摘要： In order to correct frequency deviations of signals in a multicarrier system, such as a OFDM-system, the present invention provides a frequency tracker and a method to operate the same. The frequency tracker is based on a decision directed digital phase locked loop exhibiting a predictive character. On the basis of an estimated phase offset for a received signal (signal component, signal symbol) a predicted phase offset is calculated and applied to the signal (signal component, signal symbol). Further, received signals (signal components, signal symbols) are sampled and for each sample a sample phase offset to be corrected is calculated in dependence to the related estimated phase offset to incorporate the predictive character. In particular, the predicted sample phase offsets are calculated as a function of a corresponding predicted phase offset and a measure being indicative of a distance, in the time domain, between a corresponding phase reference point for the predicted phase offset and a phase reference point defined for a specific part of the received signal, preferably for a preceding preamble signal.

摘要： The present invention concerns a method for estimating the time-dispersion of a channel comprising D subchannels, wherein one computes from a received signal a set of estimated Channel Transfer Factors (CTF's) Ĥ[ν], where ν(0≦ν≦D) is the subchannel number, said method comprising a step of calculating, for a predetermined strictly positive integer d, a correlation factor Cd representing the correlations, both in amplitude and in phase, between pairs Ĥ[ν] and Ĥ[ν+d] of said computed CTF estimates. By an appropriate choice of d, the time-dispersion resolution can be adapted to most prevalent channels. The correlation is optionally corrected according to the mean channel estimation signal-to-noise ratio. This method can be used for many applications where knowing the time-dispersion characteristics of a channel is required, and is, for example, particularly suitable for designing a channel estimation filter, and for link adaptation. Application to devices and apparatus implementing these methods.

摘要： Method of arranging a cellular radio network in a geographical area which is already covered by an existing cellular radio network, wherein cell clusters of the cellular radio network to be introduced and using a specific transmission frequency are located in areas determined by connecting at least two cells of the existing cellular radio network using the specific transmission frequency, and wherein the cell clusters are arranged such that they do not overlap with the cells of the existing cellular radio network. The cell clusters of the introduced cellular radio network may be adjusted by reducing the cell size of cell clusters of the introduced cellular radio network, and by introducing new cells into cell clusters of the introduced cellular radio network. The invention allows to reuse frequencies of an existing cellular radio network by an introduced cellular radio network in the same geographical area.
