This invention addresses the need for new more efficient embodiments and implementation architectures of reconfigurable, adaptable, interoperable multimode ultra wideband -ultra narrowband(UWN) systems as well as a class of broadband wireless, broadband wireless access (BWA) and other spectral and power efficient communication systems. The BWA systems, disclosed herein include new implementation architectures and new “hybrid” embodiments for WCDMA, WiMAX, Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11 and other IEEE specified systems. Local Multipoint Distribution Systems, other point to point systems and Multipoint Distribution Services (MDS) will need more efficient, reduced size interoperable Multimode Multiple Input Multiple Output (MMIMO) hybrid operation, disclosed herein.
A network which incorporates UWB and UNB or other combinations of communications and or broadcast systems, is designated here as a “hybrid” system or “hybrid” network. While prior art UWB systems, broadband systems, systems known as IEEE 802 standardized systems, WI-FI and/or Bluetooth provide communications for short distances some of these systems are not efficient for longer range/longer distance applications.
While spectrally efficient, narrowband and Ultra Narrow Band (UNB) systems are suitable for short as well as longer distances there are no disclosed embodiments for cost efficient -simple reconfigurable, interoperable communication and broadcasting system architectures, baseband, intermediate frequency (IF) and radio frequency (RF) implementations for Bit Rate Agile (BRA) systems, Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) in case of UWB and UNB systems and the connection of these systems into an operating network. Processing the data signals, clock signals, and/or carrier waveforms of UWB, of UNB and of a class of other systems leads to shaped radio-frequency (RF) waveforms and wavelets. With Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) diversity and protection system configuration the performance and capacity of these “hybrid” UWB and UNB systems may be further enhanced. For such systems more efficient and simpler architectures and implementations are disclosed.
In prior art patents and in other published documents and articles the aforementioned sets of systems were invented, studied and investigated separately from each other and joint-hybrid efficient and seamless, adaptive Modulation Format Selectable (MFS) and Bit Rate Agile(BRA) operation and joint embodiments of systems which operate as Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) in flexible agile UWB and UNB systems in conjunction with other wireless and wired (cable, telephone, fiber optics) systems such as 2nd generation wireless systems, such as GSM systems, CDMA systems, 3rd generation cellular systems and 4th generation wireless and cellular systems, including broadband systems were not disclosed.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONOne set of communications systems contains highly spectral efficient, narrowband, very narrowband and ultra narrowband (UNB) systems; an other set contains broadband, wideband and ultra wideband (UWB) systems. Combinations and variations of these two sets of systems are designated herein with the generic term/acronym: Ultra wideband-ultra narrowband(UWN) systems.
The most important objectives of wireless communications, broadcasting, telemetry, location based systems GPS (Global Positioning System), Radio Frequency Identification systems (RFID), internet browsing infrared and in general “radio” systems as well as “wired” systems include: power and bandwidth or spectrum efficiency combined with robust Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in a noisy and/or strong interference environment. These Radio Frequency (RF) system objectives are specified in numerous systems including wireless communications and cellular systems, satellite systems, mobile and telemetry systems, broadcasting systems, cable, fiber optics and practically all communication transmission systems. Here we are using the term “Radio Frequency” (RF) in its broadest sense, implying that we are dealing with a modulated signal. The RF could be, for example, as high as the frequency of infrared or fiber optic transmitters; it could be in the GHz range, e.g., between 1 GHz and 300 GHz, or it could be in the MHz range, e.g. between about 1 MHz and 999 MHz or just in the kHz range, such as used in telephony modems. The term RF could apply to Base-Band (BB) signals, to Pulse Position Modulated(PPM) signals, to Quadrature Modulated (for short “QM” or “QMOD”) and to FM or AM or hybrid modulated signals, to non-quadrature modulated signals, or to un-modulated Carrier Wave (CW) signals or waveforms.
The cited publications, patents, pending patents and other published documents, reference numbers [1-31 ], and the references within the aforementioned publications contain definitions and descriptions of many terms used in this new patent disclosure and for this reason these “prior art” terms and definitions will be only briefly, on a case by case basis highlighted.
While the majority of prior patents and publications disclose systems which have a spectral efficiency of less than about 10 b/s/Hz [such systems include GMSK, BPSK, QPSK, QAM (e.g. 16-QAM; 64 QAM), Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) and Pulse Duration Modulation methods] there is prior art which discloses implementations which could attain considerably higher spectral efficiencies, i.e. more than 10 b/s/Hz.
H. R. Walker's patents, references [1-5] and Feher's patent Ref. [16] describe information signal transmission methods which could attain ultra high spectral efficiencies of more than 10 b/s/Hz, designated herein as ultra narrowband(UNB) or ultra spectral efficient systems.
While the aforementioned issued patents and publications describe material of a background nature, they do not describe or suggest the subject matter of the present patent.
Prior to the description of the current invention, a brief review and highlights of prior art, contained in the description of
This invention discloses new, efficient embodiments and implementation architectures of reconfigurable, adaptable, interoperable broadband wireless, multimode ultra wideband -ultra narrowband(UWN) systems as well as a class of broadband and other spectral and power efficient communication systems.
A network which incorporates UWB and UNB or other combinations of communications systems is designated here as a “hybrid” system or “hybrid” network.
Processing the data signals, of clock signals, and/or carrier waveforms of UWB, of UNB and of a class of other systems leads to shaped radio-frequency (RF) waveforms and wavelets. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) diversity and protection system configuration the performance and capacity of these “hybrid” UWB and UNB systems may be further enhanced. For such systems more efficient and simpler architectures and implementations are disclosed.
Specific Objectives of this invention include:
A 1st objective of this invention is to disclose implementations and embodiments which shape waveforms, wavelets, symbols, Radio Frequency(RF) cycles of previously disclosed non-shaped signals by means of optional TCS and/or LR processors and filters. Such shaping improves the spectral characteristics and or other performance parameters the system and leads to, in several cases simpler implementation architectures.
A 2nd objective is to process and generate UNB and UWB signals which have Modulation Format Selectable (MFS) waveforms or wavelets and are suitable for hybrid operation, diversity and protection systems including a new generation of Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC ), Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems which are interoperable with existing wireless systems, such as cellular GSM, GPRS, EDGE and CDMA and W-CDMA systems as well as with other conventional and broadband wireless and telephony systems.
