摘要： A system and method for providing independent sector mapping of signals associated with a first and second service utilizing a same multibeam antenna system is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment switch matrixes associated with each service are manipulated to selectably map sector patterns of each service. Additionally, to mitigate destructive cancellation caused by combining signals of multiple antenna beams having a signal associated with a particular sector, adjustable phase shifters and/or attenuators are provided in the signal paths.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for providing transition between sector configurations of a multi-sectored cell wherein the subscriber units may detect the impending change in sector configuration and react accordingly. Sector transitions accomplished according to the present invention include the use of time dithering old and new sector signals on antenna beams of the transition area, amplitude tapering of old and new sector signals on antenna beams of the transition area, blending of sector signals on antenna beams of the transition area, phase adjustment of antenna beams of the transition area, as well as combinations thereof. Accordingly, subscriber units in the transition area are able to detect the impending sector reconfiguration and react in order to avoid degradation or loss of communication.

摘要： Systems and methods for providing mitigation of interference in a CDMA cellular network caused by excessive in band energy are disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, multiple narrow antenna beams are used to isolate the excessive energy from that of signals from mobile units. Control circuitry measures the power level on each of these multiple beams, compares this measurement to an estimated number of mobiles operating in the associated antenna beam, and determines if excessive energy is present in the beam. If excessive energy is determined to exist, the present invention causes the gain of particular antenna beams to be adjusted so as to mitigate the effect of the excessive energy.

摘要： A position system and method utilizes a plurality of range transceivers located at known fixed locations and which are adapted to transmit approximately synchronized digital range signals for receipt by both a primary receiver and a supplemental receiver, the former disposed at a known location and the latter disposed at an unknown location. The range transceivers are adapted to transmit pulse sequences which include an error portion corresponding to the approximate synchronization error of each range signal. This error portion is constantly updated in accordance with the last determined synchronization errors of the corresponding range signals received by a secondary transceiver. In an alternative embodiment employing Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology, the range transceiver time stamp on transmitted range signals may be adjusted to account for the measured timing error for a given range transceiver. The supplemental receiver receives the range signals and uses the same in accordance with known time of arrival or time difference of arrival calculation techniques to determine the position of the supplemental receiver.
