  • Patent number: 7469017
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a double TRU (Transceiver Unit) (45). The output signals from the power amplifiers (64, 84) are combined to one common output signal provided to an antenna arrangement (91). A DSP (Digital Signal Processor) (52, 72) of each TRU (50, 70) comprises means for a constant-envelope modulation scheme (54, 74) and a non-constant envelope scheme (53, 73). The DSP:s (52, 72) select the modulation scheme according to modulation information (49, 69). In such a way, a switching between different modulation schemes can be performed even on a time-slot basis. For non-constant-envelope modulation, the modulated signal is separated into two component signals. Each TRU (50, 70) takes care of the amplification of one component. A phase compensation of at least one of the TRU:s (50, 70) is performed in order to correct for different paths of phases of the power amplifiers (64, 84). The non-constant envelope modulated signal can also be a multi-carrier signal, e.g.

  • Patent number: 5991282
    Abstract: A communication system base station improves uplink coverage on a time slot by time slot basis. The coverage is improved by allocating diversity and non-diversity time-slots based on received signal quality of an RF link between a mobile station and a base station. The diversity time-slots are time slots during which information is received by more receiver branches than during the non-diversity time-slots.

  • Patent number: 5930248
    Abstract: A digital base station improves downlink coverage by allocating multicast and non-multicast channels based on the propagation property of an RF link between a mobile unit and a base station. The non-multicast channels are time slots during which information is transmitted from one antenna, and multicast channels are time slots during which information is transmitted from multiple diversity antennas. Transmission timing is offset from the diversity antennas by an amount that corresponds to the multipath propagation properties of the RF link.
