Abstract:
A communication device (202) converts a bit stream to multiple symbols and provides encryption at a physical layer by shifting a phase of each symbol of the multiple symbols to produce multiple encrypted symbols. Each encrypted symbol of the multiple encrypted symbols is modulated with an orthogonal (214) subcarrier to produce at least one modulated subcarrier and the at least one modulated subcarrier is then transmitted (278) via a wireless link. On a receive side (260), a receiving (260) communication device (250) receives the transmitted (230), encrypted symbols and provides decryption at a physical layer by shifting a phase of each encrypted symbol in correspondence with the phase (234) used to encrypt the symbol at the transmit side.
Abstract:
In a hybrid matrix amplifier array (100), a configurable digital transform matrix (116) is initialize with a matrix of transform coefficients. A plurality of digital input signals (M1-M4) are received at inputs of the configurable digital transform matrix (116). The plurality of digital input signals are transformed to produce a plurality of transform digital signals (A1-A4) using the matrix of transform coefficients. The plurality of transform digital signals are converted to a plurality of transformed analoged signals (206) to produce a plurality of transformed analog signals. The transformed analog signals are amplified (104, 208) to produce amplified transformed signals. Finally, the amplified transformed signals are inverse transformed (102, 210) to produce output signals that correspond to a respective digital input signal (M1-M4). Upon sensing a failure in an amplifier array (104,126) a controller (128) recalls matrix transform coefficients from a memory (130) and write and reconfigures the digital transform matrix (116) to minimize the effects of the amplifier failure at the hybrid matrix amplifier outputs (132).

Abstract:
A multi-channel digital transceiver (400) receives uplink radio frequency signals and converts these signals to digital intermediate frequency signals. Digital signal processing, including a digital converter module (426), is employed to select digital intermediate frequency signals received at a plurality of antennas (412) and to convert these signals to baseband signals. The baseband signals are processed to recover a communication channel therefrom. Downlink baseband signals are also processed and digital signal processing within the digital converter module (426) up converters and modulates the downlink baseband signals to digital intermediate frequency signals. The digital intermediate frequency signals are converted to analog radio frequency signals, amplified and radiated from transmit antennas (420).

A method (700) and a base station controller (120) for operating in accordance with a wireless communication protocol are described herein. In a wireless communication system (100), the base station controller (120) may detect that the mobile station (160) is operable in accordance with the wireless communication protocol based on information associated with the mobile station. In response to detecting at least one of condition of the system (100) suggesting a potential for improved system performance, the base station controller (120) may transmit a handoff message from the first base station (140) to the mobile station (160). The handoff message may notify the mobile station (160) to operate in accordance with the wireless communication protocol.
