Title: Physical layer transceiver architecture for a home network station connected to a telephone medium
Inventor: NAYLER COLIN
IPC: H04L1/20
Filed: 1999-05-14
Abstract: A physical layer transceiver (20) of a home network station (20a) connected to a telephone medium has an architecture enabling adaptation of detection circuitry based on received network signals to enable reliable recovery of data signals. The physical layer transceiver (20) includes an input amplifier (30) that amplifies network signals according to one of 128 gain settings set by a receiver gain control signal. A signal conditioning circuit (32) includes an envelope detector (34) configured for outputting an envelope of the amplified received signal, and an energy detector (36) configured for outputtting an energy signal of the amplified received signals. The envelope signal and the energy signal are supplied to slicer threshold circuits (38), configured for outputting noise, peak, data event and energy event signals based on noise threshold, peak threshold, data transition threshold, and energy threshold signals, respectively. A digital controller controls (41) the input amplifier gain and the threshold values, and adjusts the gain and threshold values based on the noise event signal and the peak event signal within an access ID (AID) interval. Hence, the receiver can be optimized on a per-packet basis for receiving network signals by adjusting the receiver portion during the AID preamble phase of the data packet. Gain control may also be used by the digital controller (41) on the transmitter portion (52) to selectively adjust the output gain for optimizing transmission to a destination home network station.

Title: Controlling a micro cell transmit power to maintain quality of service for nearby devices served by an overlapping macro cell
Inventor: AGHVAMI ABDOL HAMID
IPC: H04W16/32
Filed: 2002-07-15
Abstract: In a cellular communications system comprising a micro cell at least partially overlapped by a macro cell, quality of service indications e.g SINR, BER, for cellular devices served by the macro cell base station are received S1 and processed S2 to obtain a comparison with a predetermined threshold. In response to the comparison, the transmission power of the micro cell base station is controlled S7 to ensure that for any cellular device that is served by the macro cell base station and within a predetermined range of the micro cell base station, the predetermined quality of service threshold is exceeded, thus permitting same frequency band transmission/reception in the micro and macro cells. In practice, when a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for a device served by the macro cell base station is found to be below the predetermined threshold value, it is determined S3 whether or not the device is within the predetermined range of the micro cell base station, i.e. the "sensitive area" around the micro cell base station where appreciable interference from the micro cell downlink is experienced. If the device is within the range, the maximum micro cell transmit power that does not reduce the device's SINR below the threshold is calculated and stored S4. This calculation is repeated S5 for other devices within the "sensitive area" and the micro cell base station is instructed to adjust its maximum transmitting power to the lowest of the calculated powers S6-S7. The invention may additionally perform handover based on time in the range S8- S10, adjust data rates, prioritise (real time) macro cell traffic over (non-real time) micro cell traffic, buffer data and use adaptive directional antenna. Applications in hot spots, W-CDMA, 3G, UMTS.
