    摘要: A scalable pattern methodology defining positions of synchronization symbols, pilot symbols and data symbols for various numbers of sub-channels in a multi-carrier communication system. A base pattern (510) is defined identifying positions of data symbols, synchronization symbols and pilot symbols for a first number of sub-channels corresponding to a first bandwidth. The base pattern is replicated or scaled to form an expanded pattern (512, 514) identifying positions of data symbols, synchronization symbols and pilot symbols for an expanded number (M) of sub-channels corresponding to a second bandwidth. The pattern methodology may be implemented by a transmitter (100) having subdivided an original information signal into M bit streams and having encoded each of the M bit streams to 16QAM symbols to form M symbol streams, by inserting synchronization and pilot symbols into each of the M symbol streams at positions determined by the expanded pattern. The pattern methodology allows a receiver (600) to perform pilot interpolation in the M symbol streams with the same set of pilot interpolation filters that would be required to perform pilot interpolation in the symbol streams of the base pattern.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for integrated processing of narrow-band communications and wide-band communications is generally accomplished when a communications controller (25) receives a request for a narrow-band communication. The request includes identity of at least one targeted communication device (32). Having received the request, the communications controller determines whether the at least one targeted communication device is participating in a wide-band communication on a wide-band channel. If so, the communications controller causes a narrow-band communication to be mixed with the wide-band communication. The mixed signal is then provided to the at least one targeted communication device on the wide-band channel.

    摘要: In a modulator (300), a symbol weight determiner (301) determines a scaling factor (310) for at least one symbol (308). An integrator (303) and a complex symbol generator (305) operate to produce at least one complex symbol (314) based on the at least one symbol. The scaling factor (310) is used to scale the at least one complex symbol. In one embodiment, a scaler (307) comprises a gain-modifiable amplifier (609) and, in a second embodiment, the scaler comprises a gain-modifiable filter (809). When such a modulator is incorporated into an RF communication device (600, 800), the energy used to transmit any given symbol can be varied according to the relative importance of that symbol. Additionally, the overall received sensitivity of a communication, at a given signal strength, can be improved.

    摘要: Delayed symbols (204), including a current symbol (205), are compared by a comparator (206) with at least one predetermined pattern when the current symbol is equivalent to one of a set of predetermined values. Alternatively, a sign of the current symbol is compared with signs of a previous and a subsequent symbol when the current symbol is equivalent to one of the set of predetermined values. When the current symbol is equivalent to one of the set of predetermined values and when either the delayed symbols are equivalent to one of the at least one predetermined pattern or the sign of the current symbol matches the signs of the previous and subsequent symbols, a symbol corrector (208) applies a predetermined function to the current symbol to produce a received symbol (210).

    摘要: A data transmission scheme for use in a low channel bandwidth-to-modulation symbol rate ratio (BW:R.sub.S) application employing a linear modulator for producing in-phase and quadrature (I and Q) components of a data stream inputted at a predetermined symbol rate. This transmission method allows for the recovery of signals having unfavorable delay spread characteristics. That is, a specialized function is used to process the I and Q components, whose time domain transfer characteristic remains within a predetermined range of a data constellation point for a duration that exceeds 25 percent of a symbol period corresponding to the predetermined symbol rate. The processed response is then band-limited to produce a modulation signal that is usable in the low BW:R.sub.S application.

    摘要: In a simulcast communication system (100), a communication unit (110-115) may request enhanced coverage area services by transmitting a request for enhanced signal quality to a central simulcast controller (101). Upon receipt, the central simulcast controller (101) identifies, based on information pertaining to the location of the communication unit, a set of transmitters (102-109) to enhance coverage in the area of the communication unit. The central simulcast controller determines enhanced coverage area delays for each of the transmitters and adjusts the respective delays of each transmitter such that transmitted signal quality is enhanced at the location of the communication unit.

    摘要: Shown, herein, is a method of allowing use of small, low-power communication systems within the service coverage area of larger trunked systems. The small, low-power systems are constructed to reuse at least some of the communication resources, also used by the larger system. The large system measures signal strength values of large cell communication units and transfers such values to the small systems. A small system compares the transferred values with a threshold and when the threshold is exceeded, reuses the communication resources under a TDM format within the small system.

    摘要: An improved synchronization method and apparatus, according to the invention, is provided. According to the invention, in a simulcast system having a remote site receiving frames from a base site, each frame containing a predetermined number (k) of transmit sample periods, and the transmit sample clock and remote synchronization clock frequencies known (f.sub.tx and f.sub.pps respectively), the remote site synchronizes a frame as follows. First, it receives a frame from the base site. Second, it determines the sequence number n for the frame. Third, it determines the launch time the first frame was to be broadcast from the remote site. Fourth, it computes a realignment time based on [(n-1)*(k)+launch time for first frame] MOD (f.sub.tx f.sub.pps). Fifth, it transmits the first bit of the frame at the realignment time.
