Title: Determining the position of a mobile station within a cellular telephone system
Inventor: GILHOUSEN KLEIN S
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 1997-06-06
Granted: 2001-08-15
Abstract: In a cellular communications system, a mobile is in communication with a first base station via a radio channel. The mobile may be located by measuring signal propagation delays between itself and the first base station, and between itself and a second and third surrounding base station. If, whilst the first base station is transmitting, the mobile is unable to perform the necessary measurements with the second and third base stations, the first base station will temporarily cease transmitting on the radio channel to enable the mobile to measure the propagation time of a signals between itself and the second and third base stations. Particularly suited to CDMA communications systems in which transmission powers are normally kept to a minimum.

Filed: 2001-12-27
Granted: 2004-07-07
Abstract: A time division duplex digital radio frame structure with time and frequency diversity and method for use thereof is presented. Each packet of data is transmitted twice in successive frequency hops, such that the redundant transmission differs in both time and frequency from the primary transmission. A communications system employing the frame structure may be configured to dynamically shift between fully diverse, asynchronous and non-diverse modes of operation.
