Patent number: 7724836Abstract: In order to compensate for a frequency offset or a change in the phase of the transmission channel over time during mobile radio transmission of data symbols, the data symbols are transmitted by way of carrier-frequency, modulated data bursts. Sample values of the received signal, which are known in advance and correspond to first and second symbols, are evaluated in order to estimate the frequency offset or the change in the phase of the transmission channel over time. These first and second symbols are transmitted with a defined phase angle by way of the data burst, and are arranged separated from one another in the data burst. Edge symbols in a data burst are advantageously used as first and second symbols, or as a symbol pair, for estimation.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2004Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Ralf Hartmann, Martin Krüger, Hartmut Wilhelm

Patent number: 7236466Abstract: The invention relates to a method for power reduction and to a communications system, in particular a radio communications system, which allows such a method. The method for data transmission in a radio communications system having a radio interface between at least one, and in particular a large number of, base stations and at least one, and in particular a large number of, subscriber stations, in which one base station can in each case be connected via a radio interface to a number of subscriber stations provides redundantly coded data which, for the connection with at least one first transmission power level, is transmitted such that data loss is accepted. A chosen portion of the coded data is omitted during the transmission, and the transmission power level is, in contrast, chosen to be higher than the first transmission power level, such that the bit error probability is sufficiently low to allow the data to be reconstructed at the receiving station.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2000Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Benz, Juergen Michel, Bernhard Raaf, Hartmut Wilhelm
