Abstract

A system and method for determining a position of a first responder in a building, where the first responder is using a radio, and using a distributed antenna system. Each antenna has a level detector to detect and measure a strength of an input signal from the radio of the first responder to produce a level signal, a time tagger to tag the detected input signal with a timing signal, and a communication module to transmit the level signal and timing signal. A sensor processor connected with a signal distribution network is configured to receive the signal level and timing signal from the signal distribution network of each of the plurality of antennas, to determine the position of the radio relative to each of the plurality of antennas according to the level signal and timing signal.

Abstract

A system, method and computer program product for optimizing an antenna pattern for a booster, in which input signals from different operators are transmitted at different carrier frequencies within an operating bandwidth. An input bandwidth of a plurality of input signals are monitored at an input of the booster, the input bandwidth being within the operating bandwidth. One or more peak signal levels of the plurality of input signals within the input bandwidth are detected. Each of the detected one or more peak signal levels of the plurality of input signals at the input of the booster are then adjusted, such that a peak signal level of each of the plurality of input signals are substantially equal.

Abstract

An antenna control algorithm is disclosed. Using this algorithm, the repeater will select an optimum antenna configuration at start-up. Once the configuration is selected, the system will keep this configuration until the performance metrics for this configuration drops below a specified level. At this point, the system will scan all antenna configurations to determine a new optimum configuration. In an alternative implementation, the repeater will select an optimum antenna configuration at start-up. Once the configuration is selected, the system will keep this configuration until the performance metrics for this configuration drops below a specified level. At this point, the system will start scanning antenna configurations to find a new configuration that yields a performance better than the required minimum performance level. This configuration would typically be faster than an optimum configuration as not all possible options need to be tested.

Abstract

This document describes a system that is used to dynamically adapt the radiation pattern of the donor antenna of a mobile repeater system. In some implementations, a switched beam antenna is used, in which a location of a mobile repeater is determined relative to a base station, as well as directionality relative to the base station. A correct beam, i.e., a beam with the highest gain based on the location and directionality, is determined and switched on based on a determined gain of that beam.

A system and method for maximizing channel bandwidth while employing error control coding is presented. The method includes employing a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) code to information being transmitted on the channel, the CRC code including appending a single CRC code bit to the information, the single CRC code bit having a value of 0. The method further includes adding an error correcting code with a value of 0 to the information and to a plurality of error correcting code parity bits provided by the error correcting code. The method further includes transmitting, by the communication device, the information on the channel without the single CRC code bit, the additional information bit, and the error correcting code parity bits for being decoded and set by a receiver.

Abstract

A repeater configured to dynamically affect the gain level of the repeater in response to the input signal power level over time. The repeater system includes a gain hold processor executing a gain hold algorithm. The gain hold algorithm preempts a large up-step in signal power level to follow a large down-step in signal power level. After a large up-step in input signal is detected, the system holds the gain level in response to a drop in input signal level after the large up-step. The gain is held at the level set by the large burst of input signal power to the repeater. In response to a larger up-step in signal power level, the system will lower the gain. In response to a large down-step in signal power after the larger up-step in signal power level, the system will hold the gain level of the repeater. During a prolonged low-power level or zero power signal at the input of the repeater, the system will slowly raise the gain level of the repeater over time.
