Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed which provide aggressively sculpted or shaped antenna beams, such as sector antenna beams, for use in communication networks. Preferred embodiments use passive antenna feed networks, preferably configured as personality modules, which are adapted for corresponding topological and morphological features. Preferred embodiment feed networks may be coupled to linear or curvilinear antenna arrays to provide antenna beams having a desired contour. Using the disclosed systems and methods path loss variance is minimized for improved system capacity and/or signal quality. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods provide for reduced average transmission power levels further allowing increased capacity and/or signal quality.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods which provide communication network antenna pattern configuration for optimized network operation. Preferably, a statistical smart antenna configuration is provided in which antenna patterns associated with various base stations of the communication network are configured to capitalize on the complex morphology and topology of the service area in providing optimized communications. Antenna patterns are preferably configured using merit based determinations, based upon link propagation conditions such as associated with the complex morphologies and topologies of the service area, to aggressively serve areas which are best served thereby while not serving areas which are best served by other network systems.

Abstract: A pre-determined negative constant is utilized in soft handoff mode to permit a new pilot signal to be added to an wireless phone's active set. The negative constant is combined with the weakest pilot signal in the active set and then compared to the new pilot signal strength which allows the new pilot to trigger a Pilot Strength Measurement Message (PSMM) even when the new pilot signal is weaker than all active set pilot signals. The negative constant provides a soft handoff while maintaining or reducing drop rate probabilities and frame error rates. After initially triggering a PSMM, the next instance the new pilot may ordinarily cause a PSMM to be triggered is when the new pilot signal exceeds the strongest active set pilot signal. Triggering a PSMM when exceeding the strongest active set signal may increase the probability of dropped signals. To reduce the probability of dropped signals, a negative constant is utilized during soft handoff to add a new pilot to an active set. This step would also decrease the probability that the new pilot will overpower a weaker active set pilot signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method of increasing the likelihood of successful and quick reception of messages containing crucial data in a CDMA cellular communication system. The data may be transmitted at a lower frame rate than normal messages but at the same power level as used for normal messages in full rate frames to raise the signal to noise ratio at the receiver. An abbreviated version of the message containing only the critical parameters may be sent to lessen the likelihood of a bit being incorrectly decoded as well as shortening both the time of transmission and receipt. The two approaches may be combined and the abbreviated message may be supplemental to the normal message. Specifically, the use of a short version of a handoff direction message using only the parameters required for a soft-handoff between cells within a system is described in detail.
