Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for dynamically sizing sectors of a multisectored radiation pattern. The disclosed invention teaches the use of multiple narrow beams composited to form a radiation pattern. Signals associated with each such narrow beam may be provided to inputs of a scan receiver or signaling radio which inputs are associated with a particular sector of the radiation pattern. The number of narrow beam signals provided inputs associates with a particular sector defines the azimuthal width of that sector. By altering the number of narrow beam signals provided each such input, the azimuthal width of the sectors may be adjusted. The disclosed invention also teaches the use of attenuators in the signal path between the narrow beams and the scan receiver or signaling radio. By adjusting these attenuators, the effective length of the sectors may be adjusted. Alternatively, adaptive arrays may be utilized to form radiation patterns, for which the azimutal width and length of a sector may be adjusted by way of adjustments of the relative amplitude and phase of signals at antennas of a phased array adaptively controlled according to communication parameters such as information indicating the quality of the communication channel on that sector or the number of calls serviced in particular sectors.

Some of these cells may be the cell with which the mobile station wants to perform handover, while others may be the cell with which it does not want to perform handoff, but A cell where the signal being received by the mobile station is causing interference.

Description of the invention (6) Area forming technology Service provided by the mesh. In spite of the root bundle, in order to use the 12 area's each wave, the beam has the following method: 'will be the same as above with 60 ° ground', as above, to provide a means to pass some specific sectors. Due to the cell-related interference mobile power levels in the sector, the energy can be a technologically superior capability. In the present invention, the present invention provides a technique for simultaneously increasing the number of users in a specific area and reducing interference to other cells. According to the principle of the present invention, it can use an arbitrary number of preferred implementations of the Bomin. In this example, 12 such beams are used. The beam provides 3 6 0 radially around the antenna system. The coverage beam will be used to provide approximately 30. Azimuth coverage. Dynamically assigned to a specific sector in the cell can use the bit angle direction as a reference and the ability to adjust the sector width. The two beams described in the example are assigned to a certain sector and can provide a sector of a radiation pattern. Similarly, when the six 30 ° beams are assigned to a certain sector, there can be 180 sectors of the radiation pattern. # Sadly shape each sector. The present invention can expand and / or shrink with the change of application requirements in one day's period. In this case, in a code division multiple access system, Specific cellular communication capabilities can be substantially isolated from a particular sector in which it is operating. Therefore, before it is sufficient to reach the capacity limit, other energies may be reduced before allowing the use of those outer CDMA code channels. Therefore, it should be understood that the point of the present invention is to have a higher relay efficiency and serve more users. In an alternative embodiment, it uses a switch matrix, or other

Since each antenna is not restricted by the communication communication setting of the communication to another angle, if a certain device is diagonally opposite, any one of the beams can move the array and the phase length required by the antenna 7G. The fan of the element reaches its full adjustment fan device 'equipment (1 imi communication set it to perform the installation of the signal path associated with each beam f, to achieve the dynamic assignment of the beam to the mesh sector Operation. Each of these devices is adjusted to receive the demodulated receiver from the base transceiver (BTS) transceiver (the solution needs to be input. The alternative embodiment uses a combination of adaptive array circuits and wires Circuit, or use adaptive array circuit instead of changing the size of each sector in the multi-sector mesh. The above is used to dynamically form the signal that can be radiated through the pin in each of the antenna array. Antenna elements, bit and / or amplitude differences, to adjust the azimuth of a sector to provide the required coverage and signal quality radiation, for example, by adjusting the antenna array provided to the cell site The relative amplitude and / or phase of the area number can increase the azimuth of the sector where the maximum capacity is the application capacity. Therefore, a, which can provide the capacity from the above-mentioned areas. Similarly, by reducing the radiation pattern of the currently serving sector, and forcing a handover from another otherwise full-capacity sector to another sector to thereby place it outside the regulated sector, Can improve the signal quality in CDMA systems such as interference ted.

