摘要:
Systems and methods of pre-allocating identifiers to wireless devices for use in requesting resources over a random access channel are described. A wireless communication system includes a random access channel over which wireless devices can anonymously send requests for resources. The base stations receiving and processing the anonymous requests reduces the probability of random access channel collisions and conserves the resources needed to support the anonymous requests by pre-allocating one or more codes to select wireless devices. The wireless devices having the pre-allocated codes can transmit a particular code over the random access channel as a request for resources that uniquely identifies the requestor.

A wireless microphone system broadcasts a pilot tone at the designated ATSC pilot position in the TV Band channel being used by the wireless microphone system. The pilot tone is a readily detectable waveform transmitted in the ATSC pilot position. The pilot tone can be generated by any one of: a standalone pilot tone generator; a pilot tone generator incorporated into a wireless microphone receiver; or, a pilot tone generator incorporated into a wireless microphone.

A radio frequency front end for a television band receiver and spectrum sensor includes a first plurality of adaptive matching networks connected to a signal summer that combines signals received by the first plurality of antennas respectively connected to the first plurality of adaptive matching networks and outputs a combined signal to each of a second plurality of downconverter/tuners. The downconverter/tuners are respectively or collectively connected to an analog to digital converter that converts output of the second plurality of downconverter/tuners into at least one digital signal that is output to the television band receiver and spectrum sensor.

A television band device has DTV pilot signal detection logic that generates DTV pilot signal detection decisions associated with a monitored television channel. A wireless microphone detection logic generates wireless microphone detection decisions associated with the monitored television channel. A sensing manager receives DTV pilot signal detection decisions and the wireless microphone detection decisions and analyzes at least one the respective decisions to determine whether the monitored television channel is available white space.
摘要:
A technique for maintaining a predefined transmission quality in a wireless Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). Each of a plurality of Local Area Networks are coupled to a corresponding router. Each router is coupled to one or more transceivers for interconnecting the routers via wireless links. Each router stores a table representative of the topology of the MAN and receives detected indicia representative of the quality of the wireless links and representative of network traffic loads. The router adapts the manner of transmission and the path of transmission according to the indicia. As a result, the MAN is highly efficient, in terms of cost, power and bandwidth utilisation. For example, a strength of a signal received over a wireless communication link is periodically monitored for maintaining the strength within a predefined range by adjusting the transmission power.; In addition, an error rate for the data received over the link is monitored. If the received signal strength remains below the predefined range despite the transmit power having been adjusted to a maximum allowable level, and if the error rate approaches a predefined limit, one or more techniques are selectively employed to reduce the error rate while maintaining a sufficiently high network throughput. The adaptive techniques include changing the data rate, modulation level, error correction coding, and spectrum spreading. In addition, a path for the data is preferably selected according to an Open-Shortest-Path-First algorithm, though one or more alternate paths can be selected for transmitting at least a portion of the data.
