摘要:
An amplifier circuit (40) for providing an amplified signal in response to an input signal. The amplifier circuit (40) includes an input network (44) for applying the input signal to a selected at least one of a plurality of amplifier stages. An output network (48) is provided for coupling the amplified signal from the selected at least one amplifier stage. The appropriate amplifier stage is selected by a control circuit (56) in response to a desired power value of the amplified signal. By selectively activating only the amplifier stage(s) that are necessary to provide the desired level of output power, increased DC efficiency can be accomplished in applications that require an amplifier which operates linearly over a wide dynamic range.

A method and apparatus for controlling transmission power in a mobile communication system is disclosed. The method disclosed provides for a closed-loop power control method. A mobile station (30) provides information on the quality of the signal received from the base station (50), and the base station (50) responds by adjusting the power allocated to that user in a shared base station signal. The transmission power is adjusted initially by a large increment and then ramped down at an increasingly decreasing rate. The mobile station (30) also provides information to the base station (50) as to its relative velocity and the base station (50) adjusts its transmission power in accordance with this velocity information.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for identifying remote communications transmitted via a repeater from remote communications not transmitted via the repeater. The method comprises the steps of receiving a plurality of signal transmissions originating from a plurality of remote stations, wherein each of the signal transmissions is associated with a call originating from one of the plurality of remote stations; processing the plurality of received signal transmissions to identify received transmissions that include a discriminant applied by a repeater; and designating each of the plurality of received signal transmissions as being transmitted via the repeater if the received signal transmission includes the discriminant.

A method and apparatus for performing inter-system hard handoff between communication systems or inter-frequency hard handoff within a CDMA communication system is disclosed. The purpose of this invention is to reduce the probability of dropped calls during inter-system hard handoff. In the event that a hard handoff attempt is unsuccessful, the mobile station will return to the original system with information which the communication system of the present invention uses to assist in the performance of future handoff attempts. Alternatively, with no handoff attempt made, the mobile station monitors the destination system then returns to the original system with information used to assist in subsequent handoff attempts. The information returned from monitoring a CDMA system consists of results of a search for one or more pilots given at offsets in a specific list provided to the mobile station by the base station or a set of offsets based upon a predetermined search algorithm.

Systems and techniques for adaptive interference filtering in a communications device are disclosed. The communications device may include a transmitter, a receiver, a duplexer coupled to the transmitter and the receiver, and an adaptive filter disposed between the duplexer and the receiver. A processor may be configured to monitor cross modulation in the receiver between transmitter leakage through the duplexer and a jammer, and adapt the filter to vary its transmit signal rejection as a function of the cross modulation.

摘要:
A method and an apparatus for controlling transmission power in a variable rate communication system. A base station (30) monitors the reverse link signal transmitted from a mobile station (50). Base station (30) determines whether mobile station (50) should increase or decrease its power based either upon frame error rates detected by a decoder (44) or by the level of received signal power detected at a receiver (42). In response to this analysis, a control processor (46) generates a power control signal and transmits this signal to mobile station (30).
