symbols at the first base station, determining a first angle of arrival of the signal at the first base station, and determining the location of the subscriber unit from the first received time, the first angle of arrival, and further predetermined information about the first base station. The signal is formed via modulation by the sequence of spreading symbols.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication system planning includes, in a first embodiment, determining an image tree (500), based on a transmitter location (401) and the reflective (415) and diffractive (425) surfaces within a coverage region, and limiting the image tree to exclude branching for higher order images requiring more than a predetermined number of reflections and/or diffractions, or potential child images corresponding to surfaces not within the scope of the parent image (530, 560). Based on the image tree and propagation path back-tracing (620) a received signal quality measure (e.g., power) is determined for each transmit location. By comparing the different received signal powers an optimal receiver unit location is determined. Further, by back-tracing for further antenna locations/combinations, and comparing for diversity effects (864, 865), overall coverage qualities can be determined for each antenna combination and compared to yield optimal base diversity antenna locations (867).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a characteristic of a fading signal received using a two or more branch diversity receiver is presented. This fading characteristic is generally proportional to the speed of the user. In a first embodiment the number of times the antenna branches change in a selection diversity process is counted, and the result is scaled for imbalance between the branches. The output of a fading quality estimator, indicative of the fading and generally proportional to the speed, is thereby obtained.