Description of the invention (9) The mesh system can improve the information under certain conditions. Alternatively, its form can be adjusted by using the adaptive amplitude and can be implemented by another communication device. Among them, the radiation pattern provides a side lobe attenuator to improve the performance of the mobile receiver at a given signal. Outside of a given mobile mobile station of each invention where a receiver of the mobile station mobile station will exist, its communication network will now be able to form a mobile station with a letter network hole which provides a strong sector of the module appearing there. The demodulation connection is also used in the CDMA landline. It is used to increase the quality and communication capacity of the available bottle numbers in each cell. The number of frequencies k can also be adjusted by adding or replacing the antenna array to the initial stickiness of the mobile subtractor. This is otherwise to provide additional capacity in the full capacity sector. The above operations can be switched over to adjacent sectors or cells through forced communication devices. In addition to the control formed by using the adaptive antenna and line array, the above-mentioned adaptive array can also be used for Attenuation function of longitudinal reach. The unit / has a fixed number of demodulator, so that it can only communicate with a limited number of cells. A technically-deployed CDMA network with the method described above specifically for CDMA, usually Multiple cells or sectors on each forward link can be signal locations. In a case similar to this, if the number of signals exceeds the number set in the mobile station ', then those from which demodulation reception numbers cannot be assigned' become interference to the mobile station. According to this mechanism, the system operator will be able to reduce the number of servers that match, or are close to match, and the number of receivers, thereby reducing the total interference. In addition, how the system originates from the mobile station to the side and the reverse call aspect to achieve the invention

Of course, as disclosed above, a single splitter can be used to switch a matrix with a suitable number of inputs and signals to any combination. In addition to the splitter circuit of this embodiment, the "amplifier circuit" is used to provide the purpose. If it needs to give the original signal with the same amplitude as before it was separated (the amplitude is unchanged), then this signal amplification circuit can be provided to give the separated signal to obtain an acceptable separation and get Many separate signal inputs provide large processing with acceptable signal to noise. The function of the splitter / switch matrix is also implemented as a switch matrix, and the switch output provides the function on the combiner that will be related to a certain beam. In addition, it may further include or add a separate signal of acceptable amplitude. If the signal has the same power level or amplitude, the component (that is, the power level before and after separation or a kind of signal amplification circuit.

However, it should be understood that it is possible to adjust the separator / switch matrix as shown in the figure, to provide a sector whose size is similar to that described above. Of course, in the present invention, the selection of various sector sizes, s, s, 1 and 4 is performed by manually adjusting the splitter / switch matrix.

What is more than two waves provides the same delay device. However, when the degree of diversity is sufficiently sharp, it should not respond to the required diversity. It can also be implemented in the transmission signal path. The sector that it returns must be due to two. In a retarder. When there is a diversity of beams due to sex, when this, in order to raise the negative path, 'except that it will be related to the transmission bar in a signal or more to increase the path' and a special continuous piece, and therefore, in addition to ' . Of course, it will provide sufficient influence to these beams. Each sector can transmit signals related to a specific sector according to the present invention, and provide a plurality of separated sectors within the antenna beam. The site was chosen by the letter as its radiation, when its alternating waves of alternating large letters. Of course wave or related days. Therefore, the signal angles of the beams placed in the beams defined by adjacent waves with different fields of view are diversified, and if a subset thereof is required to provide different delay devices. An alternative embodiment that introduces multiple different delays in the transmit signal path is illustrated in Figure 4C.

In order to selectively switch some delay devices into various transmission signal paths, so that mobile stations working in the cell receive substantially unrelated signals, switches 485-1 to 485-1 2 and 485-1 Up to 486.2, it can work under the control of sector controller 460 or other control systems. It should be understood that the alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 4C may include an optional delay device in addition to the individual delay devices for each signal path shown. Therefore, for beams assigned to a particular sector, a number of different delays can be chosen. In addition, if necessary, Gan can also use delay devices 483-1 to 483-1 2 to introduce different amounts of delay. Referring to Fig. 6 ', there is shown an alternative embodiment of the present invention, which is suitable for providing a signal of two beams to the demodulated Rx4QQ. It should be understood that this embodiment does not use the combiner 450 ai to 450 m2. Because only the beam with the strongest received signal of interest is switched to the input of the demodulation Rx400, the number of switch matrices used in this embodiment is related to the number of sector inputs of the demodulation Rx400, not like the above embodiment That is related to the number of beams. Therefore, in order to provide a signal from any beam to a selected sector input of the demodulated Rx400, a signal from each of the N beams will be provided to the switch matrix associated with each fan input; as shown in the figure Shown are the switch matrices 6 1 0 & It should be understood that the use of such a switch matrix makes it possible to simultaneously provide signals from any beam to multiple sector inputs, and as a result, produce overlapping coverage areas formed by multiple sectors as described below.

