Patent number: 9794798Abstract: A leaky repeater access node (LRAN) includes a first directional antenna and a second directional antenna to transmit and receive signals in at least one first frequency band, and a third antenna to transmit and receive signals in a second frequency band. The LRAN also includes first analog components to split a first signal received by the first directional antenna into a first portion and a second portion. The first analog components amplify the first portion and provide the amplified first portion to the second directional antenna. The first analog components also convert the second portion to the second frequency band and provide the converted second portion to the third antenna.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignees: Alcatel Lucent, Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.Inventors: Michael G. Zierdt, Simone Maier, Andreas Pascht, Dmitry Chizhik

Patent number: 9768983Abstract: In a method for transmitting data through a Massive MIMO backhaul system, a central node of the MIMO backhaul system transmits, to a small cell repeater terminal on the downlink, a downlink pilot signal carrying a set of pilot sequences that are mutually orthogonal in the frequency domain. Each pilot sequence in the set of pilot sequences corresponds to an antenna of an antenna array at the central node. The central node receives an uplink pilot signal carrying the set of pilot sequences transmitted by the small cell repeater terminal on the uplink, where the received uplink pilot signal is a frequency converted retransmission of the downlink pilot signal. The central node estimates at least one of an uplink channel and a downlink channel between the central node and the small cell repeater terminal based on the set of pilot sequences and the received uplink pilot signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Thomas Marzetta, Oliver Blume, Pawel Rulikowski, Simone Maier, Andreas Pascht, Thierry Klein

Publication number: 20150334793Abstract: The invention relates to an operating unit in which dimming information can be fed to a secondary side in respect of a galvanic isolator (4), wherein the operating unit (1) is improved in terms of cost. In particular, the dimming information is fed only to a first module (2) (a master module) either from outside by means of a sensor or from a primary side via the galvanic isolator (4) by means of a wireless channel (52). The first module (2) is further designed to relay the dimming information to at least one second module (3) (at least one slave module). The relaying of the dimming information can be effected either by a local bus (6), a wireless connection (9), a supply line, or via lines on a lamp module (12).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: November 19, 2015Applicant: TRIDONIC GMBH & CO KGInventor: Simon MAIER
