Abstract:
Transmit and/or receive diversity is achieved using multiple antennas. In some embodiments, a single transmitter chain within a wireless terminal is coupled over time to a plurality of transmit antennas. At any given time, a controllable switching module couples the single transmitter chain to one the plurality of transmit antennas. Over time, the switching module couples the output signals from the single transmitter chain to different transmit antennas. Switching decisions are based upon predetermined information, dwell information, and/or channel condition feedback information. Switching is performed on some dwell and/or channel estimation boundaries. In some OFDM embodiments, each of multiple transmitter chains is coupled respectively to a different transmit antenna. Information to be transmitted is mapped to a plurality of tones. Different subsets of tones are formed for and transmitted through different transmit chain/antenna sets simultaneously. The balance of tones allocated to the subsets for each antenna are changed as a function of predetermined information, dwell information, and/or channel condition feedback information.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an antenna coupling preventing system and method capable of minimizing coupling between a GPS antenna and a CDMA antenna. The system comprises first and second antennas for receiving first and second RF signals of first and second frequencies, respectively; a mobile switch for measuring performance characteristics of the second antenna; and a switch circuit connected between the second antenna and the mobile switch for controlling flow of the first RF signal to the second antenna.
Abstract:
A system for wireless data transmission between a stationary transmitting/reception device and a rotating body, e.g., a vehicle wheel, having secondary antennas, is provided. A plurality of stationary primary antennas are coupled to the stationary transmitting/reception device, and a plurality of secondary antennas are positioned along a circumference of the rotating body. Amongst the plurality of primary antennas, at least one primary antenna is provided for transmitting electrical energy to the secondary antennas, and at least one other primary antenna is provided for communications with the secondary antennas. In this manner, data transmission independent of the speed of the rotating body and the position of the secondary antennas is achieved.
Abstract:
Signals from antennas A and B are alternately switched by an antenna switch at a predetermined rate. Then, the signals from the antennas A and B are alternately input to a wireless receiving unit. The wireless receiving unit orthogonal-signal-detects the signals received by the antennas A and B, and inputs the detected signals to a branch selecting unit. The branch selecting unit extracts only the signals from either of the antennas from the signals obtained from the antennas A and B, which are alternately arranged in time series, and transmits the extracted signals to a matched filter. A searcher obtains despreading timings from correlation values, and stores the obtained timings in two memories. The searcher obtains despreading timings with large correlation values, and transmits the timings to a despreading unit to perform RAKE reception.
Abstract:
A present embodiment of the invention solves the problem by providing an antenna control system in a wireless communication system. A communication interface transfers a control signal to an antenna controller. The antenna controller processes the control signal. The antenna controller then substitutes an antenna with another antenna based on the control signal. Advantages of the embodiments include providing a reliable wireless communication system that decreases the number of lost calls by increasing the availability of antennas. Other advantages include providing flexible antenna coverage to an area by remotely controlling the antenna through a public communication network by means of a modem.
Abstract:
An antenna apparatus for a folder type mobile phone, wherein a first antenna is installed in a main body of the folder type mobile phone, and a second antenna is installed in the folder. The folder type mobile phone installs a main antenna apparatus in the main body, and an antenna apparatus for maximizing the diversity effect in the folder. As a result, it becomes more convenient to carry the folder type mobile phone based on the diversity mode, while securing a broader separation distance between two antennas at the same time.
Abstract:
An antenna system with two antennas provides the possibility to operate at least two different radio communication systems with one radio communication system operating on one single antenna of the antenna system and another radio communication system operating on both antennas of the antenna system wherein the antenna system serves as a diversity antenna system. This kind of antenna system is designed to be employed particularly in small devices with restricted measurements. Especially, an implementation of an antenna system for dual use of GSM/E-GSM/DCS operation and WLAN operation is presented.
Abstract:
A method and system for conducting rapid control traffic in a time division multiple access (TDMA) communication system comprises a base station communicating with a plurality of user stations in assigned time slots of a time frame. For bearer traffic, time slots are assigned to particular user stations for an extended duration. In unassigned time slots, the base station transmits a general polling message indicating availability of the time slot. A user station desiring to hand off communication from one base station to another uses multiple available time slots at the target base station for exchanging control traffic messages with the target base station. The next available time slot is indicated by a slot pointer in the header of each general polling message to facilitate rapid exchange of control traffic messages. During handover, the user station may establish a new link with the target base station before relinquishing the existing communication link with the old base station.
