Definitions
- the present invention relates to communication systems, and more particularly, to multi-channel digital transmitters, receivers and transceivers for use in communication systems.
- Transmitters and receivers for communication systems generally are designed such that they are tuned to transmit and receive one of a multiplicity of signals having widely varying bandwidths and which may fall within a particular frequency range. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that these transmitters and receivers radiate or intercept, respectively, electromagnetic radiation within a desired frequency band.
- the electromagnetic radiation can be output from or input to the transmitter or receiver, respectively, by several types of devices including an antenna, a wave guide, a coaxial cable and an optical fiber.
- These communication system transmitters and receivers may be capable of transmitting and receiving a multiplicity of signals; however, such transmitters and receivers generally utilize circuitry which is duplicated for each respective signal to be transmitted or received which has a different frequency or bandwidth.
- This circuitry duplication is not an optimal multi-channel communication unit design architecture, because of the added cost and complexity associated with building complete independent transmitters and/or receivers for each communication channel.
- An alternative transmitter and receiver architecture is possible which would be capable of transmitting and receiving signals having a desired multi-channel wide bandwidth.
- This alternative transmitter and receiver may utilize a digitizer (e.g., an analog-to-digital converter) which operates at a sufficiently high sampling rate to ensure that the signal of the desired bandwidth can be digitized in accordance with the Nyquist criteria (e.g., digitizing at a sampling rate equal to at least twice the bandwidth to be digitized).
- a digitizer e.g., an analog-to-digital converter
- the Nyquist criteria e.g., digitizing at a sampling rate equal to at least twice the bandwidth to be digitized.
- the digitized signal preferably is pre- or post- processed using digital signal processing techniques to differentiate between the multiple channels within the digitized bandwidth.
- Radio frequency (RF) signals are received at antenna 102 processed through RF converter 104 and digitized by analog-to- digital converter 106.
- the digitized signals are processed through a discrete fourier transform (DFT) 108, a channel processor 110 and from the channel processors 110 to a cellular network and a public switched telephone network (PSTN).
- DFT discrete fourier transform
- PSTN public switched telephone network
- signals received from the cellular network are processed through channel processors 110, inverse discrete fourier transform (IDFT) 114 and digital-to-analog converter 116.
- IDFT inverse discrete fourier transform
- Analog signals from the digital-to- analog converter 116 are then up converted in RF up converter 118 and radiated from antenna 120.
- a disadvantage of this alternative type of communication unit is that the digital processing portion of the communication unit must have a sufficiently high sampling rate to ensure that the Nyquist criteria is met for the maximum bandwidth of the received electromagnetic radiation which is equal to the sum of the individual communication channels which form the composite received electromagnetic radiation bandwidth. If the composite bandwidth signal is sufficiently wide, the digital processing portion of the communication unit may be very costly and may consume a considerable amount of power. Additionally, the channels produced by a DFT or IDFT filtering technique must typically be adjacent to each other. A need exists for a transmitter and a receiver, like the one which is described above, which is capable of transmitting and receiving a multiplicity of signals within corresponding channels with the same transmitter or receiver circuitry.
- this transmitter and receiver circuitry preferably should reduce communication unit design constraints associated with the above transceiver architecture. If such a transmitter and receiver architecture could be developed, then it would be ideally suited for cellular radiotelephone communication systems. Cellular base stations typically need to transmit and receive multiple channels within a wide frequency bandwidth (e.g., 824 megahertz to 894 megahertz). In addition, commercial pressures on cellular infrastructure and subscriber equipment manufacturers are prompting these manufacturers to find ways to reduce the cost of communication units. Similarly, such a multi-channel transmitter and receiver architecture would be well suited for personal communication systems (PCS) which will have smaller service regions (than their counterpart cellular service regions) for each base station and as such a corresponding larger number of base stations will be required to cover a given geographic region. Operators which purchase base stations ideally would like to have a less complex and reduced cost unit to install throughout their licensed service regions.
- PCS personal communication systems
- Multi-channel communication units which share the same analog signal processing portion.
- Traditional communication units are designed to operate under a single information signal coding and channelization standard.
- these multi-channel communication units include a digital signal processing portion which may be reprogrammed, at will, through software during the manufacturing process or in the field after installation such that these multi-channel communication units may operate in accordance with any one of several information signal coding and channelization standards.

- the present invention is directed to a wideband multi-channel transmitter and receiver (transceiver) which incorporates a high degree of flexibility and redundancy and which is particularly adaptable to the cellular or PCS communication systems.
- the transceiver provides support for multiple antennas for either sectorized cellular operation, diversity reception, redundancy or as preferred, a combination of all of these features with enhanced user capacity at reduced cost.
- the transceiver of the present invention accomplishes these and many other features through a practical architecture which enhances performance through incorporation of substantial digital processing and dynamic equipment sharing (DES).
