Transmit-time equaliser has chain of fixed and variable equalisers - separated by amplifiers allowing one parameter to set linearity

The transit-time equaliser has its linearity adjusted by altering one parameter only, and consists of six networks separated by amplifiers. Three of these networks are pre-set fixed equalisers (3FE), the fourth is a transit--tie equaliser (FLE) with re-solderable step-wise adjustment, the fifth is an adjustable AM equaliser (AE). The composite equaliser is connected to the mixer's output, via an amplifier and pre-emphasiser, and to the input of the output amplifier. The advantage of altering only one parameter in setting linearity naturally lies in simplicity.

[Also in Group XL (c)] Part of the signal received by apparatus 1 for retransmission by apparatus 3 at a radio or line relay station is demodulated at 5 to derive a supervisory or other tone which is modulated on the incoming signal. This tone is passed through a phase reverser 6 and is used to remodulate the signal to cancel at least in part the existing tone modulation so that by operating a circuit interrupter 8 the succeeding stations may be signalled. The invention is described with reference to an F.M. radio system of the type described in Specification 654,016, [Group XL (c)], and includes an attenuator 7 to adjust the level of the remodu- 1ating tone.

Base station applies interference cancellation to separate out bridging station transmissions

A communication network comprises a plurality of bridging station BRS1-BRS6 deployed around a base station 130, so defining a circumference around it. Each bridging station BRS1-BRS6 comprises one or more directional antennas operable to generate a coverage area 101-106 lying predominantly outside the circumference. This forms an outer zone predominantly outside the circumference serviced by the bridging stations BRS1-BRS6 and an inner zone within the circumference serviced by the base station 130. In operation, the base station 130 applies an interference cancellation technique (943, fig.11) to separate out signal components originating from respective bridging station BRS1-BRS6 transmissions. The interference cancellation technique may comprise reconstructing the stronger signals from the bridging stations BRS1-BRS6 and subtracting the reconstructed signals from the received signal to leave only the remaining inner zone signals superposed upon each other. A multi-user detection (MUD) ...

Base station repeater

Operating a base station repeater having a power control function, the mobile terminal uplink transmit power decreases in response to an increase in signal strength of the uplink signal received at the network, including increasing the gain of the repeater (at 202, Fig. 5) in response to an increase in the uplink signal received above a threshold (Th1) for a time interval (T1), and subsequently decreasing the gain of the repeater (at 204, 206, Fig. 5) until the measured power in the uplink signal received exceeds a threshold (Th1) for a time interval (T1). Due to the power control function, increasing the gain of the repeater causes the transmit power of the mobile terminal, and hence the uplink signal received at the repeater, to decrease. Again, due to the power control function, decreasing the gain of the repeater causes the transmit power of the mobile terminal, and hence the uplink signal received at the repeater, to increase. If the threshold is not exceeded this is indicative of ...

Relay station for multi-hop communication system

Relays in mobile communication systems are generally used to increase the range or coverage of mobile communication reception. However, due to the non-linear nature of multipath fading they can also be used to reduce attenuation even in an area with adequate reception. By making a base station communicate via a relay station even if it does not need to fading effects can be reduced. However, the transmitted messages need to be a certain structure to allow both legacy and new mobile devices to take advantage and communicate with the relay station rather than directly with the base station. For example, a message containing a preamble must be transmitted in a first transmission window of a transmission interval. The transmission windows can be, for example, time slots in a TDMA system.
