摘要:
A time reference point can be determined in a radio system by sending a synchronization sequence s(i), i=0, . . . N−1, from transmitter X, 40 to receiver Y, 48, and by detecting the peak value at the output of a matched-filter, 44, h(i)=s(N−1-i) on Y. In practical systems the accuracy of this peak detection is limited by interference and noise on the radio channel. To increase the peak detection accuracy, we propose to repeat the transmission of the same synchronization sequence K times. The interval L between repetitions is constant and the amplitude of the synchronization sequence in each repetition varies according to a given variation pattern a(jL), j=0, . . . , K−1. The receiver Y, 48 knows L and a(jL), j=0, . . . , K−1. After comparison to a threshold, the matched-filter 44 at the receiver 48 may deliver peaks resulted from repeatedly received synchronization sequences or peaks caused by interference and/or noise.

The present invention relates to a communication system comprising a plurality of terminals each having an uplink transmission unit (1) for transmitting radio frequency OFDM signals at a radio frequency and an access point having an uplink receiving unit (4) for concurrently receiving said radio frequency OFDM signals from at least two terminals, said OFDM signals being Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) modulated, wherein the bandwidth of said uplink transmission units and of the transmitted radio frequency OFDM signals is smaller than the bandwidth of said uplink receiving unit, that the bandwidth of at least two uplink transmission units and of their transmitted radio frequency OFDM signals is different and that the uplink transmission unit is adapted to assign different connections for concurrently transmitting radio frequency OFDM signals to different sub-carriers in the same time slots or to the same or different sub-carriers in different time slots.

The invention relates to a wireless network which includes a plurality of network nodes, each of which includes a radio device with a respective radio clock supply and is arranged to exchange data via a wireless medium, and also includes a user interface for the exchange of data between the associated radio device and at least one user. At least one user of a network node receives a user clock, being independent of the radio clock, from a user clock supply of the relevant network node. Each network node is arranged to determine, in response to events specified by a central network node, a time value related to the relevant application clock. The central network node transmits at least the last time value formed by a selected network node. Each network node forms the difference between the last two time values determined and synchronizes the frequency of its user clock supply in dependence on the comparison of the difference between its last two time values determined with the difference between the last two time values of the selected network node.

A local area network with a plurality of nodes for transmitting cells in the asynchronous transfer mode over a ring system having two opposite direction rings. In the event of a defect in a transmitting line from a node, or a defect in a neighboring node, a loop is formed in this node to reroute messages from one ring to the other. First, a node detecting a defect transmits a message of a first type to all other involved nodes, identifying the location of the detected defect. This information is entered in a respective status table in each node. After evaluating the information in its status table, a node which should form a loop does so, and sends a message of a second type identifying the loop to any nodes which do not already have this information.

In a communication environment with a number of radio systems a radio station in one of the radio systems seizes a sub-frequency range in a predetermined frequency range. Prior to each transmission of a useful signal, the one radio station checks whether a given sub-frequency range in the predetermined frequency range is free for a selected size of a propagation area. If the given sub-frequency range is free, the radio station transmits at random instants at least two pulses with a transmission range that is substantially restricted to the given sub-frequency range and avoids collisions with another radio system belonging to the communication environment by detecting whether the other radio system has seized the sub-frequency range in an overlapping radio propagation area at the same time. If the given sub-frequency range is free for the selected size of the radio propagation area and no collision with the other radio system is detected, the radio station transmits useful signals restricted to the given sub-frequency range.

The application describes a network comprising transceivers (1..6) linked in a network topology. The positions of the transceivers in the network topology are changed in dependence on the loads on the end-to-end connections (VC1..VC5) between the transceivers in the network. A configuration is chosen to give efficient use of the capacity available in the network. Each time that a new end-to-end connection (VC) within the network is set up the positions of the transceivers (1..6) are changed such that the network remains optimized.

There is elucidated a method of communicating data packets (210; 520) within a data communication network (10). The network (10) comprises communication nodes (30a, 30b, 30c, 40), wherein a first nodal set (30a, 30b, 30c) comprises nodes which are operable to communicate via a communication medium with a second nodal set (40) comprising at least one of said nodes (30a, 30b, 30c, 40). The method comprises steps of: (a) mutually synchronizing together two or more nodes of said first nodal set; and (b) simultaneously in a synchronized manner transmitting one or more data packets from the mutually synchronized two or more nodes of said first nodal set via said communication medium for substantially simultaneous reception at said second nodal set (40). The network (10) is susceptible to being simpler to implement in comparison to comparable contemporary communication networks, as well as potentially providing a better quality-of-service (QoS) especially when handover from one access point node to another is considered.

摘要:
The present invention provides a wireless communication system capable of managing multi-hop communications. In one embodiment, upon receiving a request from a mobile terminal for initiating a call, the system determines whether the mobile terminal can use multi-hop communication services and its operating mode for multi-hop communication. The system also determines whether relaying can be provided by other mobile terminals. Then, the system will establish multi-hop communication between the mobile terminal and the system based on the operating mode of the mobile terminal. In a default mode, multi-hop communication can be established without the user's knowledge. In a prompt mode, however, the system sends a prompt to the mobile terminal for selection of the multi-hop communication services, along with information about incentives for using the services. After the multi-hop communication is completed, the system records information relating to the multi-hop communication services for the originating and relaying mobile terminals in the HLR/VLR.
