    摘要: In a simulcast communication system (100), a communication unit (110-115) may request enhanced coverage area services by transmitting a request for enhanced signal quality to a central simulcast controller (101). Upon receipt, the central simulcast controller (101) identifies, based on information pertaining to the location of the communication unit, a set of transmitters (102-109) to enhance coverage in the area of the communication unit. The central simulcast controller determines enhanced coverage area delays for each of the transmitters and adjusts the respective delays of each transmitter such that transmitted signal quality is enhanced at the location of the communication unit.

    摘要: An improved synchronization method and apparatus, according to the invention, is provided. According to the invention, in a simulcast system having a remote site receiving frames from a base site, each frame containing a predetermined number (k) of transmit sample periods, and the transmit sample clock and remote synchronization clock frequencies known (f.sub.tx and f.sub.pps respectively), the remote site synchronizes a frame as follows. First, it receives a frame from the base site. Second, it determines the sequence number n for the frame. Third, it determines the launch time the first frame was to be broadcast from the remote site. Fourth, it computes a realignment time based on [(n-1)*(k)+launch time for first frame] MOD (f.sub.tx f.sub.pps). Fifth, it transmits the first bit of the frame at the realignment time.

    摘要: A method for measuring channel delay measures the delay for a message to propagate from a prime site (100, 400) to a remote site (200, 500) via the channel (300, 600). The prime site includes a clock for providing a first value, T1, based on the current time at the prime site. The remote site includes a clock for providing a second value, T2, based on the current time at the remote site. Both clocks are synchronized with a common timing source, such as a GPS satellite timing signal. Therefore, T2 equals T1. In one embodiment, the prime site determines T1, and simultaneously sends a message to the remote site via the channel, the message including T1. Upon receiving the message, the remote site simultaneously determines T2. The remote site decodes the message to determine T1, and then determines the delay based on the difference between T2 and T1.

    摘要: An adaptive digital equalization filter is provided to remedy the differential time delay problem in a digital simulcast system. The digital simulcast system includes an adaptive digital equalization filter with N coefficients, and a fixed analog anti-alias filter. According to the invention, the adaptive digital equalization filter first measures the amount of delay contributed to the output signal by the fixed anti-alias filter. This is accomplished by exciting the anti-alias filter with a unit impulse, and measuring the resulting impulse response. The adaptive filter next determines the characteristics needed to compensate for the amount of measured delay contributed to the output signal by the fixed filter. This is accomplished by computing a new set of N coefficients using the Levinson-Durbin algorithm. The adaptive filter next adjusts its coefficients based on these determined characteristics. Further, the adaptive filter periodically determines when it is time to update the N coefficients.

    摘要: A simulcast radio transmission system (250) transmits message signals (318) including selective call tones, originating from a message source (202), to a geographical area (115). The simulcast system includes a controller (204) coupled between the message source (202) and a plurality of remote transmitter sites (208, 210) for exchanging message signals (318) including selective call tones therebetween. Connecting the controller (204) to the plurality of transmitter sites (208, 210) are a plurality of interconnect links (224, 226), each having bounded propagation time delay characteristics. The simulcast system (250) employs phase numbers associated with the starting phase of the selective call tones to allow accurate reconstruction of the selective call tones. The controller (204) then combines (508) the message signals (318) with the launch time and the phase number to establish a message bundle and sends the message bundle to at least one of the plurality of transmitters (208, 210), via at least one of the plurality of interconnect links (224, 226).

    摘要: In a digital communication system, communication units may reduce power consumption while attempting to detect reception of valid data by sampling and filtering a data stream at a first sampling rate producing a first filtered data stream. When the first filtered data stream indicates potential valid data, the communication unit samples and filters the data stream at a second sampling rate, wherein the second sampling rate is greater than the first sampling rate and consumes more power, producing a second filtered data stream. The communication unit determines whether the data stream contains valid data based on the second filtered data stream.

    摘要: A mobile station (110) selects an initial data rate for communication between base station (107) and mobile station (110). Mobile station (110) communicates the selected initial data rate to base station (107) through uplink (112). Base station (107) determines a difference level of interference condition experienced by mobile station (107) between a time when the initial data rate was selected by mobile station (110) and a time when base station (107) prepares to communicate to mobile station (110). Base station (107) selects a final data rate for transmission from base station (107) to mobile station (110) based on the determined difference level of interference condition. As such, the initial data rate may be modified to the final data rate while maximizing the down link capacity.
