摘要:
In a cellular mobile communication system, each base station is allocated common frequencies shared with other base stations in addition to unique frequencies. One of the unique frequencies is assigned by a base station to a mobile terminal in response to a call request. The field strength of a signal from that mobile terminal is detected and one of the common frequencies is assigned to it if the detected field strength becomes lower than a threshold. The base station receives a field strength signal from a neighboring station indicating the field strength of a version of the signal at the neighboring station and compares it with a threshold, and combines the signal of that mobile terminal with the version of the signal received by and relayed from the neighboring station when the field strength of that version of the signal is higher than the threshold. At the given mobile station, a signal from the base station which assigned the common frequency is combined with a signal from the neighboring station. In a modification, the field strength of signals from surrounding base stations is detected by mobile terminals and a start-of-diversity-mode request is transmitted when the field strength of one of the surrounding stations is higher than a threshold and an end-of-diversity-mode request signal is transmitted when the field strength of such a surrounding station is lower than the threshold. The base station responds to these requests for effecting diversity reception.

In a method of connecting channels of a plurality of decentralized radio systems which perform independent channel connections, each of the plurality of radio systems sets a given channel and monitors a reception signal level of the given channel. Each radio system detects that the given channel is busy and sets a next channel when the reception signal level of the given channel is higher than a level corresponding to a threshold value. Each radio system rejects a connection if all channels are busy. Each radio system detects the given channel as an empty channel and starts communication through the given channel if the reception signal channel is lower than the level corresponding to the threshold value. Each radio system increases the threshold value when the channel connection is rejected. Each radio system decreases the threshold value when the communication is started.

A Viterbi decoder synchronization circuit comprises a phase shifter for introducing a variable amount of delay time to a received bit stream of convolutional codes in response to a control signal applied thereto with respect to a word synchronization signal which is derived from the bit stream. A first detector detects maximum and minimum metric values of the Viterbi decoder. A second detector detects the difference between the detected maximum and minimum metric values for coupling to an integrator. The output of the integrator is applied to a third detector which detects when the integrator output reaches a value indicative of a word-in-sync or word-out-of-sync condition. A phase shift signal is generated in response to an output signal from the third detector and applied to the phase shifter as the control signal.

A Viterbi decoder synchronization circuit comprises a circuit that derives a word synchronization signal from a received bit stream of convolutional codes. A first detector detects a maximum of metric values derived from the Viterbi decoder at different locations in time. A memory is provided for storing therein the address codes derived at different times and the maximum metric values detected by the first detector. A second detector is connected to the memory for detecting the presence of a path between the states addressed by the address codes stored in the memory. An integrator is connected to the second detector to integrate its output signal. To the integrator is connected a third detector which detects when the integrator output reaches a value indicative of one of word-in-sync and word-out-of-sync conditions of the Viterbi decoder. A phase shift signal is generated in response to an output signal from the third detector and applied to a phase shifter to introduce a delay time to the bit stream.

An equalizer corrects cross-polarization distortion which occurs between two series of digital signals which are transmitted on individually associated ones of two mutually orthogonal cross-polarized waves. The distortion is corrected when a circuit discriminates between the two series of digital signals and gives an output signal which represents a value judgment as to the amount of distortion which has occurred. The output signal serves as an address for selecting one of many memory element circuits, each element circuit having a predetermined value stored therein. The value stored in the selected memory element circuit is subtracted from one series of the digital signals. The idea is that, during transmission, something (e.g., raindrops) transfers energy from one to the other of the cross-polarized waves. The equalizer circuit passes judgment as to how much energy has been transferred, and then subtracts that amount of energy in order to return to the original signal. The circuit also corrects for rotation of the two mutual orthogonal waves about their common axis.
