Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication receiver capable of processing the signals of both wide and narrow bands without overlapping components. SOLUTION: A spectrum part wide sufficiently for containing a wide band carrier (BW) is detected, the BW is converted to the basebands of I and Q components, and each of components has the band width of BW/2. Then, the I and Q components are further converted to I and Q components for the purposed of forming components II, IQ, QI and QQ having band width equal to BW/4 and each of sub-bands can contain one part of original transmitted information. In a wide band mode, each of components is separately processed, and the respective parts of the original transmitted information are extracted. In a narrow band mode, each of components containing information is separately processed within the transmission carrier of narrow band and the respective parts of the original transmitted information are extracted. Next, the components are coupled again and the original transmitted information is reproduced.
Abstract:
A communications receiver and a method for receiving and processing information transmitted on either a wide band carrier or a narrow band carrier having In-phase-Quadrature-phase (IQ) modulation, comprising, detecting a portion of the spectrum wide enough to encompass the wide band carrier (BW), converting the wide band carrier to baseband in I and Q components, each component having a bandwidth of BW/2, converting the I and Q components into further I and Q components to form components II, IQ QI, and QQ of bandwidth equal to BW/4, where each of the subbands may contain a portion of the originally transmitted information. Operating in wideband mode, each of the components /is separately processed to extract portions of the originally transmitted information, and operating in a narrowband mode, each of the components containing information is separately processed within the narrow band transmitted carrier to extract portions of the originally transmitted information. The components are then recombined to reconstruct the originally transmitted information.
Abstract:
A multiple mode RF communication device ( 100 ), such as a transmitter, receiver or transceiver, has a first RF communication resource ( 102, 122 ) that communicates by default using a first communication mode. A second RF communication resource ( 104, 124 ) communicates by default using a second communication mode. A system manager ( 110 ) deploys the first and second communication resources according to a set of deployment rules, wherein the deployment rules may be dependent upon a communication quality parameter, priorities, availability of the first and second communication resources as well as other parameters.
Abstract:
A method of dynamically adapting the number of available channels in a first set of available channels for use by at least one signal source in a communications system. The method includes the steps of computing at least one received signal statistic (2516, 2520, 2524, 2528, 2532); determining an adjustment to the number of available channels in the first set based on the at least one computed received signal statistic (2518, 2522, 2526, 2530, 2534, 2540); and signaling to each active signal source in the system to cause the signal sources to use the adjusted number of available channels for transmitting signals (2550).
Abstract:
A communications method including the steps of: receiving signals from at least one signal source during a first signal source transmission; estimating at least one signal source parameter based on the received signals during the first signal source transmission; receiving signals from at least one signal source during a second signal source transmission; and determining a difference between the first and second signal source transmissions using the at least one estimated signal source parameter.
Abstract:
A communications method including the steps of: activating a plurality of signal sources, and transmitting a synchronization event to the plurality of signal sources to cause the plurality of signal sources to simultaneously transmit data in response to the synchronization event.
