Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to wireless communications, and specifically to wireless communications from within a region generally closed to electromagnetic radiation.
- U. S. patent 5,404,570 to Charas et al, whose disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, describes a repeater system used between a base transceiver station (BTS), which is able to receive signals, and a closed environment such as a tunnel, which is closed off to transmissions from the BTS.
- the system down-converts a high radio-frequency (RF) signal from the BTS to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal, which is then radiated by a cable and an antenna in the closed environment to a receiver therein.
- the receiver up-converts the IF signal to the original RF signal.
- Systems described in the disclosure include a vehicle moving in a tunnel, so that passengers in the vehicle who would otherwise be cut off from the BTS are able to receive signals.
- U. S. patent 5,603,080 to Kallandar et al. whose disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, describes a plurality of repeater systems used between a plurality of BTSs and a closed environment, which is closed off to transmissions from the BTSs. Each system down-converts an RF signal from its respective BTS to an IF signal, which is then transferred by a cable in the closed environment to one or more respective receivers therein. Each receiver up-converts the IF signal to the original RF signal.
- Systems described in the disclosure include a vehicle moving between overlapping regions in a tunnel, each region covered by one of the BTSs via its repeater system. Thus, passengers in the vehicle who would otherwise be cut off from one or more of the BTSs are able to receive signals from at least one of the BTSs throughout the tunnel.
- U. S. patent 5,765,099, to Georges et al. whose disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, describes a system and method for transferring an RF signal between two or more regions using a low bandwidth medium such as twisted pair cabling.
- a low bandwidth medium such as twisted pair cabling.
- the IF signal is transferred to a second region via the low bandwidth medium, wherein the signal is up-converted to the original RF signal using a second local oscillator.
- the local oscillators are each locked by a phase locked loop (PLL) in each region to generate the same frequency, the locking being performed in each loop by comparing the local oscillator frequency with a single low frequency stable reference signal generated in one region.
- the reference signal is transferred between the regions via the low bandwidth medium.
- PLL phase locked loop
- Both antennas receive a signal from a transmitter, and the signal received by the second antenna has a time delay added to the original signal.
- the two signals are summed to form one aggregate signal, which is transmitted from a third antenna.
- a receiver of the aggregate signal is able to reconstruct the signals received by the first and second antennas.
- a group of stationary transceivers are installed within a region which is generally closed to electromagnetic radiation from outside the region, such as an interior of a building.

The spatial separation is most preferably at least enough so that a signal received by the first sub-group and a signal received' by the second sub-group, from one transmission of the at least one mobile transceivers, are distinguishable.
- the signals are typically distinguishable in terms of amplitude, or phase, or time of arrival, or a combination of these or other signal parameters.

- RF signals received by the slave units from the at least one mobile transceivers are down-converted to intermediate frequency (IF) signals, which are then transferred from the region by one or more cables.
- IF signals from each sub-group of slave units are transferred to a master unit, which up-converts the IF signals in order to recover information contained in the corresponding RF signals.
- a time delay is introduced into the IF signals, which time delay is transferred to the corresponding recovered RF signal.
- the delayed and non-delayed IF signals are combined in a splitter/combiner, and the combined IF signal, comprising main and delayed diversity signals, is up-converted to a combined RF signal.
- the combined RF signal is transmitted to a base transceiver station (BTS) which demodulates and recovers the information contained in the combined RF signal.
