摘要： A method of determining the location of a mobile device in a communications network having a plurality of nodes, one of the plural nodes serving the device. Observed positioning measurements for a mobile device may be received from the serving node and uplink enhanced cell identification (E-CID) positioning measurements received from the mobile device. One or more ranges between ones of the plural nodes and the mobile device may then be determined as a function of the received observed positioning measurements and the received uplink E-CID positioning measurements. A geographic location of the mobile device may then be estimated as a function the determined one or more ranges.

摘要： A method for detecting an IS-95 signal without knowledge of a spreading code for the IS-95 signal is provided. A received baseband signal is rotated through a plurality of phase-shifts. For each phase-shifted baseband signal, an in-phase component or a quadrature component of the phase-shifted baseband signal is realigned. The in-phase and quadrature components are multiplied by a PN short code to partially despread the components. The partially despread in-phase and quadrature components are multiplied and integrated. The integrated despread in-phase and quadrature components are compared to a threshold value. In response to exceeding the threshold value, the received baseband signal is identified as an IS-95 signal. The method may be implemented on a repeater for repeating signals between multiple sources.

摘要： A method and system for determining the location of a mobile device in a communications network or the proximity of the device to a node in the network. A location request may be received for a mobile device served by a base station in the network. A set of nodes associated with the serving base station may then be tasked and downlink data collected at a first node, the downlink data from a downlink signal received from the serving base station. Downlink frame timing may then be determined as a function of the collected downlink data and uplink data collected at a second node as a function of the determined downlink frame timing. A geographic location for the device or proximity thereof to a node may be determined as a function of the collected uplink data.

摘要： A system and method for a network analysis system operating in a wireless communication system with repeaters is disclosed. Embodiments of the system and method enable the network analysis system to determine if signals being received by the network receivers arrive directly from a target mobile appliance or if the signals are passing through a repeater. The repeaters, through an augmentation, measure attributes of a received signal and based on these attributes the system determine whether the signal is served by a repeater or other network device.

摘要： An apparatus for detecting a spread spectrum signal in a wireless signal environment includes at least one antenna for receiving spread spectrum signals, such as UMTS signals, from a signal source in the wireless signal environment. In one embodiment, a detection circuit is configured for correlating a code in signal received by the apparatus with a set of possible codes for spread spectrum signals in order to detect the existence of a spread spectrum signal. In another embodiment, a detection circuit is configured for obtaining at least one reference frame of data from a received signal. The detection circuit is further operable for correlating a segment of the reference frame with a repeated segment of at least one subsequent frame of data in order to detect the existence of a spread spectrum signal. A repeater might incorporate such an apparatus wherein the variable gain of the repeater is adjusted based upon the correlation and the detection of a spread spectrum signal.