Description of the invention (27) A switch matrix of this configuration can also be used in a radio signal path (not shown). Thus, by switching the switch matrix to each output of the mesh station τ X and multiple antenna beams, To provide sector-to-beam mapping in accordance with the present invention. Of course, to provide the required diversity of the transmitted signal, multiple delay devices can also be placed in the signal path. Preferably, such a delay device is provided in an alternate path of the signal path between the switch matrix and the antenna associated with each beam, that is, between the switch 610ai and the beam 2, 4, ··· N. As described in the above embodiment, the switch matrix of this embodiment is controlled by a control signal provided to each switch matrix by the sector controller 460. What it should understand is that 'Although only a single control interface is exemplified between each switch matrix in the figure, the above switch matrix is actually controlled by the controller 46 independently. Of course, the sector controller 46 does not need to be a discrete component related to the cell site, it may also be an integrated component of the existing control circuit of the cell. In addition, the sector controller 46 may also be included as part of a centralized control system that is used to control the network of adjacent cell sites, rather than being implemented in specific cell sites associated with it. As in the above embodiment, the sector controller 46 may include a cpu = 1 \ such as by using an algorithm based on past or expected usage mode = off decision, or based on the cells from this cell or adjacent cells. Moderate calculation of similar current decisions for the current usage rate, and control of taxi fans according to the present invention. The current utilization information can be provided by the controller 4 =, or also by the existing control circuit of the cell. It can also provide information about the current usage rate of a Chinese device (not shown) that is used to control multiple adjacent cells. As explained in detail above 508966 V. Description of the invention (28) ^ ------ It is clear that the current usage information may include information such as the number of users related to a specific sector or cell, and the specific sector or cell , Or the number of channels available, or the quality of the messages associated with some particular fan, mesh, or user.

Description of the invention (29) Similarly, it can also artificially control the cell site to either make sector $ switch or perform handover to another cell. The above-mentioned extra-sector shaping processing in the transmission link is preferably performed by adjusting an attenuator or a signal gain device, such as a switch matrix and a shift provided in the signal path, and the attenuators between 65 and 65. 〇11] 2, to achieve. These attenuators can be used to adjust the amount of transmitted power h before transmitting it to the mobile station. As described above for the switch matrix, each attenuator can be independently controlled by the controller 46. As a result, the mobile station Rx will receive a signal with a low intensity that would otherwise be normal. Similarly, it can also manually control the mobile station Rx to make it perform intra-sector handover or perform handover to another cell. It should be, though, that for the various embodiments described above, the outer chord shaping process is performed by using a diminished state, in the two examples shown in FIG. 6, f is a plurality of The number is equal to demodulating such a reducer with a 400 sector input number.

The latter is similarly adjusted in the cosine of each signal it should deal with, or, for example, increasing and being converted into the port of the demodulation Rx, the 60 sector and the single sector For two days, the above-mentioned pass number of the cell is used to force a certain area to switch users. The frequency reuse of the interference problem produced by the field exchange will change the signal that can be passed. For example, when using a certain channel, the subtractor, Yes, the signals received by a user on a particular beam will be classified as :: regardless of which sector input is used to input & all signals input to a certain sector, regardless of From which beam it originated. It is said that by attenuating two signals related to each beam of the present invention, the size of the sector direction containing the beam will be effectively reduced, and thus the size of the sector or cell will be reduced.

