Abstract: A bird deterrent device is configured for use in common garden bird-feeders. A flexible vibrating tip is electrically connected to a power supply and a wireless receiver via electrical wiring. A remote transmitter is operable to send a signal to the wireless receiver. When the wireless receiver receives the signal, the vibrating tip produces a vibration to generate visual, auditory and structural vibrations in the associated feeder, thereby scaring away targeted undesirable birds.

Abstract: The invention relates to sub macro cellular layers of a wireless communications system. An object of wireless communications system design is to reduce the number of base station sites required by increasing their range and or capacity. The term, “capacity” is used herein to refer to any suitable measure which provides an indication of how many conventional mobile terminals or other terminals are able to communicate effectively with a given antenna arrangement. Macro base station sites for cellular systems are particularly expensive, both in terms of the equipment required and the need for a geographical site for each cell site where, inter alia, large structures are frequently employed where planning permission is required. The present invention seeks to provide a system and method for reducing the effects of adjacent channel interference, especially in 3G CDMA base stations.

Abstract: Multiple Steiner codes are transmitted as bursts from multiple base stations (182, 184, 186) having one or more transmit elements (174, 176, 178, 180), with successive bursts providing an extended training sequence for use in channel estimation at an addressed unit (172), such as a mobile handset. Accurate channel estimation is possible through the use of Wiener frequency domain MMSE deconvolution (518) combined with frequency domain spatial decoupling matrices, with quasi-orthogonal pseudo-noise sequences (502, 504, 520, 522) allocated to base stations and their antenna elements. The use of Steiner codes to supplement Wiener frequency domain MMSE deconvolution and frequency domain spatial decoupling results in the possibility of allocating only a single training sequence to each base station provided that the training sequence is of sufficient length to encompass all multiple time-translated channel impulse responses (H). Estimates may be refined iteratively by minimising the MS error of demodulated pilot symbols. Estimates may also be refined by removing taps from the impulse response which are insignificant based on a relatively long-term power-delay profile for the channel.

Abstract: It is becoming increasingly important to improve data throughput in wireless networks. By transmitting data simultaneously at different modulation amplitudes and/or using different code strengths, terminals having different carrier to noise ratios are able to decode the different amplitude levels with varying degrees of success. This allows distant terminals to receive low data rate transmissions at high modulation levels or code rates while nearer terminals can use additional capacity in the transmission by receiving lower level modulation signals or code rates. In this way, distant terminals do not degrade overall network performance. By arranging for terminals to acknowledge receipt of data, retransmission at different modulation levels or code rates may be carried out by the base station in order to improve performance in the presence of noise without a priori knowledge of the carrier to noise ratio for a particular terminal.

Abstract translation: 提高无线网络中的数据吞吐量正变得越来越重要。 通过以不同的调制幅度和/或使用不同的代码强度同时发送数据，具有不同载波与噪声比的终端能够以不同程度的成功解码不同的幅度电平。 这允许远端终端以高调制级别或码率接收低数据速率传输，而较近的终端可以通过接收较低级别的调制信号或码率来在传输中使用额外的容量。 这样，远端终端不会降低整体网络性能。 通过安排终端来确认数据的接收，基站可以执行不同调制级别或代码率的重传，以便在没有对特定终端的载波噪声比的先验知识的情况下改善噪声存在的性能 。

Abstract: Equalisation of a communication channel is achieved through use of a Wiener filter frequency response mechanism that operates to transform at least a portion of a data stream generated from a plurality of space time coded (STC) symbol streams received from a plurality of transmit antenna elements into a packet spectrum. A training sequence for a channel through which the symbol streams have been sent is also transformed to a channel impulse response spectrum in order to assess the channel impulse response for the channel. The packet spectrum is equalised with the channel impulse response spectrum to produce an equalised packet spectrum in the transform domain. This is then converted into a time domain equalised data stream for recovery of originally transmitted information.

Abstract: The use of cyclic prefixes with OFDM transmissions is known. Typically the prefix length is chosen to be at least as long as the duration of significant multipath in the transmission channel. However, OFDM has disadvantages in terms of DSP load and transmitter power amplifier specifications. The use of a cyclic prefix with periodic CDMA codes has been found to yield equivalent performance in terms of orthogonality in a dispersive channel and yet overcomes the disadvantages of cyclicly prefixed OFDM transmissions. Examples are given of Walsh Hadamard binary periodic codes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method whereby an adaptive equaliser is applied to the terminal (mobile) receivers in a cellular radio CDMA system whose purpose is to minimise the mutual interference between users sharing the same radio channel. The application relevant to third generation cellular systems which consist of UTRA (or WBCDMA) in Europe and CDMA2000 in the USA (or future merged standards variants of these systems), and has a special application to the time domain duplex (TDD) mode of these systems. An algorithm is provided whereby the equaliser is adapted to conform to some recognised optimality criterion which is known to lead to a minimum mutual interference situation. One method is the constrained minimum output finite impulse response (FIR) digital filter power condition, but the technique is not limited to this criterion. The method reduces the computation load of a digital filter by selecting a sparse subset of delay line taps which are actively weighted and used as a filter. The rest of the delay line taps are ignored. The active subsets are optimized.
