摘要： A method and apparatus for processing multiple signals at a common frequency combined into a single radio frequency cable and subsequently recovering the signals without significant losses, distortion, or cross-talk. The method and apparatus includes processing multiple signals at a common frequency fed through a single radio frequency (RF) cable with or without one or more amplifiers and utilized for either forward or reverse link transmissions. The invention enables a single power amplifier to amplify multiple RF signals that occupy a common frequency channel and after amplification splitting these signals into amplified copies of the originals. The amplified signals may be sent to different antenna ports to illuminate different base station sectors if required. The signal splitting function is performed at the antenna masthead such that this method reduces the number of feeder cables running up the antenna tower by a factor of N, where N is the number of common frequency signals (e.g., the number of sectors) amplified by the single power amplifier. This invention enables a single power amplifier to simultaneously provide all the radio frequency signals necessary to feed a general N input phased array antenna system and form multiple antenna beams uniquely for several individual users simultaneously.

摘要： A method and apparatus for transmitting wireless data to users which increases the wireless capacity for data transmissions within a sector served by a base station is disclosed. Accordingly, the sector is subdivided into a plurality of beams, typically by means of beam forming antennas, and the user data to be transmitted is time division multiplexed by scheduling the data into timeslots for transmission via the beams. Capacity is thus increased by decreasing network interference and/or transmitting data to more than one user at the same time by means of the multiple beams, and time division multiplexing the data. Preferably multiple users can be scheduled on multiple beams simultaneously in order to increase capacity. Preferably the same user can be allocated more than one beam if the radio conditions warrant. Such a system is optimized for data and carries out the following steps: a. Evaluating the reverse link wireless conditions for each user; b. responsive to step a, generating information defining the beam or beams to be utilized by each user; c. generating a Scheduler Metric (SM) for every user; d. scheduling each of the n beams based on the SM and said information for each user; and e. transmitting data scheduled in step d on said n beams.

摘要： A forward link transmitter in a sectored cell includes a baseband processor having traditional baseband signal digital processing circuitry in addition to including a digital hybrid matrix (vector and delay compensated transformation module) whose phase and amplitude (vector) and delay may be adjusted to compensate for downstream errors that are introduced and detected by a feedback circuit. Accordingly, the baseband processor, by monitoring an output of an analog hybrid matrix producing modulated and amplified radio frequency (RF) signals just prior to propagation from an antenna, can determine errors produced by the analog circuitry including the analog hybrid matrix and may compensate for the same by introducing an amplitude, phase and delay adjustment (in the digital domain) into output digital waveform signals to compensate for the error introduced downstream to the baseband processor.

摘要： Antenna systems are used for transmitting common overhead channels (pilot, sync, and paging channels) over a whole sector while transmitting and receiving unique traffic channels on individual beams in the sector. Each beam in the sector is transmitted at a frequency offset from other beams in the sector. The offset frequency is chosen such that the effect of cancellation of the pilot channel caused by the summing of signals from multiple beams is minimized. Alternative, each beam in the sector can have a time dependent phase offset relative to each other to minimize the effect of cancellation of the pilot channel caused by the summing of signals from multiple beams. System capacity is substantially increased since the number of traffic carrying beams per sector is increased without using more pilot channel PN offsets. Beams are fixed and the same antennas are used for the overhead channels as the traffic channels, obviating the need for complex algorithms and calibration procedures.

摘要： Methods and devices for extracting a RACH preamble using as input a number of Fast Fourier Transformed symbols, in order to extract a random access channel (RACH) preamble from a signal received in a base station from a user device, in a radio communication system, are provided. An initial cyclic prefix (symbol CP) is removed prior to performing FFT on symbols. After (1) selecting from the FFT of a symbol frequencies corresponding to the RACH band all other non-RACH frequency bins having been set to zero, (2) shifting the signal to baseband and (3) performing a FFT on the baseband signal, a phase adjustment is performed to compensate for group delays due to symbol CP gaps occurring when generating the baseband signal, the phase adjustment being determined individually for each symbol.
