    摘要: Emergency call handling may, in the near future, require terminal unit location information to be provided to emergency service centers. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide improved techniques for using a system of monitoring or adjunct stations to provide this location information to the emergency service centers. For example, received signal strength measurements in conjunction with path loss models, alone or in conjunction with either time of arrival (TOA) or time difference of arrival (TDOA) techniques can be selectively used to process received signals and provide location information. Techniques for improving timing estimates are also disclosed.

    摘要: According to the present invention, the effects of the transmission medium on transmitted information symbols are estimated separately from other effects, e.g., those associated with receive and transmit filters, using knowledge of the pulse shaping. The medium response estimate is then used to detect information symbols. Previously, receivers had used estimates of the composite channel to detect symbols. This, however, assumed uncorrelated noise, which is not always the case.

    摘要: A positioning system locates a mobile unit by compensating for component tolerances in time-of-arrivals of received signals at a plurality of positioning radio receivers. The system determines detection times of the received radio signals at the positioning radio receivers. The system takes into account pre-stored signal delays associated with one or more receiver stages of the corresponding positioning radio receivers and the detection times, for determining time-of-arrivals for the received radio signals.

    摘要: A diversity scheme for allowing a transmitter/receiver, such as a mobile unit in a mobile telecommunications system, to exchange communication signals with more than one control station, such as a base station or satellite. According to an exemplary embodiment of the diversity scheme, the mobile unit scans for the control channel of a second satellite during idle time slots while communicating with a first satellite during active time slots. Once the mobile unit detects a control channel from a second satellite, the mobile unit stores synchronization information and establishes a communication link with the second satellite if shadowing or other severe fading causes signal quality over a communication link established with a first satellite to fall below a threshold level. The diversity scheme also allows the mobile unit to communicate simultaneously with two satellites, using alternate TDMA frames.

    摘要: A wireless communication receiver receiving a multiplexed signal comprising two or more signal streams calculates a received signal quality for the multiplexed signal as a function of stream-specific received signal qualities, determines one or more loss parameters indicative of variations in the stream-specific received signal qualities, and generates quality feedback based on such information. In turn, a transmitter controls the selection of one or more transmission parameters of the multiplexed signal based on the quality feedback, such that its transmit link adaptations account for the losses in received signal quality at the receiver arising from the variations in the stream-specific received signal qualities. The quality feedback may include calculated loss values, or parameter/penalties that permit loss calculation, and the method applies to both code multiplexing and spatial multiplexing.
