摘要:
Cellular signals or other wireless signals/messages are introduced into a building or to an outside location by transmitting packets corresponding to those signals over a data network and low cost cables to designated locations within the data network. Once the designated packets containing the signals reach the destination, they are then broadcast over the air to a terminal capable of receiving the wireless message. In a first embodiment, an in-building gigabit Ethernet network, such as that currently existing presently in many buildings, is used to distribute radio signals indoors. Instead of transmitting the radio signals over the air from a repeater connected to a base station, coded baseband signals generated by the coding processor (e.g., a CDMA Modem Unit) in the base station are packetized and sent over the Ethernet network to radio processing equipment and antennas distributed throughout the building. The radio processing equipment strips the packet headers from the baseband signal packets so those signals can be broadcast via the antennas to one or more mobile terminals.

A method and an apparatus for enabling a digital wireless service across a first and a second wireless communications environment is provided. The method comprises translating a receive signal carried on a forward link and having a first carrier frequency in the first wireless communications environment from a first frequency band to a second frequency band different from the first frequency band. The method further comprises translating a transmit signal carried on a reverse link and having a second carrier frequency in the first wireless communications environment from the second frequency band to the first frequency band. In this way, a digital wireless service may be provided between a mobile station and at least one base station on the ground across two different wireless communications environments. The method further comprises compensating Doppler shift separately for individual beams directed at a plurality of terrestrial base stations. The method further comprises injecting an additional path delay to insure that the terrestrial base stations receive reverse link signals at substantially similar round trip time offsets and to reduce search windows for the terrestrial base stations. In this way, a wireless communication system may enable in-flight use of a mobile station to communicate with one or more base stations on the ground.

The present invention provides a method for transmitting voice packet data over a selected one of a first network in which multiple devices belonging to a defined set communicate with each other according to a first protocol and a second network in which multiple devices communicate with each other according to a second protocol, different from the first protocol. The method includes establishing at least one radio bearer between at least two devices in the first network according to the first protocol, receiving at least one voice packet that conforms to the second protocol, modifying the at least one voice packet to conform to the first and the second protocols, and transmitting the at least one modified voice packet using the at least one radio bearer.

The present invention provides a method is provided for soft vertical handovers. The method includes requesting a handover from a first wireless network that operates according to a first protocol to a second wireless network that operates according to a second protocol, the first protocol being different than the second protocol, via a first wireless telecommunication link that operates according to the first protocol. The method also includes forming, in response to the handover request, a second wireless telecommunications link according to the first and second protocols, the second wireless telecommunications link being concurrent with the first wireless telecommunication link. The method further includes dropping the first wireless telecommunications link after forming the second wireless telecommunications link.

An apparatus and method for deploying a payload at a location are provided. The apparatus includes a mount adapted to be attached to a mobile unit while allowing normal operation of the mobile unit, and a deployment mechanism. The deployment mechanism supports a payload securing mode in which the deployment mechanism secures the payload to the mount and a payload deployment mode in which the deployment mechanism causes the payload to be ejected from the mount. The deployment mechanism is adapted to transition from the payload securing mode to the payload deployment mode in response to a control signal. The deployment mechanism includes a securing means adapted for securing the payload to the mount, an ejecting means adapted for ejecting the payload from the mount, and a breaking means adapted for breaking the securing means in response to a control signal, thereby causing the ejecting means to eject the payload from the mount.

The present invention provides methods for detecting a wireless air interface. The method includes receiving information indicative of at least one wireless access type, determining whether the information indicative of the at least one wireless access type is within an expected range, performing at least one first measurement associated with a first air interface in response to determining that the information indicative of the at least one wireless access type is within the expected range, and performing at least one second measurement associated with a second air interface in response to determining that the information indicative of the at least one wireless access type is not within the expected range.
摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for reducing channel information feedback in communication networks. For example, a method comprises the following steps. A set of mobile terminals and a set of base stations designated to participate in a coordinated multipoint transmission protocol in a communication network are identified. One or more unique downlink communication resource blocks are assigned to each designated mobile terminal that is located in a given first sector of a designated base station. As such, each designated mobile terminal in the first sector of the designated base station: (i) performs a channel state estimation process in response to respective signals received from the designated base stations in the one or more unique downlink communication resource blocks assigned to that designated mobile terminal; and (ii) transmits resulting channel state information back to at least one of the designated base stations.

The present invention provides a method for transmitting time-sensitive packet data over a network in which multiple devices belonging to a defined set communicate with each other. The method includes receiving at least one first packet containing voice data, processing the at least one first packet using a real-time packet-enabled stack to form at least one second packet, and providing the at least one second packet to a synchronous controller for transmission over the network.
