摘要:
In a cell phone telecommunication system having a macrocell and a small cell coextensive with or adjacent to the macrocell and sharing a common frequency band, interference can occur between a user device operating in the small cell, the local base station operating the user devices in the small cell on one hand and another user device serviced by a main base station for the macrocell. In order to reduce this interference, the shape of the transmission beam from at least one of the user devices or base stations is shaped into a narrow beam steered to be directed at the respective receiving unit. Alternatively, the shape of the transmission beam has a null point and the beam is steered so that its null point is directed toward the affected unit.

A method and apparatus has been developed to reduce SAR for a mobile device by designing appropriate matching circuits between each antenna and its power amplifier. In the presence of such matching circuits the normal phase adjustments may be carried out to provide a preferred safe SAR level that can be maintained during phase adjustment without sacrificing TRP.

A receiver, or base station, may calculate the signal quality improvement based on a change in a diversity control parameter, for example, a phase difference or a power ratio among two or more antennas, by comparing a received signal power level to an expected power level, assuming no change in fading characteristics at the previous timeslot. This method may increase the amount of information communicated between the base station and the mobile unit, and may reduce feedback response time and/or provide for more efficient feedback for transmit diversity systems.

A method, apparatus, and system for transmitting and controlling uplink diversity signals in a mobile communication device. While in a soft handoff situation, a mobile communications device may receive a phase feedback signal from a non-serving base station. The mobile device may calculate a modified phase parameter based on the phase feedback signal from the non-serving base station in order to minimize interference with the non-serving base station, for example, by calculating a modified value of a phase difference in a direction opposite to the direction desired by the non-serving base station. In some embodiments of the invention, the mobile device may determine whether to calculate the modified phase parameter in a direction opposite to the direction indicated by the phase feedback signal of the non-serving base station based on a comparison of power feedback signals received from the non-serving and serving base stations.

A system may include a modifiable mobile device having at least two antennas coupled to fractional amplifiers, with returned power detectors. A beamformer unit provides adaptive beam shaping pattern, and a baseband processor provides beam pattern requirements, wherein the beamformer unit modifies the beam pattern requirements with return loss sampling information to shape the adaptive beam pattern so that a transmitted beam pattern minimizes transmitted power reflected back to the mobile device. A method may include regularly measuring a return power level, if output power is greater than a specific absorption rate level, comparing the return power level to a first threshold, else implementing mobile transmit diversity (MTD), and repeating. If the return power level is greater than the first threshold, implementing a MTD combined with reflection-based beamforming that modifies beam pattern requirements of the mobile device with return loss sampling information to create an adaptive beam pattern.

The present implementation is directed to a system and method of mobile transmit diversity and, more particularly, to a device which can operate in any of several modes, including a transmit diversity mode whereby two or more antennae transmit signals to at least one base station with relative phase difference, or in a non-diversity mode whereby one antenna is turned off and the other transmits at full or requisite power.

Embodiments of the present invention describe methods for increasing the amount of information available to a mobile transmit diversity transmitter during soft handoff. According to embodiments of the invention, a transmit diversity transmitter may determine substantially when it is within the range of at least two receivers. In such situations, the transmitter may use the power control signals from more than one receiver, for example, from the two most dominant receivers in order to focus the beamforming accordingly.
摘要:
A device, system, and method for providing a transmit diversity device have a first antenna and a second antenna. The first antenna may have a first power transmission gain pattern, which may be non-uniform in a reference plane. The second antenna may have a second power transmission gain pattern, which may be non-uniform in a reference plane. The first and second antennae may be arranged with respect to each other such that a minimum power region of the first gain pattern overlaps a maximum power region of the second gain pattern in the reference plane. The transmit diversity device may also have a processor to receive a feedback parameter from a feedback device. The processor may produce a different transmit diversity parameter based on the feedback parameter for each of a first and second signals to be transmitted on the first and second antennae, respectively.
