Patent number: 8331309Abstract: A configuration for downlink signals in a wireless communication system, methods of configuring the downlink signals, apparatus for generating the downlink signals, and apparatus for receiving and processing the downlink signals are described herein. Downlink signals in a wireless communication system are reconfigured in series of frames, with each frame carrying a preamble that provides fast cell search and system acquisition. In particular, the preamble includes a primary preamble and a secondary preamble, where the primary preamble is common to all sectors in a base station and all base stations in a system and the secondary preamble is effectively unique to each base station, and may be further distinguished based on a sector basis.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2009Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Wi-LAN, Inc.Inventors: Gene Marsh, Srikanth Gummadi, William Burchill, Michael Wengler

Publication number: 20070279237Abstract: The location of a device may be determined with respect to another device. For example, a locating device may be moved as it measures at least one distance to a target device. The locating device may then generate one or more indications relating to the measured distance or distances. The locating device also may generate one or more indications relating one or more determined directions to the target device. The target device may be moved in a predetermined manner to determine the location of the target device. Each of the devices may employ a single transceiver and a single antenna for the location determination operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2007Publication date: December 6, 2007Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: David Julian, Chong Lee, Kamran Moallemi, Manuel Jaime, Michael Wengler

Publication number: 20070195866Abstract: A method and device for combating cross-correlation false alarms by introducing code diversity in the correlation process in which the search code may be diversified by the use of code staggering and/or code scrambling. The energy levels of the signals before and after the search code have been diversified may be evaluated to detect a false alarm.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2006Publication date: August 23, 2007Inventors: Cristina Seibert, Michael Wengler, Roland Rick

Publication number: 20060256009Abstract: A method for detecting a plurality of navigation beacon signals by using either two antennas or a synthetic aperture antenna for receiving a plurality of distinct measurements, and combining the plurality of distinct measurements using a plurality of antenna weight components to form an interference cancellation beam. In one embodiment, the plurality of antenna weight components is determined by eigenvalue processing. In another embodiment, the plurality of antenna weight components is determined by simplified processing. In another aspect, a single antenna is used for receiving an originally received measurement. A copy of the originally received measurement is made and processed to achieve the proper time delay to emulate spatial diversity. The originally received measurement and the processed copy are combined to form an interference cancellation beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2005Publication date: November 16, 2006Inventors: Michael Wengler, Ahmad Jalali
