US Patent:

7590383, Sep 15, 2009

Filed:

Jan 11, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/033597

Inventors:

Richard Finch Dean - Lyons CO, US
Kenneth Robert Baker - Boulder CO, US

Assignee:

QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H04B 1/60
H04B 7/14
H04W 24/00
H04W 64/00

US Classification:

455 9, 455 15, 4554561, 370315

Abstract:

A method and system determines mobile station position information based upon base station identification and a repeater discriminant. A position location database includes base station identifications and repeater discriminant combinations, and unique position information associated with each combination. A repeater implements a discriminant to a transmitted signal in either the forward link, reverse link, or both. The position location database is accessed to determine mobile station position information based upon a base station identification and repeater discriminant.

Assignee:

QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H04B 1/60

US Classification:

455 10, 455 7, 455 111, 455 131, 455 132, 4555531, 4554561, 4554565, 370226, 370236, 370246, 370274, 370279, 370280, 370293, 370345, 370321, 370324, 370492, 370501, 375211

Abstract:

A repeater that facilitates communication in a wireless environment comprises a scheduling component that analyzes a schedule relating to when communications are active in the forward link direction and when communications are active in the reverse link direction, the communications are subject to time division duplexing. An amplifier that amplifies received communications as a function of the schedule. The repeater can further comprise a configuration component that configures the amplifier to amplify the received communications in one or more of a forward link direction and a reverse link direction.

Appl. No.:

11/960584

Inventors:

Richard F. Dean - Lyons CO, US
Kenneth R. Baker - Boulder CO, US

Assignee:

Qualcomm Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

4554561

Abstract:

Systems and methods disclosed herein generate pseudo pilot signals including PN phase offsets corresponding to a plurality of pseudo base stations. The pseudo base stations are (1) a plurality of non-physical base stations, and/or (2) physical base stations outside the reception range of the mobile device. The pseudo pilot signals are combined with communication signals from a physical base station to form a series of composite signals. The composite signals are transmitted for reception by a wireless mobile device and are used to determine the location of the mobile device.

Abstract:

Optical fiber-based distributed communications components and systems, and related methods to provide localization services for client devices are disclosed. The localization services allow the providing and/or determination of the location of client devices in communication with a component or components of the optical fiber-based distributed communications system. The location of client devices can be provided and/or determined based on knowledge of the location of the component or components in the optical fiber-based distributed communications system in communication with the client device. This information can be used to determine or provide a more precise area of location or area of location for client devices. The optical fiber-based distributed communications components and systems, and related methods disclosed herein may be well-suited for indoor environments where other methods of providing and/or determining location of client devices may be obstructed or not possible due to the indoor environment.
