摘要:
A base station for use in a mobile telephony network includes an antenna arrangement coupled to a transceiver arrangement for producing a plurality of beams. A method of testing the base station comprises detecting at the transceiver arrangement the signal strengths of a test signal received via the beams; comparing and/or correlating the said signal strengths detected at the transceiver arrangement; and using the results of the comparisons and/or correlations to determine the configuration of the antenna arrangement and transceiver arrangement and/or to detect faults. The comparison of average signal strengths can be used to detect cabling faults, and beam errors. The correlation of un-averaged signal strengths can be used to determine which beams have the same polarization. Beam pointing directions and the allocation of antennas to sectors can be determined by monitoring handovers of mobiles moving between cells. Frequencies may be allocated to sectors according to a frequency re-use scheme.

A piston such as is used in internal combustion engines, steam engines, gas engines, air engines, pumps, compressors and the like from which the usual piston rings are absent the sealing of the piston being affected by means of right and left hand intersecting helical channels formed on a portion of the surface of the piston wall.It is preferred that the helical channels terminate at each end in a circumferential groove. The sealing is effected by means of oil trapped by the channels between the piston wall and a cylinder in which the piston operates.

Configuring of a communications environment is facilitated. A mapping tool is provided that aids in the configuring of various components of a communications environment, such as an input/output (I/O) subsystem of the environment. Data generated from an order process and a logical configuration definition are used as input to the mapping tool. The tool performs mapping and generates as output a physical configuration definition, and optionally, one or more reports. The mapping tool has a manual function, as well as an automatic function.

摘要:
A piston for use in a hydraulic or other fluid operated device having sealing means intended to prevent the passage of working fluid between the piston and cylinder in which it moves consisting of the combination of at least one O ring or other sealing device arranged around the circumference of the piston and left and right hand intersecting helical channels formed over the length of the surface of the piston wall between the sealing device and the end of the piston subject to pressure of the working fluid. The helical channels act both to retain lubricating fluid and to provide a partial seal against the passage of working fluid between the piston and the cylinder, substantially complete sealing being effected by the sealing device.

The invention provides an antenna array suitable for use in a base station in a wireless communications network, the antenna array having a first beamforming arrangement for producing uplink beams and a second beamforming arrangement for producing downlink beams, wherein the first and second beamforming arrangements are different from one another. Preferably the first and second beamforming arrangements feed a common antenna array to produce the uplink and downlink beams. Particularly preferably a plurality of (sin x/x) beams are formed for the uplink, and a plurality of low cusp beams are formed for the downlink. These are advantageously dual polar, in order to achieve diversity gain. In a preferred embodiment, the antenna array is arranged such that three dual polar low cusp beams are formed for the downlink, and six dual polar (sin x/x) beams are formed for the uplink. A cellular communications network and a base station transceiver having such antenna arrays are also provided, as are a radio signal transmitted as a plurality of (sin x/x) beams forming an uplink of a cellular communications network, and a method of operating a wireless communications network.
