    摘要: An apparatus for generating an oscillating signal that includes a circuit to accelerate the time in which an oscillating signal reaches a defined steady-state condition from a cold start. The apparatus includes an oscillating circuit to generate an oscillating signal; a first circuit to supply a first current to the oscillating circuit; and a second circuit to supply a second current to the oscillating circuit, wherein the first and second currents are adapted to reduce the time duration for the oscillating signal to reach a defined steady-state condition. The apparatus may be useful in communication systems that use low duty cycle pulse modulation to establish one or more communications channels, whereby the apparatus begins generating an oscillating signal at approximately the beginning of the pulse and terminates the oscillating signal at approximately the end of the pulse.

    摘要: In a data communication system capable of variable rate transmission, the data rate is determined by the largest C/I measurement of the forward link signals as measured at the Access Terminal. In one embodiment, the data transmission is scheduled based on an Access Terminal initiated forward power control, which reduces forward link rate quantization loss due to excess transmit power. The Access Terminal reports to the Access Point the excess C/I estimate for the selected rate. The Access Point then reduces its transmit power by an appropriate amount when serving that Access Terminal. In another embodiment, the data transmission is scheduled based on an Access Point initiated forward power control. The Access Point varies its transmit power over time either randomly or in synchronism with neighboring Access Points in the communication system, which enables an increase in the throughput achieved by users that receive a significant amount of interference.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for performing inter-system hard handoff between communication systems or inter-frequency hard handoff within a CDMA communication system is disclosed. The purpose is to reduce the probability of dropped calls during inter-system hard handoff. In the event that a hard handoff attempt is unsuccessful, the mobile station will return to the original system with information which the communication system of the present invention uses to assist in the performance of future handoff attempts. Alternatively, with no handoff attempt made, the mobile station monitors the destination system then returns to the original system with information used to assist in subsequent handoff attempts. The information returned from monitoring a CDMA system consists of results of a search for one or more pilots given at offsets in a specific list provided to the mobile station by the base station or a set of offsets based upon a predetermined search algorithm.

    摘要: The dual band code division multiple access radio of the present invention operates on multiple frequencies simultaneously on either transmit or receive. The transmit path operates by splitting the transmit intermediate frequency (IF) path (103) and mixing the IF to two different transmit frequencies using two frequency synthesizers (140 and 145). The receive path (104) has two RF channels (116 and 117) that are mixed with the frequencies generated by the synthesizers (140 and 145) and summed into one IF strip. Thus the radio of the present invention can perform a soft hand-off between frequencies while communicating with both base stations simultaneously. Additional mixing paths and synthesizers can be added if it is desired to communicate with more than two base stations simultaneously.

    摘要: A system for mitigating the effect of fading in a digital communication system. Deep signal nulls occur when signals from multiple paths are precisely aligned in amplitude and phase canceling the signal at the receiving antenna and creating a fade. In an indoor system, moving either transmitter or receiver a short distance can shift a fade away from the frequency of interest. This invention provides an actual or perceived movement of an antenna such that the effects of fading can be averaged over a time interval. The signal processing capability of modern digital transceivers can correct errors due to the time varying fades using the present invention. Thus, a dual-antenna element using the system of this invention can provide diversity receive and transmit paths to maintain capacity. The present invention may also provide improved capacity to due enhanced stability in power control.

    摘要: A link quality improvement system for a cellular communication system in which portable units are used to facilitate communication of information signals between system users, via at least one cell-site, using code division multiple access spread spectrum communication signals. The system enables users to improve the quality of reverse communication links from the portable units to the cell-site by providing to each system user a link quality signal indicative of power received at the cell-site relative to an optimum level of received power. At a cell-site communicating with a portable unit associated with a particular system user, the portable unit transmitted power is measured as received at the cell-site. A command signal is generated at the cell-site and transmitted to the portable unit for adjusting portable unit transmitter power. The command signals are also accumulated in order to enable generation of a link quality signal in response thereto. In a preferred implementation the link quality signal is an audible interference signal inducing the system user to adjust orientation of the portable communication unit so as to improve signal quality on the reverse link.
