Patent number: 9001803Abstract: A system for processing an RF signal received via a plurality of antenna elements includes a connection arrangement for selecting a sub-set of a given number of RF signals received from the antenna elements as well as a processing arrangement for combining the received RF signals of the selected sub-set into a single RF signal for demodulation. The system includes an RF phasing circuit for producing selective combinations of the received RF signals by applying relative RF phase shift weights to the RF signals that are combined; each combination includes RF signals received from a number of adjacent antenna elements equal to the number of the RF signals in the sub-set to be selected. A radio performance estimator generates for each selective combination of RF signals at least one non-RF radio performance indicator representative of the quality of the RF signals in the combination.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2007Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignees: Telecom Italia S.p.A., Advanced Digital Broadcast S.A.Inventors: Loris Bollea, Valeria D'Amico, Maurizio Fodrini, Paolo Gallo, Bruno Melis, Alfredo Ruscitto

Patent number: 8913590Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of managing a hybrid network including a cellular network and a local network wherein a number of dual mode mobile terminals are connectable to a base station of the cellular network through a direct cellular link and are also connectable, one with respect to the other, through the local network by a radio access technique. The method includes the steps of computing a cost associated with a direct connection established along a path (A) extending from a selected mobile terminal to the base station through the cellular link only, computing a cost (Ccg) associated with at least one indirect connection established along a path (B) extending from the selected mobile terminal to the base station through the local network and the cellular network, and selecting for data transmission the path that minimizes the cost.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2007Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Telecom Italia S.p.A.Inventors: Roberto Fantini, Paolo Gallo, Alfredo Ruscitto
