Abstract: For clipping a signal with respect to a clipping threshold (Amax), a signal portion above the clipping threshold and a peak (Pk) in the signal portion are detected, a clipping function depending on end times (ts, te) of the signal portion, the amplitude of the detected peak and the clipping threshold is derived, and the signal portion is clipped by multiplying it by the clipping function. The first portion can be enlarged up to the lowest boundary points (t1+1, t2?1) on the first ascending portion and the last descending portion of the detected peak. Spectral leakage in the sidebands out to the frequency band of the clipped signal is eliminated by a filtering device. The filtered dipped signal to the input of the amplifier has peaks as close to the saturation threshold of a power amplifier as possible.

Abstract: A mobile terminal of a digital cellular radiocommunication system that is in the receiving phase in a group call while roaming in a current cell, indicates to a fixed network element of the system, a given destination cell out of a number N of cells adjacent to the current cell. The system uses a time and/or frequency division multiple access method, and any modulation method. The mobile terminal sends an identification sequence of the destination cell in a time slot of an inbound signaling channel which is a contention channel. The identification sequence comprises a predetermined identification pattern out of a determined number P of identification patterns of different respective values, where P is an integer number such that 1<P?N. The values of the P identification patterns are such that they correspond to mutually-orthogonal modulated signals.

Abstract: A method of synchronization on the uplink channel of a Simulcast network with a plurality of fixed receivers (BS1-BS4) and a selection unit (20), comprises the following steps. All the receivers are placed in a synchronization search mode (702), in which they search for a synchronization pattern sent by the mobile terminal over the uplink channel. When a receiver detects the synchronization pattern, it produces an initial synchronization context (SC3(0)), which indicates the delay of the radio signal relative to a time reference of the network, and transmits it (705) to the selection unit. The latter broadcasts it (707) to all the receivers that use it to start processing the radio signal. Then, each receiver maintains its synchronization context and transmits it (708-712) to the selection unit on each frame. At regular intervals, the value of an updated synchronization context (SC2(i)) is broadcast (714) to the receivers.

Abstract: A transmitter produces radio signal bursts in periodic time slots allocated to a time-division multiplexed channel. The radio signal of each burst is made up of digital symbols comprising two training sequences enabling the receiver to estimate demodulation parameters and information symbols which the receiver can estimate by a demodulation applied using the estimated parameters. The two training sequences are placed at the start and the end of the burst so that the receiver uses them to demodulate the received signal in the order of the symbols and demodulate the received signal again in the reverse order of the symbols.
