  • Publication number: 20240040666
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for bridging for mobile communications systems. A system may include a first bridge node that may include a first bridge transceiver configured to communicate with a plurality of cell signals, and one or more circuits configured to associate with each cell signal, a corresponding first bridge link carrier frequency in a first bridge link frequency band, a corresponding second bridge link carrier frequency in a second bridge link frequency band, and one or more second bridge nodes. The first bridge transceiver may communicate with one or more second bridge nodes associated with a cell signal, at the first bridge link carrier frequency associated with the cell signal.

  • Patent number: 11805572
    Abstract: A bridge for bridging mobile communications may include a donor bridge node and/or one or more service bridge nodes. The donor bridge node may be configured to connect to a base station pooling location comprising a plurality of cell signals, determine for each cell signal a service link carrier frequency in a service link frequency band and a bridge link carrier frequency in a bridge link frequency band, associate each cell signal and the determined carrier frequencies in the service link frequency band and in the bridge link frequency band with the one or more service bridge nodes, and communicate each cell signal at the bridge link carrier frequency of the cell signal. The service bridge nodes may communicate with the donor bridge node at the carrier frequency of the bridge link frequency band and with user equipment in the service link carrier frequency of the service link frequency band.

  • Patent number: 8818289
    Abstract: A measuring device for measuring a device under test comprises a first subscriber, a second subscriber, a first virtual antenna array and a processing device. The device under test in this context is a mobile station. The first virtual antenna array comprises at least two mobile stations. The first virtual antenna array contains the device under test. The first subscriber is arranged in such a manner that it transmits signals to the first virtual antenna array. The first virtual antenna array in this context is arranged in such a manner that it transmits signals at least indirectly to the second subscriber. The processing device is designed in such a manner that it compares signals transmitted to the device under test and transmitted from the device under test.

  • Patent number: 8533247
    Abstract: The electronic circuit arrangement is used for generating poly-phase sequences as synchronization sequences and/or reference sequences in radio communications systems. It comprises a first adder, a first multiplier, a first register, a second register, a first counter and a trigonometry device. The first adder adds a value (km) formed from the value (k) of the counter to the value (B) of the first register. The first multiplier multiplies the value (A) of the second register by a value (y) formed from the value (B) of the first register and the value (k) of the counter. The trigonometry device forms the real part and the imaginary part of the present value of the poly-phase sequence (ak) from a value formed at least from the output value (wk) of the first multiplier.

  • Patent number: 8509700
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for testing a mobile radio device comprising at least one first antenna (9) and a second antenna (10), and to a mobile radio device (2) and test equipment (1). A signal generation unit (5) of the test equipment (1) generates a test signal (27). The test signal is transmitted to a mobile radio device (2) to be tested and is received by the mobile radio device (2) and evaluated. The mobile radio device (2) then generates a response signal (31) and a transmission schedule (30) for transmitting the response signal via the first antenna (9) and/or the second antenna (10) is defined. The response signal (33) is transmitted according to the transmission schedule and received by the test equipment (1). The transmission schedule used is determined by the test equipment. The transmission schedule (36) used is then determined.

  • Patent number: 8340124
    Abstract: A method detects a bandwidth that is transmitted by a transmitter in a radio communications system, which is based on transmission frames. The transmission frames comprise a fixed time extension and a variable spectral extension. The transmission frames consist of a plurality of sub-units. Each sub-unit of the transmission frames contains a control channel, which is subdivided into two sub-control channels. The two sub-control channels are arranged at the spectral edges of the sub-units of the transmission frames. The transmitted bandwidth is investigated by determining the spectral extension of the transmission frame. The spectral extension of the transmission frame is determined by determining the spectral position of the sub-control channels in the sub-units of the transmission frames.
