  • Patent number: 6865175
    Abstract: A method and a configuration for transmitting data over a radio interface which is organized into timeslots with finite radio blocks in accordance with a TDMA subscriber separation method are described. In the method, radio stations transmit, within a timeslot, at least two training sequences that are known to a respectively receiving radio station and by which the latter carries out channel estimations. The training sequences are positioned here in timeslot in such a way that the maximum distance between a data symbol and a nearest training sequence is minimized.

  • Patent number: 6721292
    Abstract: A radio communications system provides frequency channels which are formed both by time slots and by broadband frequency ranges, and in which information from a plurality of connections is simultaneously transmitted between mobile stations and base stations wherein it is possible to distinguish the information from different connections in accordance with a connection-specific fine structure. Frequency channels are repeatedly provided for time synchronization of the mobile stations in the downward direction in which a signal form is transmitted in addition to information from further connections. The mobile station to be synchronized determines from received signals at least one instant of the arrival of the signal form, which is subsequently used by the mobile station for time synchronization. The system is advantageously applied, for example, in TDD mode for the third mobile communications generation which combines a TDMA and CDMA subscriber separation method.

  • Patent number: 6577615
    Abstract: A TDMA/CDMA radio communications system provides frequency channels which are formed both by time slots and by broadband frequency ranges, and in which information from a plurality of connections can be simultaneously transmitted between mobile stations and a base station wherein it is possible to distinguish the information from different connections in accordance with a connection-specific fine structure. Frequency channels are repeatedly provided for frequency synchronization of the mobile stations in the downward direction in which a symbol sequence is transmitted. From received signals, the mobile station to be synchronized determines estimated values for the symbol sequence and compares these estimated values with a reference sequence. It is thereby possible to calculate a phase drift in the estimated values with reference to the reference sequence wherein a frequency offset, which is used for frequency synchronization, is determined from the phase drift.

  • Patent number: 6366569
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a base station for transmitting data in a downlink direction over a radio interface in a mobile radio communications system. The base station transmits the data in the downlink direction to a radio station in radio blocks that are organized in a time division multiplex method. Recurring training sequences are inserted between the radio blocks without decreasing the transmission power used for transmitting the data. The radio station carries out a channel estimation by means of the training sequences.

  • Patent number: 6069920
    Abstract: For transmitting voice between subscriber stations of a radio system, particularly a mobile radio telephone system, whereby an analog voice signal is digitally coded by voice frames (S), the voice frames (S) are first converted into voice-coded voice frames (S1). Subsequently, a plurality of these voice frames (S1) is combined to form a multi-voice frame (MSF1). These multi-voice frames (MSF1) are transmitted with error-protection. At the reception side, the multi-voice frames (MSF4) are in turn divided into voice-coded voice frames (S4) and, subsequently, the digital voice information contained in the transmitted voice frames is in turn converted into an analog voice signal.

  • Patent number: 5708973
    Abstract: A radio system having frequency optimization, particularly a mobile radio telephone system having base stations and subscribers (low speed mobile stations or stationary stations) is provided. In order to avoid fluctuations and interruptions of the reception level, the invention provides that the reception level and/or transmission quality of all frequencies or channels or of a part of the frequencies or channels of the channels available in a base station are constantly measured in every subscriber station (mobile station or stationary station). The measured values are communicated to the base stations wherein the frequencies or channels are allocated to the subscribers based on the overall information so that an optimally optimum frequency or transmission quality is allocated to each connection.
