    摘要: In order to reduce the effect of multipath propagation, diversity antennas have been proposed in which each antenna in an array has a respective branch tapped delay line in which the tap output signals are weighted and summed. The sums then need to be combined in a way that improves the signal to noise ratio.
    A diversity antenna system is disclosed in which the branch weights W 1S to W MS are determined for each branch by:

    comparing the real part of the summed tap output signals y 1 to y M for the branch with a set level;
    ascribing a symbol value of logical zero to those summed branch tap output signals which fall to one side of the set level and ascribing a symbol value of logical one to those summed branch tap output signals which fall to the other side of the set level;
    calculating the mean of the levels of those signals ascribed the value logical zero and the mean of the levels of those signals ascribed the value logical one;
    calculating the distance between the level of each signal ascribed the value logical zero and the respective mean, and the level of each signal ascribed the value logical one and the respective mean;
    calculating the sum of the distances from the means;
    calculating the distances of the levels of all signals from the set level;
    calculating the sum of the distances of the levels of all signals from the set level;
    calculating the ratio of the sum of the distances from the means to the sum of the distances of the levels of all symbols from the set level; and
    setting the branch weight W 1S to W MS dependent on the inverse of the ratio.

    摘要: A process is disclosed for assigning channels for communications between base stations, each having an array of antennas, and mobile terminals in a cellular radio communication system. The process comprises:

    determining the approximate positions of mobile stations relative to one or more antennas;
    configuring the array of antennas at a first base station to produce a major lobe and nulls in its polar diagram, the lobe being directed at the approximate position of a first mobile terminal in the first cell;
    assigning a data communication channel between the first base station and the first mobile terminal; and
    reassigning that data channel for communications in a second cell between a second base station and a second mobile terminal at the approximate position of which the major lobe at the first base station is not directed.

    The process provides better discrimination against interferers and/or allows channels to be reassigned in closer cells than is conventional.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for channel estimation in mobile radio communications which adaptively compensates for channel distortion on a block-by-block basis. The discrete-time channel impulse response is initially estimated with a given length and then truncated by using a sliding window. A cost function associated with the window is measured as the length and position of the window is adjusted over the channel impulse response and the cost function is compared with a threshold. The invention provides means to and a method for adaptively adjusting the length of the window L T and the corresponding number of states in the equalizer, 2 L T - 1 if appropriate.

    摘要: In order to improve carry to interference ratios on the down link in mobile communications networks, it is proposed to transmit on the down link in a beam steered at the base station towards the mobile terminal. In order to do that it is necessary to know in which direction the mobile terminal is located.
    There is disclosed a method of ascribing a direction to the location of a mobile terminal from an antenna array.
    A sequence of symbols from each antenna 2 in the array, is stored. The sequence contains a known training sequence. The sequence is space processed iteratively so as to produce the effect of the array having a major lobe in its polar diagram at a plurality of different successive directions. A set of crosscorrelation metrics is derived by calculating a crosscorrelation metric for each direction between the combined signals and the known training sequence. The ratio is calculated of the crosscorrelation metric for each direction to the power of the combined signals for that direction to produce a set of direction metrics. A direction is ascribed to the mobile terminal using the direction metrics to determine which direction is most likely.

    摘要: Adaptive antennas are used to counter dispersion due to multipath propagation and interference from other stations using the same frequency. Each of the antennas in the array has a respective tapped delay line in which the tap output signals are weighted and summed. In a known theoretical proposal, the weights W are determined as follows: w = R xx   -1 r xd where R xx is the autocorrelation matrix of the input to the system and r xd is the crosscorrelation vector of the input signal and the known sequence. In practice estimates of R xx and r xd may be obtained by averaging the instantaneous matrices and vectors over the training sequence.
    A method to provide an improved estimate of R xx is disclosed in which the estimate of R xx is refined by calculating a new estimate R xx (new) = (R xx + β.I x trace(R xx )) where β is a scalar value and I is the identity matrix, and wherein successive iterations are evaluated by:

    comparing the real part of the summed tap output signals with a set level;
    ascribing a symbol value of logical zero to those summed tap output signals which fall to one side of the set level and ascribing a symbol value of logical one to those summed tap output signals which fall to the other side of the set level;
    calculating the mean of the levels of those signals ascribed the value logical zero and the mean of the levels of those signals ascribed the value logical one;
    calculating the distance between the level of each signal ascribed the value logical zero and the respective mean, and the level of each signal ascribed the value logical one and the respective mean;
    calculating the sum of the distances from the means;
    calculating the distances of the levels of all signals from the set level;
    calculating the sum of the distances of the levels of all signals from the set level;
    calculating the ratio of the sum of the distances from the means to the sum of the distances of the levels of all symbols from the set level.
