    摘要: A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a memory structure for multicasting data in a cellular personal access communication system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of allocating a multicast packet terminal identifier to a multicast group when a subscriber unit in a cell requests membership in the multicast group, receiving a multicast packet having a global multicast address, determining a cell identifier from a mapping of the global multicast address to at least one local multicast identifier and a cell identifier, and forwarding the multicast packet to the cell according to the cell identifier. The apparatus comprises a radio port controller unit having a packet data control unit coupled to a radio port configured to receive a multicast packet and a packet forwarding module. The packet data control unit includes an allocation module configured to allocate a local multicast identifier to a multicast group when a subscriber unit in a cell requests membership in the multicast group. The packet forwarding module is configured to determine a cell identifier from a mapping of the global multicast address to at least one local packet terminal identifier and a cell identifier and to forward the multicast packet to a cell according to the cell identifier.

    摘要: An approach for electronically performing beam steering is disclosed. For electronic scanning, an n-bit quantized phase shifting approach is employed at each array element of a phased array antenna. By applying an initial phase bias, either deterministically or randomly, in each of the array elements, the performance of a phased array with n-bit quantization (even with n=2) approaches the performance of a system with no quantization. This approach can be used with linearly polarized or circularly polarized waves. For circularly polarized waves, the 2n phase shifts required of n-bit quantization are achieved in a manner that provides a simple, low-loss construction, which allows production of a low-cost reflectarray or a flat-plate lens.

    摘要: A vestigial identification system is provided for transmitting information in a cellular communications network employing frequency reuse. The vestigial identification system enables a receiver to detect both bit errors and interfering messages to avoid call disruption. A composite parity check is produced by encoding message data and a site identifier via an encoder. A transmitter conveys a code word, formed at a code word generator by combining the composite parity check with the message data, to a receiver. At the receiver, an encoder forms an error detection parity check by encoding both the message data from the code word and the site identifier. An error detector compares the composite parity check from the transmitted code word to the error detection parity check, and generates an error if the parity checks are not identical to one another, enabling rejection of the message by the receiver.

    摘要: A cellular system has base stations in which diversity transmission is controllably employed to improve voice communications as needed. Normal signal transmission is employed in each voice channel unless it is detected that quality has dropped to a point where diversity transmission is needed to enhance the quality. When it is detected that a voice channel needs diversity transmission, a diversity (delayed) signal is automatically transmitted for that channel over an independent path. A common diversity transmitter is employed for all channels, whereas individual transmitters are employed for the normally transmitted signals in the respective voice channels.

    摘要: A cellular radio-telephone system has a plurality of cells each of which has S sectors. The cells are grouped into a plurality of clusters each of which has N adjoining cells. Each cell has a set of assigned system frequencies with respective frequency subsets assigned to its sectors so that N groups of co-channel cells exist with each co-channel cell group including one cell from each cluster having channel frequencies corresponding to those for its co-channel cell group. Respective base station antennas are located in the respective sectors of the respective cells, and each of the cell sectors has a plurality of subscriber station directional antennas disposed at predetermined locations within the sector for communication linkage with the associated base station antenna. The cells are generally formed in rows and columns and further are formed to provide a predetermined relative orientation pattern for co-channel cell sectors. Co-channel cells form a first cell tier around a preselected center co-channel cell with a common direction operative as a reference orientation direction for co-channel sectors therein. Co-channel sectors in successive co-channel cells about the first tier being successively oriented in alternating first and second directions with sectors rotated by at least one sector rotation from the reference direction in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
