Patent number: 7653347Abstract: A Doppler compensation method is used for radio transmission between a mobile body possibly but not exclusively a train and some base station, both mobile body and base station comprise respectively a transceiver connected to an antenna for the radio transmission. The method comprises the step of determining the direction of motion of the mobile body with respect to the active base station i.e. the base station to which a radio transmission link is just built. The method is then followed by the step to apply a constant Doppler compensation corresponding to the cancellation of the Doppler effect for a mobile body moving in the same direction at predefined limiting speed of motion (vlimit) at which a quality threshold is reached with the used radio transmission technology in the case without a Doppler compensation.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2006Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Ralf Klotsche, Klaus Wünstel, Thomas-Rolf Banniza

Publication number: 20070155333Abstract: The goal of the invention is to keep the delay of a communication signal between a moving vehicle (mobile body) and a fixed base station constant. This is achieved by a Doppler compensation method for data to be transmitted within frames via radio transmission between a mobile body and some base station, both mobile body and base station comprise respectively a transceiver connected to an antenna for the radio transmission. The method comprises the step of determining the Doppler effect acting on the frames when transmitted as a signal through that radio transmission for a given speed and direction of motion of the mobile body with respect to the base station. It is then followed by the step to apply by the transceiver some sampling procedure comprising an allocation of different time delays to the signal, the different time delays being chosen following a law adapted to compensate the determined Doppler effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2006Publication date: July 5, 2007Inventors: Thomas-Rolf Banniza, Ralf Klotsche, Klaus Wunstel
