    Abstract: A small office/home office base transceiver station (SOHO BTS) server capable of managing interference by correlating pilot strength measurements sent by mobile devices and directing the attenuation settings for each transmit path. An array of antennas coupled to an array of transmit paths are selectively activated one at a time. When a transmit path is activated, the SOHO BTS server sets the associated variable attenuator to its maximum level. The SOHO BTS server detects whether a radio environment report or and a pilot strength measurement message (PSMM) containing information about a mobile station's pilot strength is present. When the pilot strength is greater than a predetermined value, the SOHO BTS server increases the setting on the attenuator. Otherwise, the SOHO BTS server decreases the attenuator setting until such pilot strength information is available or if the lowest attenuator setting has been set. The other transmit paths are also tested accordingly.

    Abstract: Beamforming techniques to limit radiated power where there is the potential for interference with macro-cellular coverage or with adjacent mobile stations. Smart antenna beamforming techniques (including the use of angle of arrival information) are combined with access probe information to determine the direction for radiated power and the level of the needed transmitted power as well for the small office or home (SOHO) environment. The placement of RF power in the SOHO specific to where it is needed, minimizes radiating power in directions where it will cause interference with macrocell coverage. In addition, the beamforming techniques provide a base transceiver station with an economical method to quickly solve coverage issues internal to a SOHO, without introducing interference external to this coverage environment. In addition, there specific placement of the RF power where it is needed provides an increase in spectral efficiency of a deployed network.

    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for improving downlink performance of an adaptive antenna array in a vehicular environment. The system comprises a mobile station that has a first mobile antenna and a second mobile antenna. A spatial signature estimator associated with a base transceiver station obtains spatial signatures from signals from the first mobile antenna and from the second mobile antenna within an uplink interval. Correlation circuitry uses the spatial signatures to identify a least changing spatial signature to obtain an optimal downlink beamforming weight vector to be used in the transmission of a signal to the mobile station in the next downlink interval.

    Abstract: A demodulator for demodulating S possible orthogonal modulation codes received serially as binary data, wherein each of the S possible orthogonal modulation codes comprises M binary bits representing an N-bit data symbol and wherein M=2N. The demodulator comprises Logic 00, Logic 01, Logic 10, and Logic 11 input detectors, each of which compares M/2 sequential pairs of the M binary bits of the orthogonal modulation codes to a respective one of a Logic 00 value, a Logic 01 value, a Logic 10 value, or a Logic 11 value and outputs a [+1,+1] signal if a match occurs and outputs a [−1,−1] signal if a match does not occur. An input decision circuit detects a [+1,+1] signal output by one of the input detectors after a comparison of a jth sequential pair of the M/2 sequential pairs of the M binary bits. In response to the detection, the input decision circuit adds the [+1,+1] signal to one or more of S accumulators if a jth one of the M/2 code mask bits in a corresponding one of a Logic 00 code mask, a Logic 01 code mask, a Logic 10 code mask, or a Logic 11 code mask is a Logic 1.

    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of a multicarrier transmission system. The apparatus comprises a detector for receiving a plurality of symbols to be transmitted and determining a peak amplitude of the plurality of symbols and a controller for determining if the peak amplitude associated with the plurality of symbols exceeds a predetermined threshold. If the peak amplitude exceeds the predetermined threshold, the apparatus generates at least one correction carrier signal.

    Abstract: For use in a multi-carrier CDMA receiver, a noise reduction circuit for improving a signal-to-noise ratio of a multi-carrier signal corresponding to a predetermined sequence of chips. Each chip has a value of Logic 0 or Logic 1. The noise reduction circuit comprises a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) circuit for receiving the multi-carrier signal and generating frequency-domain component signals. A sampling circuit generates a first sequence of samples of the frequency-domain component signals. A controller identifies samples in the first sample sequence corresponding to Logic 0 chips and identifies samples in the first sample sequence corresponding to Logic 1 chips. A randomizing circuit generates a second sample sequence by shifting positions within the first sample sequence of some of the identified samples corresponding to Logic 0 chips, or by shifting positions within the first sample sequence of some of the identified samples corresponding to Logic 1 chips.
