摘要:
A method for calculating the geographical position of a user equipment (UE) unit includes collecting position parameters conveying the relative position of the UE unit from two or more base stations using technologies mandated for the modern wireless networks. Particularly, know (predetermined) signals embedded in the downlink and uplink subframes, such as preambles, pilots, ranging codes are used for determining the coordinates of the UE unit. In addition, the methods and systems proposed here take advantage of the multiple antennas systems mandated at both the UE and BTS.

Systems and methods of combining OFDM and CDMA signals are provided. An OFDM packet data channel is overlaid over CDMA transmissions. The channel is scheduled slotwise between multiple users. In some embodiments, there is a CDMA packet data channel which is scheduled together with the OFDM packet data channel.

Communication signal equalization methods and systems are disclosed. A CDMA signal having a data portion and a known portion including a known or repeated data sequence and received over a multipath communication channel represents a linear convolution between the multipath channel and a transmitted CDMA signal. A channel estimate of the communication channel is determined from the known portion, and the CDMA signal is translated into a new CDMA signal which is a cyclic convolution with the channel estimate. A frequency domain representation of the new CDMA signal is adjusted using the channel estimate to produce a frequency domain representation of an equalized signal.

A method of a receiver determining the timing of a signal transmitted in a time-slotted manner, the signal comprising a sequence of information which is repeated at a known interval and has at least a known minimum length. The method performs correlation operations between groups of received slots of information, the groups spaced by the known interval. The groups are moved through the received signal, adding and removing slots, to locate a maximum correlation value sum for the group which should correspond to the timing of the slot. The method also can be used to determine a frequency offset at the receiver and/or an initial phase.

An adaptable orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing system (OFDM) that uses a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) to having OFDM signals transmitted either in accordance with time diversity to reducing signal fading or in accordance with spatial diversity to increase the data rate. Sub-carriers are classified for spatial diversity transmission or for time diversity transmission based on the result of a comparison between threshold values and at least one of three criteria. The criteria includes a calculation of a smallest eigen value of a frequency channel response matrix and a smallest element of a diagonal of the matrix and a ratio of the largest and smallest eigen values of the matrix.

A method of beam forming is provided for an appliqué intelligent antenna system. The appliqué system uses a watchdog function to monitor broadcast channels of an existing mobile wireless base station to which it is attached. The appliqué system synchronizes itself in frequency and time to the base station. In GSM timing delays are used to prevent collision of timeslots from various mobile terminals. The appliqué system uses this time delay mechanism to compensate for its own processing delays so that its presence is transparent to the existing base station. Angle of arrival calculations are made to determining beamforming parameters. The antenna of the four element antenna system are separated by is (51/2−1)/2 times the wavelength. Angle of arrival for the strongest uplink multipath signal are used to direct the downlink beam.

A communication structure and method which allows connection-like and connectionless communications to be provided on a multiplexed link is provided. The structure and method can make efficient use of available transmission capacity and/or network resources while providing both types of communication and hybrids. Connection-like communications can be provided by a dedicated code division multiplexed channels having allocated transmission capacity dedicated to the communication while connectionless communication can be provided by a shared orthogonal frequency division multiplexed channel through which data can be transmitted to subscribers. In an embodiment, the shared channel transmits inverse fast fourier transformed frequency sub-bands allocated to one or more of the subscribers. The allocation of the sub-bands can be fixed, or dynamically quantized or proportional.

The invention is directed to positioning with low geometrical dilution of position (GDOP). Generally, the invention is a method for positioning including the steps of transmitting a asynchronous signal from a mobile to at least one base station; receiving the asynchronous signal at each base station; for each base station, determining a spherical line of position for the mobile using the received non-synchronous signal; and positioning the mobile using the spherical lines of position. The invention is a position location system which has the merits of both spherical and hyperbolic positioning systems while avoiding their drawbacks. The invention is less sensitive to GDOP and the mathematical model is easier to handle than the known hyperbolic system. The mathematical model embodied in the invention is equivalent to a convex quadratic probing subject to an ice-cream cone constraint. The invention also embodies an efficient algorithm for this optimization model. The invention is primarily directed to position location for E911, it can also applied to any other fields where position location is used, such as, but not limited to, radar positioning, satellite positioning and navigation systems.

Whitespace devices can use unused television frequencies for transmission and reception of WiFi OFDM signals. Three contiguous bands, such as former channels 2, 3, and 4, may be bonded together to define a whitespace band. In order to fit a WiFi OFDM signal into this whitespace band, a whitespace device compresses the bandwidth of each WiFi OFDM signal using a specific spectrum mask. Very low transmission power is needed for the modified WiFi OFDM signals, eliminating the need for high power amplifiers and most of the WiFi OFDM designs such as PHY and MAC can be reused with minor modifications.