Similarly, it can be directed towards the remaining sectors. Two inputs provide the signal from each beam. Therefore, each sector can have an azimuthal coverage of 360 °, as in the back tune ConfigUration, and therefore, each Frequency-channel, no matter which sector it is related to, in the entire available class, it can also input the sectors from the same beam into two or evening sectors to essentially provide Overlapping sectors.

As a matter of course, the use of alternating adjacent beams has been described with respect to the inputs related to a particular sector of the demodulated Rx, but it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to this. According to the present invention, a signal combiner can combine signals from adjacent beams to the same input of a π sector into a pair. However, it should be understood that the present invention preferably uses the The method of inputting the beam ^ number to an " sector input pair I, alternately turns on, because this can improve the signal by increasing the signal diversity between the input signal of each sector input to this sector. Quality. By “seeing” (see) |, the diversity of angles related to the side-by-side beam sources of different wavefronts is provided to the alternate input adjacent beam signals of the sector input pair, which can provide a variety of signals The same as the adjacent beam signal provided to the "sector input pair" is not allowed. Example #, when the communication equipment is located so that: t 谠 is only in two adjacent 4 beam sectors In the position received in the beam: 'providing these two adjacent beam signals to a single sector input will generate signal diversity, and the adjacent beams are alternately input to the demodulation' sector input pair, You can produce Signal diversity. In addition, it should be understood that although the three-feather system is discussed above, the present invention is not limited to the case of three sectors. The present invention can provide a fan, ruler and inch adjustment operation for any number of sectors that can be controlled by the relevant demodulation dagger and mesh station Tx. For example, the invention may provide two sectors instead of the three sectors in question. Similarly, the present invention may also be such as more than 3 sectors represented by the M sectors of the demodulated Rx400,

Any number of beams can be used to provide the dynamically resizable sectors according to the present invention. Of course, the number of beams used is different from the above, and the width of a single beam may be larger or smaller than 30 used in the above example. Beam width. Therefore, it should be understood that using different numbers of beams will result in different minimum sector widths as a result of combining these beams. One In addition, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the use of beams of small phase. It can also utilize beams with occasional angular widths to provide dynamically resizable sectors according to the present invention. For a specific area in the cell that may be used by only a limited number of households, such as when the cell covers a mountainous area that causes signal blindness, or when the cell contains other areas that restrict user access, that is, In the ocean, the size of some beams can be adjusted to cover this area in general, and thus it is no longer necessary to provide too many beams for a unlikely user. Although the present invention has been described above with respect to beam switching for antenna expansion sector mesh formation, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to this.

Description of Invention (39) Go. The azimuth width of the sector can be adjusted by changing the relative phase of each signal component of the sector signal when it is provided to the antenna element of the mesh station. It should be understood that 'as mentioned above, the communication within a particular sector of a cell's network' is not only a function of communication within that sector or even other sectors of the cell, but also It will also be affected by communication within multiple adjacent cells. Therefore, you can use the propagation direction of the round shot as a reference to adjust the effective outer chord extension or length of the mesh. This can be achieved by changing the amplitude of the signal component of the sector signal using the amplitude adjustment circuit that may be included in the TX weighting circuit 703 when supplying it to the antenna element of the antenna array. Therefore, the parameters received by the controller 707, such as the communication quality of channels in any particular sector, can be used to calculate the required increase or decrease of the effective outer chord extension or length of any sector The amount of amplitude modulation ^. At the same time, the calculated demand values can be sent to the Tx switch circuit 702 and the Tx weighting circuit 703 by using the control signals 70.5 and 706. From this, the loosener 707 can calculate the phase required to provide the required chord extension or length: the amount of amplitude adjustment. 'In order to provide the sector shaping function in the reverse path, that is, the path in which the transmitting path uses different cellular communication cells for each sector ^ An adaptive array circuit will also be configured in the reverse signal path. According to FIG. 7B, the sector controller 7.7 is used to adapt the adaptive array mQi system. The reason is that this controller can use approximately the same communication: the control number, such as indicating the communication quality of each channel on the sector. Under the letter "Economics" to both the size of the receiving sector and the size of the transmitting sector.
