Abstract: A base station including a transmitting and receiving amplifier for amplifying CDMA signals exchanged with a mobile station; a radio stage connected to the transmitting and receiving amplifier for carrying out D/A conversion of a transmitted signal that undergoes baseband spreading, followed by quadrature modulation, and for carrying out quasi-coherent detection of a received signal, followed by A/D conversion; a baseband signal processor connected with the radio stage for carrying out baseband signal processing of the transmitted signal and the received signal; a transmission interface connected with the baseband signal processor for implementing interface with external channels; and a base station controller for carrying out control such as management of radio channels and establishment and release of the radio channels. The base station communicates with the external channels by mapping logical channels into physical channels. The CDMA signals are spread using a short code and a long code.

Abstract: A device and method for processing information fragments, the method includes: receiving multiple information fragments from multiple communication paths; wherein the each information fragment is associated with a cyclic serial number indicating of a generation time of the information fragment; storing the multiple information fragments in multiple input queues, each input queue being associated with a communication path out of the multiple communication paths; determining whether at least one serial number associated with at least one valid information fragment positioned in a head of one of the multiple input queues is located within a pre-rollout serial number range; mapping, in response to the determination, serial numbers associated with each of the valid information fragment positioned in the heads of the multiple input queues to at least one serial number range that differs from the pre-rollout serial number range; and sending to an output queue information fragment metadata associated with a minimal v

Abstract: Equipment for transmitting a signal, the equipment comprising an antenna array (600-606) for providing three or more radiation antenna patterns. The equipment is arranged to transmit a primary common pilot signal with at most two radiation patterns and a secondary common pilot signal with at least one radiation pattern. The equipment comprises controllers (622a-622d) for adjusting the power ratio between the primary and the secondary common pilot signal and the total power of the primary and the secondary common pilot signals, and controllers (614a-614d) for adjusting the transmit power of the dedicated pilot signal, such that the power levels of the dedicated pilot signals transmitted with the same radiation patterns as the secondary common pilot signal are relatively higher than the power levels of the dedicated pilot signals transmitted with the same radiation patterns as the primary common pilots.
