Definitions

  • the present application relates to wireless access networks and, in particular, to distributed adaptive repeater system.
  • On-frequency repeaters are known in the art for improving wireless services within defined regions of a wireless network, where signal levels would otherwise be too low for satisfactory quality of service. For example, within a building, or a built-up urban area, signal attenuation, shadowing by buildings and/or hills; noise generated by various radio frequency sources, and multi-path effects can seriously degrade the quality of desired RF signals, hi some cases, a wireless network provider may install a repeater in order to improve service in a region lying at an edge of the coverage area serviced by a base station, thereby effectively extending the reach of the base-station.
  • an On-frequency repeater comprises a donor antenna which
  • WCD such as a cellular handset
  • WCD such as a cellular handset
  • amplifier connected between the donor and coverage antennas.
  • On-frequency repeaters are characterized by the fact that the input and output signals (in either the uplink or downlink path directions) have the same frequency.
  • the output signal (So) radiated by the repeater will normally be a replica of the input signal (Se) received by the repeater, that has been amplified and subject to a phase-shift ⁇ due to processing delays imposed by the repeater electronics.
  • the repeater gain (G) provides the increase in signal level that makes the repeater useful
  • the phase shift ( ⁇ ) is due to electrical delays within the repeater. This delay is inherent to the amplification process, but is caused primarily by band-pass filters used in the repeater to prevent the unwanted amplification of signals outside the frequency band of interest. Generally this delay will be small with respect to the bandwidth of any given signal.
  • the output signal (So) can feed back to the input antenna via a so-called "leakage path".
  • amplified downlink RF signals transmitted through the coverage antenna can feed back to the donor antenna and so appear at the input of the repeater's downlink path amplifier.
  • the feedback signal (Sf) arriving at the input antenna appears as a phase-shifted version of the external input signal (Se). Consequently, the resulting input signal (Si) received by the repeater will be the vector sum of the external input signal Se and the feedback signal Sf.
  • the magnitude of the input signal Si is a function of both the amplitude of the external input signal Se and the feedback signal Sf, and their relative phases. For a repeater system that employs automatic gain control, the magnitude of the output signal So, and thus the feedback signal Sf, will be held approximately constant over a wide range of input power.
  • system stability can be obtained by ensuring that the antenna isolation (L) is equal to or greater than the system gain (G).
  • the antenna isolation is difficult to predict, and will frequently change over time.
  • conventional on-frequency repeaters are normally adjusted to provide a total system gain of about 10- 15db less than the antenna isolation, in order to provide an unconditionally stable system that precludes oscillation (even in a changing RF environment). This high (10- 15db) margin between antenna isolation and system gain is commonly achieved by limiting and sacrificing system gain, which significantly decreases the sensitivity (and thus efficiency) of the repeater.
  • Leaky Cable systems utilize a network of co-axial cables for distributing RF signals throughout a predefined area. Within predefined portions of the coaxial cable, - the shielding jacket is perforated, so that some of the RF energy within the cable "leaks" out, and is radiated into the region surrounding the cable. These systems tend to be expensive, and suffer high losses.
  • the use of multiple coverage antennas has also been proposed as an alternative to leaky cable.
  • These systems typically utilize a single donor antenna coupled to a distribution hub, which operates to supply RF power to each of the coverage antennas.
  • the hub also provides the system gain, and may include system monitoring and management functions.
  • the coverage antennas are substantially passive devices.
  • signal traffic between the hub and the coverage antennas may be at RF, or at some predetermined IF, as desired.
  • the coverage antennas are not strictly passive, because they will also contain a local oscillator to facilitate signal conversion between RF and IF.
  • These repeaters typically utilize a single Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for the uplink path to reduce uplink gain and uplink transmit power when mobile wireless communications devices (WCDs) are in close proximity to a coverage antenna/leaky cable.
  • AGC Automatic Gain Control
  • WCDs mobile wireless communications devices
  • WCDs mobile wireless communications devices
  • the various coverage antennas will normally be arranged with overlapping coverage areas.
  • each coverage antenna necessarily radiates the same RF signal
  • spatial nulls are created at locations where RF signals radiated from different coverage antennas have equal amplitude and a phase difference of 180°. These spatial nulls are substantially stationary, and can severely disrupt wireless communications.
  • An additional problem encountered with multiple coverage antennas is that some of the energy radiated by each coverage antenna (i) will appear at the donor antenna as a feedback signal S£.
  • this situation is equivalent to operation of a simple repeater (that is, a repeater having a single donor antenna and a single coverage antenna) operating in a severe multipath environment.
  • a simple repeater that is, a repeater having a single donor antenna and a single coverage antenna
  • the isolation monitoring system will be captured by the strongest feedback signal Sf MA -
  • the repeater gain G is controlled based on the "worst case" feedback path, with the result that the signal level and coverage area of all of the other coverage antennas may be reduced below desirable levels.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an method and system for providing reliable wireless service within severe RF environments.
