Abstract: An interface, apparatus, and method are described for communication between a radio control (REC) node and first and second radio equipment (RE) nodes in a radio base station that transceives information over radio interface using multiple antenna carriers. The REC node is separate from and coupled to the first RE node by a first transmission link, and the second RE node coupled to the first RE by a second transmission link. Both control information and user information intended for communication between the REC node and the first RE node and the REC and the second RE node are conveyed over the first transmission link. The first RE node also conveys information between the REC and second RE node. Many advantageous features are described.

Abstract: In sending a transmission signal, in particular a mobile radio signal, to a receiver, the transmission signal is processed according to a modulation coding scheme MCS and subjected to amplitude limited to obtain a specified ratio of maximum to average transmission power PAR. A limit value EVM for an error in the transmission signal is matched to transmission conditions for the transmission signal, according to demand, in such a way that a maximum signal to interface ration is achieved at a receiver.

Abstract: A method synchronizes assemblies in a base station to a reference clock signal. A local clock signal and a frame are formed in a first assembly. The clock signal and the frame are transmitted, using a synchronous transmission with a predictable propagation time, to a second assembly. A reference clock signal is received in the second assembly, and a phase difference and a time difference between the transmitted clock signal on the one hand and the reference clock signal on the other hand are determined. The phase difference and the time difference are transmitted from the second assembly to the first assembly via a link without a predictable propagation time. The phase difference and the time difference are used in the first assembly to determine a manipulated variable which controls the formation of the local clock signal, such that the first and the second assemblies are synchronized in time.

Abstract: For transmitter-side processing of information it is decided in which direction of transmission signals for a receiver are to be transmitted, the direction of transmission being a linear combination of one of a number of antenna directional diagrams corresponding to a first plurality. In a baseband processing section (REC), a number of antenna directional diagram signal sequences (X(1),X(2)), corresponding to the first plurality is determined from a signal sequence (T), determined for the receiver by weighting of the signal sequence (T) for each of the antenna directional diagrams with a coefficient (a(1), a(2)) corresponding to each of the linear combinations. Each antenna directional diagram signal sequence (X(1),X(2)) is transmitted by a dedicated logical connection from the baseband processing section (REC) to a high frequency processing section (RE).

Abstract: A system reduces non-linear distortions in an output signal of an amplifier stage that is configured according to the feed forward principle. An amplifier stage input signal arrives at a main branch of an amplifier. The output signal of the amplifier, which is distorted in a non-linear manner, arrives at an adder. An output of the adder forms the amplifier stage output signal. The output signal which is distorted in a non-linear manner and the amplifier stage input signal are fed to a secondary branch that comprises an error signal device. The error signal device generates an error signal from the delayed amplifier stage input signal and the output signal of the amplifier, which is distorted in a non-linear manner. The error signal is fed to the adder in order to reduce distortions in the amplifier stage output signal. The error signal device comprises at least one transmission device that is provided with a negative group delay time.

Abstract: A method for finding the position of a subscriber in a radio communications system combines transmission signals from subscribers to form a transmission sum signal, which is passed by cables from a base station to at least two antenna devices for transmission. Received signals from subscribers are received via the antenna devices and are combined to form a received sum signal, which is passed by cables to the base station. Each individual antenna device is associated with an individual area for the radio supply for the subscribers there. Cables lengths, which are used for signal transmission, for each antenna device are chosen individually such that a round trip delay time measurement which is based on the transmission signal and received signal of a sought subscriber is used to determine an antenna device via which the received signal sought subscriber is received. The position of the sought subscriber is determined via the area which is supplied by radio and is associated with the determined antenna device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for synchronization of clock sources in a communications system, in particular a radio communications system, having a large number of devices (PSTN, MSC, RNM, BSi, MSi, OMC) which communicate directly or indirectly with one another and have reference clock sources (Cs) for their operation. In order to overcome aging effects or timing errors in the clock sources (C), the invention proposes the clock sources (C) of one or more communicating devices (MS, BS, RNM) be synchronized by means of asynchronous signaling from at least one reference clock source (Cs). This even allows devices with clock sources that are becoming old to be operated reliably. Furthermore, in particular, there is no need for every device to have its own high-precision clock source (CS). Use is particularly advantageous in communications systems in which no reference clock is transmitted via a landline network.
