摘要： Radio communication resources are allocated in a cellular radio communication system having a plurality of user stations and network units by subdividing a frequency band that is sub-divided into a plurality of sub-carriers used for communication purposes. In several radio cells, one or more network units sub-divides(s) the frequency band into a number of sub-bands having one or more respective sub-carriers, sub-divide(s) the user stations into a number of groups and allocate(s) a sub-band for communication purposes to each group. The number of sub-bands differs for at least two radio cells.

摘要： The application relates to a method for operation of an active antenna array and to an active antenna system. The active antenna system has a signal processing unit and an active antenna array adapted to be operated with a main antenna pattern correlated to a main receive beam and with at least one test antenna pattern correlated to a test receive beam having an orientation different from the main receive beam. A main radio frequency signal is received based on the main antenna pattern and a test radio frequency signal is received based on the test antenna pattern. The main radio frequency signal comprises communications traffic. Performance of the main receive beam is assessed based on the main radio frequency signal and performance of the test receive beam is assessed based on the test radio frequency signal. The main antenna pattern is adjusted based on a comparison of the performance of the main receive beam and test receive beam.

摘要： In an OFDM multi carrier modulation method, M sub-carriers are used in a frequency band of a broadband mobile radio channel and several symbols are used in a time band. With application of a MIMO multi-antenna method with T transmitting antennae and R receiving antennae, for all sub-carriers and all symbols, a single, pre-determined, channel-matched transmission strategy is used, which is described by a maximum of T*R complex values on the signal side, independent of the species of the MIMO multi-antenna method and independent of the size of the frequency/time bands.
