Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for controlling performance in a radio base station communicating in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode in a cellular network. The radio base station has a transceiver comprising a transmitter part, a receiver part, and an antenna, the antenna being alternately connectable to the transmitter part and the receiver part. The method comprises: estimating, at the receiver part, a leakage signal in the receiver part, the leakage signal originating from a local oscillator of the transmitter part; and removing, at the receiver part, the estimated leakage signal from a received uplink signal. The present invention also relates to a corresponding radio base station.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for antenna calibration have been disclosed. A radio unit (510) is provided. The radio unit (510) may comprise: a plurality of transmit/receive (TX/RX) paths; a plurality of radio frequency (RF) ports (512) connected with the plurality of TX/RX paths; and a coupling unit (516), coupled with the plurality of TX/RX paths and configured to inject an uplink (UL) calibration signal (550) into at least one of the plurality of TX/RX paths and extract a downlink (DL) calibration signal (540) from at least one of the plurality of TX/RX paths. A normal TX/RX path may be reused both for antenna calibration and antenna supervision. Thus, a low cost hardware solution for antenna calibration is provided. An AIR base station (500) comprising such radio unit (510) is also provided.
Abstract:
Embodiments provides a radio network entity and the method thereof for improving filtering performance in a time division duplexing radio communication system, the radio network entity comprises: a first filter, which is configured to perform a first type of filtering for a signal to be transmitted to, or received from a device in the radio communication system through a radio interface, with a common filtering requirement for transmitting and receiving fulfilled,a second filter, which is configured to perform a second type of filtering for the signal to be transmitted to the device, with additional filtering requirement for transmitting besides the common filtering requirement fulfilled; and a third filter, which is configured to perform a third type of filtering for the signal received from the device, with additional filtering requirement for receiving besides the common filtering requirement fulfilled.