- DES digital processing and dynamic equipment sharing
- transceiver 400 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown.
- preferred embodiments of wideband multi-channel digital receiver and transmitter portions, 200 and 300, respectively, of transceiver 400 are discussed.
- a transceiver operable in the cellular radio frequency (RF) band is presented. It should be understood, however, that the present invention may be easily adapted to service any RF communication band including, for example, the PCS and the like bands.
- RF radio frequency
- the receiver 200 includes a plurality of antennas 202 (individually antennas 1,3 n- 1) which are coupled, respectively, to a plurality of radio-frequency mixers 204 for converting RF signals received at antennas 202 to intermediate frequency (LF) signals.
- the mixers 204 contain the appropriate signal processing elements at least including filters, amplifiers, and oscillators for pre- conditioning the received RF signals, isolating the particular RF band of interest and mixing the RF signals to the desired IF signals.
- the IF signals are then communicated to a plurality of analog- to-digital converters (ADCs) 210 where the entire band of interest is digitized.
- ADCs analog- to-digital converters
- One past disadvantage of prior wideband receivers was the requirement that the ADC, to completely and accurately digitize the entire band, operate at a very high sampling rate.
- the cellular A and B bands occupy 25 megahertz (MHz) of RF spectrum.
- Nyquist criteria to accurately digitize the entire cellular bands with a single ADC would require a device capable of operating at a sampling rate of more than 50 MHz (or 50 million samples per second, 50 Ms/s). Such devices are becoming more common and it is contemplated within the scope of the present invention to utilize the latest ADC technology.
- the ADCs 210 digitize the IF signals thereby producing digital signals. These digital signals are then communicated to digital down converters (DDCs) 214.
- the DDC 214 of the preferred embodiment includes a switch 1216 which allows DDC 214 to select IF signals from any one of the plurality of antennas 202. Based on the state of switch 1216, the DDC 214 accepts a high speed stream of digital words (e.g. approximately 60 MHz) from the ADC 210 associated with the selected antenna, in the preferred embodiment via a backplane interconnect 1108, FIG. 11.
- the DDC 214 is operable to select a particular frequency (in the digital domain), to provide decimation (rate reduction) and to filter the signal to a bandwidth associated with channels of the communication system.
- each DDC 214 contains a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) 1218 and a complex multiplier 1220 to perform a down conversion on the digital word stream. Note, this is a second down conversion since a first down conversion was performed on the received analog signal by mixers 204.
- the result of the down conversion and complex multiplication is a data stream in quadrature, i.e., having in-phase, I, and quadrature, Q, components, which has been spectrally translated to a center frequency of zero hertz (baseband or zero IF).
- the I,Q components of the data stream are communicated to a pair of decimation filters 1222, respectively to reduce the bandwidth and the data rate to a suitable rate for the particular communication system air interface (common air interface or CAI) being processed.
- the data rate output of the decimation filters is about 2.5 times the desired bandwidth of the CAI. It should be understood that the desired bandwidth may change the preferred decimation filters 1222 output rate.
- the decimated data stream is then low pass filtered to remove any undesirable alias components through digital filters 1224.
- Decimation filters 1222 and digital filters 1224 provide rough selectivity, final selectivity is accomplished within the channel processors 228 in a known manner. Observed in FIG.
- a plurality of DDCs 214 are provided in the preferred embodiment and each are interconnected to ADCs 210. Each of the DDCs 214 can select one of the plurality of ADCs 210/antennas 202 from which to receive a high speed digital word stream via backplane 1106.
- the outputs of the DDCs 214, a low speed data stream (e.g. approximately 10 MHz, baseband signal), are connected to a time domain multiplex (TDM) bus 226 for communication to a plurality of channel processors 228 via output formatter 1232.
- TDM time domain multiplex
- the channel processors 228 would be operable, via the control bus 224 and control bus interface 1234, to interconnect available channel processors to available DDCs with appropriate contention/arbitration processing to prevent two channel processors from attempting to access the same DDC.
- the DDCs 214 are allocated a dedicated time slot on TDM bus 226 for interconnection to a particular channel processor 228.
- the channel processors 228 are operable to send control signals via the control bus 224 to the DDCs 214 for setting digital word stream processing parameters.
- the channel processors 228 can instruct the DDCs 214 to select a down conversion frequency, a decimation rate and filter characteristics (e.g., bandwidth shape, etc.) for processing the digital data streams.
- filter characteristics e.g., bandwidth shape, etc.
- the NCO 1218, complex multiplier 1220, decimator 1222 and digital filter 1224 are responsive to numerical control to modify the signal processing parameters. This allows receiver 200 to receive communication signals conforming to a number of different air interface standards.
