Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining distance (R) and radial velocity (v) of an object in relation to a measurement location, in which method radar signals are emitted and after reflection on the object are received again at the measurement location, wherein the emitted radar signals are subdivided within a measuring cycle into numerous segments (10) in which the frequency of the radar signals is gradually changed from an initial value (fA, fB) to the end value and each received reflected signal is subjected across one segment (10) to a first evaluation to detect frequency peaks and additionally a subsequent second evaluation of the signals for the frequency peaks of all segments (10) of the measuring cycle is carried out to determine a Doppler frequency component as a measure of the radial velocity (v).

Abstract: OFDM symbols are generated using data from one or more users or from one or more data sources represented on a number of sub-carriers. To inhibit multiple-access interference on application of the CDMA principle, the data are transformed in a data-source specific manner and only subsequently allocated to the sub-carriers, independently of the transformation.

Abstract: A method and a corresponding transmitting device to encode data with a differential space-time block code. A code matrix is calculated recursively from a momentary data matrix with a previous code matrix as a DSTBC block with symbols that are to be transmitted, the data matrix is formed from at least two data symbols that are to be transmitted, and the amplitude is modulated. Amplitude modulation data is encoded into an amplitude difference of at least two data symbols within each individual DSTBC block.

Abstract: Data is transmitted via time division multiple access methods and every radio cell includes one base station each for the radio coverage of a plurality of mobile stations assigned to the radio cell. The base station receives, in addition to mobile station signals of its own radio cell, mobile station signals of neighboring radio cells and determines, on the basis of the mobile station signals received, a time synchronization value and/or a frequency synchronization value to which the base station synchronizes itself.

Abstract: In a method for the error-monitored transmission of data via interfaces of a multi-step communication system, the data is transmitted from a transmitter station to a data-receiving station via at least two relay stations which are connected therebetween and receive and further transmit the data parallel to each other. The data is retransmitted if the transmission has been insufficient due to a request from the receiver end and/or due to the lack of a confirmation from the receiver end. In order to increase performance while reducing power consumption of the system, the request or confirmation is generated only by the receiver station and is sent back to the transmitter station. The relay stations consequently do not generate any confirmations or requests.

Abstract: A method performs synchronization in an at least partly self-organizing radio communication system with a number of mobile stations which lie across an air interface within two-way radio range. At least some mobile stations from the number of mobile stations transmit synchronization sequences, by which a part or all the mobile stations of the number of mobile stations synchronize.

Abstract: A method and OFDM receiver are provided for reducing the influence of harmonic interference on OFDM transmission systems, wherein high interference unity is achieved by the simultaneous use of a window function and a determined item of reliability information, the window function being a Nyquist-shaped window function which generates low side lobes in the subcarrier and interference spectra while simultaneously leaving the orthogonality of the subcarriers unchanged, the determined item of reliability information being derived from a measurement when transmitting a so-called zero symbol, in order to detect the instantaneously active interference signals, with the high interference immunity being achieved when the subcarrier-specific information is taken into account in a so-called Viterbi decoder.

Abstract: A method synchronizes a radio communication system divided into radio cells. Data is transmitted in the radio communication system by a multiple access method. Each radio cell thus has a base station for the radio feed of several mobile stations, allocated to the radio cell. A synchronization of the base station is carried out using the received signals from mobile stations in the same radio cell and also in adjacent radio cells. The base station determines at least one pilot signal and signals said pilot signal to the allocated mobile stations in a downwards direction. The allocated mobile stations transmit the signaled pilot signal in an upwards direction to the base station. The base station determines a synchronization value, from the received pilot signals from the radio cell thereof and also from the adjacent radio cells, fro a time synchronization and/or for a frequency synchronization on which the bas station is synchronized.
