    摘要: A wireless communication system and method comprising co-location of a pico evolved node B (“eNB”) and a macro up-link repeater is disclosed. User Equipment (“UE”) communicates with a macro eNB via the up-link repeater with reduced transmission power as compared to the transmission power required for the UE to communicate directly with the macro eNB. As a result, the UE does not desensitize the pico eNB receiver. The up-link repeater comprises a donor antenna that radiates a highly directional beam to the macro eNB.

    摘要: A system and method for crest factor reduction of OFDM transmission systems using selective sub-carrier degradation, is disclosed. A modulated communications signal comprising a series of symbols is converted into parallel format in groups of plural symbols in the frequency domain. Crest factor reduction reduces a primary peak of the groups of plural symbols by selective sub-carrier degradation, to generate peak reduction symbols. The groups of plural symbols are converted into time domain symbols, and combined with the peak reduction symbols to provide peak reduced symbols in time domain.

    摘要: A fast search algorithm for loop alignment of a feed forward amplifier is disclosed. The algorithm controls a processor that adjusts, digitally, the gain and phase of the loop alignment based on power measurements at the input and output of cancellation combiners, to find the optimal setting. A “non-collinear descent” algorithm is used to search, iteratively, for the minimum within an error surface. For loop alignment, the error surface is defined by the set of measurement points comprising the alignment settings and the associated cancellation residuals. For the case of first loop alignment, the cancellation residual is measured using the ratio of two power detectors located at the input and after the cancellation (error) combiner. For second loop alignment, cancellation is estimated using the residual pilot power detected at the output of the amplifier. The preferred alignment method uses three successive measurements to estimate the gradient direction with respect to gain and phase shifter settings. The actual descent direction is selected to be close to the gradient direction without being collinear with the most recent alignment adjustments. Quantization of the descent direction simplifies the implementation as well as the enforcement of the non-collinearity constraint on successive alignment settings. Two different step size selection approaches are disclosed, however, any standard step size selection approach may be employed.

    摘要: A combination of repeaters and relays is used to improve the data throughput for user equipment (“UE”) near the cell edge in a LTE network. Amplify-and-forward repeaters and decode-and-forward relays enhance the down-link and up-link, respectively. Relay assistance on the up-link occurs when the evolved Node B (“eNB”) requests a retransmission (HARQ) from the UE at which point the UE and relay transmit simultaneously in a cooperative fashion. The quality of the up-link signal received by the eNB is improved due to a favorable channel through the relay. An analysis shows that relay assistance improves the throughput for a cell-edge user when the average delay per data transport block is allowed to increase.

    摘要: A wireless repeater includes an internal feedback path for adaptively cancelling an echo between an output antenna and an input antenna. The internal feedback path employs an adaptive algorithm implementing a list having a plurality of list elements. Each list element has one or more echo cancellation parameters and one or more repeater settings. The list may be pruned by employing a minimum distance between elements within the list. A method for stabilizing a wireless repeater includes obtaining an autocorrelation of a signal in a signal path of the repeater, detecting an echo in the signal path based on the autocorrelation, providing a list of elements indicating past successful echo cancellation coefficients and associated repeater settings, and adaptively adjusting an error of the echo cancellation coefficients to cancel the echo in the signal path.

    摘要: A system and method of compensating for the effects of the antenna coupling in on-frequency repeaters, whose input and output signals are the same frequency, are disclosed. The repeater is implemented with internal digitally determined compensation that reduces the effect of the antenna coupling, allowing the forward gain of the repeater to be increased. The real and imaginary components of the forward gain are dithered. The change in the power spectrum of the signal in response to the dithering is used to estimate the residual (uncompensated) feedback coupling.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing baseband predistortion within a transmitter. In a simplified embodiment, the transmitter contains a main signal path that receives an input signal and generates a main signal in response thereto. A filter in the main signal path is used for removing unwanted signal components from the main signal. A power amplifier having non-linearity is also located within the transmitter. A digital predistortion module is used by the transmitter to digitally process the input signal to generate a predistortion signal that models an inverse of the non-linearity of the power amplifier. In addition, means, located between the filter and the power amplifier, for combining the predistortion signal with the main signal to generate a combined signal, and for providing the combined signal to the power amplifier, is located within the transmitter.
