    摘要: An antenna array of a base station is calibrated using outbound traffic signals. The outbound traffic signals are captured for use as reference signals before the outbound traffic signals enter transmit paths in a radio unit of the base station. The outbound traffic signals are captured for use as a feedback after the outbound traffic signals exit the transmit paths. Each of the reference signals is one of the outbound traffic signals to be transmitted. An impairment estimator estimates the impairment for each of the outbound traffic signals based on the feedback signal and the reference signals. For each transmit path, a set of weights of an all-pass filter is determined, where the all-pass filter has a frequency response that approximates the impairment estimation in an occupied frequency region where reference signal power is above a threshold. The set of weights is inversed to obtain equalizer taps for each of the transmit paths.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing random access in a cellular communications network are disclosed. In general, the cellular communications network is an Orthogonal Frequency Division Modulation (OFDM) based cellular communications network (e.g., a 3 GPP LTE cellular communications network) or similar multi-subcarrier based cellular communications network. Random access is performed using a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) including subcarriers having a subcarrier frequency spacing that is equal to a subcarrier frequency spacing in one or more other channels of the uplink (e.g., a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)). As a result, the subcarriers in the PRACH are orthogonal to the subcarriers in the other channel(s) of the uplink, which in turn reduces, or substantially eliminates, interference between the PRACH subcarriers and the subcarriers of the other channel(s) of the uplink.

    摘要: Embodiments of a system for a multi-sector base station in a cellular communications network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes an integrated unit, where the integrated unit includes multiple antennas and a radio unit (RU) coupled to the antennas. By integrating the multiple antennas and the radio RU into a single integrated unit, the system can, in some embodiments, reduce installation and operating costs of the multi-sector base station.

    摘要: An antenna array of a base station is calibrated using outbound traffic signals. The antenna array includes a number of sub-arrays. A combiner in the antenna array combines the outbound traffic signals in the sub-arrays into a feedback signal. The outbound traffic signals are captured simultaneously for use as reference signals before the outbound traffic signals enter transmit paths in a radio unit of the base station. Each of the reference signals is one of the outbound traffic signals that is to be transmitted via one of the sub-arrays. An impairment estimator of the base station estimates the impairment for each of the outbound traffic signals based on the feedback signal and the reference signals. An approximate inverse of the impairment estimation is applied to the outbound traffic signals by a number of equalizers before the outbound traffic signals enter the transmit paths.
