摘要:
Systems and methods for dual wireless communication technology communications are provided. A mobile station communicates with two transceivers of a base site, where each transceiver operates according to a different wireless communication technology. The mobile station can communicate uplink and downlink control information with a first transceiver of the base site while also communicating uplink and downlink data with a second transceiver. Alternatively, the mobile station may transmit uplink transmissions only to a first transceiver and only receive downlink transmissions from a second transceiver.

Systems and methods for enhancing the capacity of base stations are provided. A base station can operate in a time division duplex mode within a first frequency band. When a second frequency band is acquired for the base station's geographic region, a duplexer can be added to the base station. The base station can then operate in a frequency division duplex mode, where the first frequency band is used for base station downlink transmissions and the second frequency band is used for uplink transmissions.

Systems and methods for supporting multiple wireless communication technologies within a cell are provided. A base station can transmit a second wireless communication technology in a smaller coverage than the coverage of the first wireless communication technology, thereby producing an underlay-overlay cell radiation pattern. Whether a mobile station communicates with the base station using the first or second wireless communication technology can be based on a comparison of signal quality measures for the mobile station, or any other performance metric with a fixed or dynamic threshold.

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for performing asymmetric frequency division duplexing (FDD) are provided. The method includes allocating a first bandwidth for an uplink portion of an FDD data transmission; and allocating a second bandwidth for a downlink portion of the FDD data transmission; wherein the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth have different sizes.

Systems and methods for communicating between a wireless station and a base station are provided. A base station can allocate both a TDD channel and an FDD channel pair for communicating with a wireless station. The base station can transmit and receive unicast messages using the time slots of the TDD channel or can transmit multicast messages over all time slots of the TDD channel.

Systems and methods for a manually adjustable directional antenna are disclosed. The device includes a housing and the housing includes a wireless modem, a directional antenna and an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is coupled to the directional antenna via a mounting pipe. Alternatively, the housing includes a directional antenna, an adjustment mechanism, and a connector, which couples the directional antenna to an external modem. The adjustment mechanism may be an adjustment knob for the directional antenna within the housing or a rotatable turntable used to support and rotate the entire housing, including the directional antenna.

A system and method for frequency planning is provided. In systems with consecutive frequency channels, half-channel frequency reuse can be provided between channels employed by different cells. Specifically, two channels in two proximately located cells can overlap within the frequency spectrum by one-half of the frequency of a channel. Half-channel overlap can increase frequency reuse, and in turn, system capacity.

Methods and apparatuses for determining uplink receive signal path characteristics in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a tower-top noise source (TTNS) is provided such that it is permanently affixed in close proximity to a receive antenna. The TTNS preferably has an output that includes a wideband noise signal having predetermined characteristics. The TTNS output is selectively connected to a receive signal path that includes a tower-top low-noise amplifier (TTLNA). An altered version of the wideband noise signal is received at the output of the receive signal path, and a characteristic of the altered wideband noise signal is measured.
摘要:
A frequency reuse scheme that provides high spectral efficiency and reduced interference in areas where cell sites overlap is provided. Three frequencies are allocated per cell site, with each sector employing two frequencies, one frequency being transmitted at a higher power and the second frequency being transmitted at a lower power. The higher power frequency in one sector differs from the higher power frequency employed in the other two sectors, and the lower power frequency used in one sector differs from the lower power frequency used in the other two sectors.
