Patents by Inventor Markus Nasshan

Markus Nasshan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8619667
    Abstract: The present invention aims at providing flexible and optimal configuration of an air interface of a transmitter in a radio system, more particularly a mobile radiotelephone system. According to the present invention, the data of a subscriber-specific control channel transmitted by the transmitter is transmitted with an adaptively modifiable frequency position or band width. The subscriber-specific control channel may include pilot symbols for channel evaluation, TCP symbols for power regulation, TFI symbols for transmitting transmission format information and other symbols, wherein the desired frequency position or band width can be individually adjusted for the individual symbol groups.

  • Patent number: 7039414
    Abstract: An apparatus and associated method are provided, wherein, using an external-signal detection apparatus for detecting external signals of the available channels of a jointly used transmission-medium and a priority-apparatus for detecting at least one separate transmission-medium use priority, and with a data communication interface controlling data transmission on the basis of the detected external signals in the at least one detected transmission-medium use priority, both identical and different independent communication systems are allowed to coexist in a simple and inexpensive manner.

  • Patent number: 6816507
    Abstract: In order to improve the performance of physical channels in telecommunications systems using wire-free telecommunication between mobile and/or stationary transmitting/receiving appliances as a function of; the channel data transmission rate, the system environment, the system utilization and the distance between the transmitting/receiving appliances, such that no circuitry changes are required to the transmitters and/or receivers in the transmitting/receiving appliances, an air interface is proposed, in which the number of NPILOT bits, NTPC bits and NTFCI bits are each variable, and in which, in particular during an active or passive telecommunications link between the mobile and/or stationary transmitting/receiving appliances in the telecommunications system, the number of NPILOT bits, NTPC bits and NTFCI bits can each be varied and/or optimized adaptively by control means, such as by suitable “layer 2” or “layer 3” signaling (“layer 2/3” signaling) which takes place, for

  • Patent number: 6795427
    Abstract: The correlations of different channel impulse responses are used to improve, simplify and optimize the assessment of wire-free transmission channels in telecommunications systems. In particular, the different channel and pulse responses are correlated by identifying a similarity between the different responses and driving a mean channel impulse response from the different channel impulse responses when they are identified as similar.

  • Patent number: 6594487
    Abstract: A reception device is disclosed for a radio communication system for the reception of subscriber signals via a radio interface. The reception device contains a means for determining number of active subscribers from the a total number of subscribers that are assigned to the radio interface, and contains a further detection device for detecting at least one subscriber signal. As a result of the determination of the subscribers actually active from the subscriber signals, a detection is simplified particularly when the subscriber signals are separated by a fine structure.

  • Patent number: 6212243
    Abstract: A process for receiving data in which the channel pulse responses are estimated, whereby a time interval between adjustments of a receiver to current channel pulse responses is varied and is adjusted to a change in transmission properties of transmission channels.

  • Patent number: 5970060
    Abstract: In a radio system which operates using code division multiplex (CDMA) the interference in the training sequences, for example interblock sequences, of all the K subscribers in the received signal is overcome before data detection at the receiving end. The interference in the training sequences of all K subscribers is modeled using the estimated channel pulse responses and, finally, is subtracted from the received signal. The method and apparatus can be used in CDMA mobile radio systems, in particular with joint detection.
