    摘要: The transmit power of a base station transmission to a mobile station is advantageously controlled. The base station receives a signal from the mobile station and determines a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) associated with the received signal. The base station controls its transmit power to the mobile station using the determined SIR value in conjunction with a transmit power control command received from the mobile station. When the mobile station is in the process of a soft handover involving two or more base stations, each of those base stations determines an SIR value associated with a signal received from the mobile station. Moreover, each of the base stations controls its respective power using both the power control command received from the mobile station and the SIR determined by that base station. Similarly, when the mobile station is in the process of softer handover involving two or more sectors of a single base station, the SIR associated with a signal received from the mobile station in each of those base station sectors is determined and used to control the respective power of each base station sector in conjunction with a power control command received from the mobile station.

    摘要: An optical amplifier device intended for WDM light signals comprises a preamplifier (3) and a power amplifier (11) of the optical fiber amplifier type, which are connected in series and have gain curves dependent on the wavelength. A controllable attenuator (5) is connected between the amplifiers (3 and 11) and is controlled by a control device (7). The signal input to the preamplifier (3) has a low power and is amplified to provide an output signal where the signals of the input channels have been amplified with different gains. The input signal of the power amplifier (11) then has a larger power resulting in a gain characteristic different from that of the preamplifier (3). By adapting the attenuation of the attenuator (5) for variations in the input signal the gain characteristic of the power amplifier (11) can be set so that the signal output from the amplifier device has a spectral dependence that is the same as the original spectral dependence obtained without variations. Also, the same spectral dependence can be maintained when the pump light power of the power amplifier is changed and then the total amplifier gain is changed, by adapting the attenuation of the attenuator (5) so that the gain of the power amplifier is not changed. In the amplifier the lower possible noise from the preamplifier stage is added to the input signal and the full output power is always available from the power amplifier. If the input signal is e.g. increased the SNR of the signals passing through the amplifier is correspondingly improved. This improves the performance of an optical network in which the amplifier is used.

    摘要: An add/drop (7) node for an optical fiber network of WDM type has preamplifiers (19, 21) connected to the input fibers (3, 11). Part of the incoming signal power is tapped off by means of drop couplers or splitters (47, 49) and the tapped-off power is provided to a demultiplexer (51) where WDM information channels to be extracted from the network in the node are separated from each other and then fed to opto-electrical receivers (15). WDM information channels to be added in the node from electro-optical transmitters (17) are first combined in a multiplexer (61), the resulting signal being provided to add couplers (57, 59) to which also the signals incoming to the node are provided so that a combined signal is obtained for transmission to the opposite side of the node (7). Channels are thus added in the node to channels passing substantially ininterrupedly through the node. In order to have a low attenuation of the passing signals, the power per channel in the added signal is given approximately the same level as the power of each passing channel by an optical amplifier (65, 67) arranged in the input line to the add coupler from the multiplexer (61). By this arrangement it is possible to maintain a low attenuation of the passing signals within the optical add/drop node, since no extra attenuating devices are needed for the light signal containing the passing channels. The signal to noise ratio of these channels can thus be kept high.
