Patent number: 6643333Abstract: In a method according to the invention, N data symbols of a subscriber signal form a block. In a first method step, the block is divided into a plurality of partial blocks having Ns data symbols. The Ns data symbols are then allocated to sub-carriers and are modulated in parallel onto the various sub-carriers, the modulation being carried out for each of the sub-carriers with at least one individual code symbol. The sub-carriers are heterodyned to form a broadband carrier, so that the Ns data symbols are transmitted simultaneously. The transmission then takes place in N/Ns successive partial blocks via the radio interface.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1999Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Peter Jung, Friedbert Berens, Joerg Plechinger, Paul Walter Baier

Patent number: 6606314Abstract: In a method for data transmission in a radio communications system, a radio interface is subdivided into time slots for a transmission of bursts. In this case, the data are transmitted in data channels in a time slot, in which data channels can be distinguished by use of individual spread codes. A finite burst containing data symbols and at least one midamble with known symbols is used for data transmission in a data channel. At least one parameter is determined for the traffic conditions of the radio interface, and a ratio of a length of the midamble and a data part with data symbols is adjusted depending on the traffic conditions. The method is suitable in particular for use in 3rd generation TD/CDMA mobile radio networks.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2000Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Stefan Bahrenburg, Christoph Euscher, Tobias Weber, Paul Walter Baier, Jürgen Mayer, Johannes Schlee

Patent number: 6519477Abstract: A method for estimating a channel from received signals transmitted via the channel, includes the steps of receiving the received signals with receiving sensors of a receiving device. The received signals are composed of a plurality of subscriber signals. The subscriber signals are marked with transmitter-specific fine structures. A subscriber signal of the plurality of subscriber signals is transmitted by a plurality of wave elements having differing incidence directions at a receiving point. An incidence direction of at least one of the wave elements is obtained in the receiving device. Directionally selective channel impulse responses are determined from the plurality of received signals and the incidence direction of the at least one wave element.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1999Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Paul Walter Baier, Josef Blanz, Martin Haardt, Apostolos Papathanassiou

Patent number: 6381260Abstract: Data is transmitted via a radio interface in a radio communications system in that at least one subscriber signal is transmitted, which has an individual fine structure applied to it and, in addition to data symbols in data sections, contains a midamble with known symbols. The fine structures of the data sections and of the midamble differ. At the transmission end, a sum signal is produced which contains signal sections to which different fine structures are applied. The sum signal is filtered in at least one transmission filter and is transmitted via a transmission channel to a receiving radio station. A control device controls the addition so that different attenuation of the signal sections is compensated for by the filtering. The method is suitable, in particular, for mobile stations having a single or variable data rate, and for base stations for use in 3rd generation TD/CDMA mobile radio networks.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2000Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Stefan Bahrenburg, Paul Walter Baier, Dieter Emmer, Tobias Weber, Jürgen Mayer, Johannes Schlee

Patent number: 6225948Abstract: Signals in the form of wave elements of one or more subscriber signals are received at a receiving device assigned a number Ka of receiving sensors and the direction of the signals is estimated. Ka received signals are received via the receiving sensors and are composed of at least one subscriber signal which has a transmitter-specific fine structure impressed on it. A kth subscriber signal, with k=1 . . . K, is transmitted by means of Kd wave elements whose directions of arrival at the receiving location differ. Channel impulse responses assigned to the Ka receiving sensors are determined from the received signals, and the direction of arrival of at least one wave element is determined from the channel impulse responses. The direction estimation can advantageously be used in mobile radio, radar, sonar or seismic measurement systems.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1999Date of Patent: May 1, 2001Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Paul Walter Baier, Josef Blanz, Martin Haardt, Ralph Schmalenberger

Patent number: 5970060Abstract: In a radio system which operates using code division multiplex (CDMA) the interference in the training sequences, for example interblock sequences, of all the K subscribers in the received signal is overcome before data detection at the receiving end. The interference in the training sequences of all K subscribers is modeled using the estimated channel pulse responses and, finally, is subtracted from the received signal. The method and apparatus can be used in CDMA mobile radio systems, in particular with joint detection.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1996Date of Patent: October 19, 1999Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Paul-Walter Baier, Markus Nasshan, Bernd Steiner

Patent number: 5793814Abstract: In a transmission method for simultaneous synchronous or asynchronous transmission of K data sequences consisting of data symbols, before transmission a specific signal form allocated to the data sequences is modulated on each of the data symbols of the K data sequences transmitted via a channel or K generally distinguishable channels, in order to generate the K transmission signals, which are all distorted by the one channel, or one of the K channels. In the receiver, continuous-valued provisional estimated values are calculated for some or all of the data symbols of the K input sequences according to a linear method, and a confidence level for the estimated values is calculated.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1996Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Paul-Walter Baier, Anja Klein, Martin Werner

Patent number: 5568519Abstract: A method for separating a signal mix composed of the additive superposition of M known functions that are weighted with M unknown weighting factors, whereby all or some of the functions are chronologically and/or spectrally not disjunctive. The signal mix including a potential noise signal is supplied to a signal evaluation device that, by filtering, forms true-to-expectation estimated values for the unknown weighting factors. For the first time, this provides a true-to-expectation separation of a signal mix composed of non-orthogonal functions. An apparatus for the implementation of the method forms linear combinations of the correlation products from the input signal and from the functions to be separated. Instead of the functions to be separated, versions of these functions modified according to the properties of the superimposed noise signal can also be used in the formation of the correlation products.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 1992Date of Patent: October 22, 1996Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Paul-Walter Baier, Tobias Felhauer, Thomas Zimmermann, Anja Klein
