  • Patent number: 8831527
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring the antenna diversity gain in digital radio transmission systems, wherein the sensitivity of a receiver system is designed by using a plurality of antennas, wherein the signals thereof determine a diversity gain (DG) by means of the bit error rate (BER)-increase of the signals. The invention is characterized in that the method and the device for measuring the diversity-gain (DG) in digital radio transmission systems form an optimization of radio net planning by means of targeted use of diversity, wherein a decrease of the number of used base stations and an increase of the transmission- and receiving quality is achieved.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 19, 2008
    Date of Patent: September 9, 2014
    Assignee: Deutsche Telekom AG
    Inventors: Gerhard Kruse, Christine Crisan
  • Patent number: 8059742
    Abstract: A method and device for operating MIMO air interfaces in mobile communications systems, according to which a radio signal is transmitted by a transmitting device via a MIMO channel comprising a number of m subchannels and is received by a receiving device having n antennas. Different polarizations are assigned to the signals to be transmitted on the subchannels, and the signals are supplied to a common antenna.

  • Patent number: 7450693
    Abstract: A method and a device for improving voice quality on transparent telecommunications-transmission paths. The audio-transmission channel is adapted to the respective audio-spectrum of the speaker at predetermined intervals. As a result, means for analyzing the voice signals in relation to the useful band width and amplitude thereof are provided in addition to means for influencing the band width and amplitude of the audio-transmission channel according to the determined useful band and amplitude. Such means can be installed in the communication terminal as well as in the communication network.