- the receiver of the present invention further provides a plurality of receiver banks (two shown and illustrated as 230 and 230'). Each of the receiver banks 230 and 230' include the elements described above prior to TDM bus 226 for receiving and processing a radio frequency signal.
- a pair of adjacent antennas one from antennas 202 and one from antennas 202' (individually referenced as 2,4,..., n), each associated with receiver banks 230 and 230', respectively, are designated to service a sector of the communication system.
- the signals received at each antenna 202 and 202' are processed independently through receiver banks 230 and 230', respectively.
- the outputs of the receiver banks 230 and 230' are communicated respectively on TDM buses 226 and 226', although it is understood that a single bus may be used, to the channel processors 228, wherein the diversity reception is accomplished.
- the channel processors 228 receive the baseband signals and perform the required baseband signal processing, selectivity to recover communication channels. This processing at least includes audio filtering in analog CAI communication systems, forward error correction in digital CAI communication systems, and receive signal strength indication (RSSI) in all communication systems. Each channel processor 228 recovers traffic channels independently. Furthermore, to provide diversity, each channel processor 228 is operable to listen to each of the pair of antennas assigned to a sector and to thereby receive and process two baseband signals, one per antenna.
- the channel processors 228 are further provided an interface 436, FIG. 4, to the communication network, for example in a cellular communication system to a base station controller or mobile switching center, via a suitable interconnect With reference to FIG. 17 a preferred embodiment of a channel processor 228 is shown.
- each of the channel processors is operable for both transmit and receive operations.
- each channel processor 228 is capable of servicing up to 8 communication channels of the communication system in both transmit and receive (4 channels in receive mode with diversity).
- the low speed baseband signal from TDM buses 226 or 226' are received respectively at input/output (I/O) ports 1740 and 1740' and are communicated to a pair of processors 1742 and 1742'.
- processors 1742 and 1742' Associated with each processor 1742 and 1742', are digital signal processors (DSPs) 1744 and 1744' and memory 1746 and 1746'.
- DSPs digital signal processors
- Each processor 1742 and 1742' is operable to service four (4) communication channels. As can be seen in FIG.
- the processors 1742 and 1742' are configured to listen to either one, or both as is required in the preferred diversity arrangement, of the receiver banks 230 or 230'. This structure, while also enabling diversity, provides redundancy. In the receive mode if one of the processors 1742 or 1742' fails, only diversity is lost as the other processor 1742 or 1742' is still available to process the uplink baseband signals from the other receiver bank. It should be appreciated that processors 1742 and 1742' can be implemented with appropriate diversity selection or diversity combining processing capability. Processors 1742 and 1742' are further in communication with control elements 1748 and 1748', respectively, for processing and communicating control information to the DDCs 214 via I/O ports 1740 and 1740' and the control bus 224 as described.
- the channel processors 228 receive downlink communication signals from the communication system network (via interface 436 not shown in FIG. 17) for communication over a communication channel.
- These downlink signals can be, for example, control or signaling information intended for the entire cell (e.g., a page message) or a particular sector of a cell (e.g., a handoff command) or downlink voice and/or data (e.g., a traffic channel).
- processors 1742 and 1742' independently operate on the downlink signals to generate low speed baseband signals.
- the channel processors 228 are capable of servicing eight (8) communication channels (either traffic channels, signaling channels or a combination thereof). If one of the processors 1742 or 1742' fails, the effect on the system is a loss of capacity, but not a loss of an entire sector or cell. Moreover, removing one of the plurality of channel processors 228 from the communication system results in the loss of only eight channels.
- the low speed baseband signals are communicated from the channel processors 228 via I/O ports 1740 or 1740' to TDM downlink busses 300 and 300', although a single bus may be used, and from there to a plurality of digital up converters (DUCs) 302.
- the DUCs 302 interpolate the baseband signals to a suitable data rate. The interpolation is required so that all baseband signals from the channel processors 228 are at the same rate allowing for summing the baseband signals at a central location.
- the interpolated baseband signals are then up converted to an appropriate IF signal such as quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK), frequency modulation (FM) or amplitude modulation (AM) signals (with I,Q input, the modulation is accomplished within the channel processors 228).
- the baseband signals are now carrier modulated high speed baseband data signals offset from zero hertz. The amount of offset is controlled by the programming of the DUCs 302.
- the modulated baseband signals are communicated on a high speed backplane interconnect 304 to signal selectors 306.
- the signal selectors are operable to select sub-groups of the modulated baseband signals.
- the selected sub-groups are communication channels which are to be transmitted within a particular sector of the communication system.
- the selected sub ⁇ group of modulated baseband signals are then communicated to digital summers 308 and summed.
- the summed signals still at high speed, are then communicated, via backplane interconnect 1130 to digital-to-analog converters (DACs) 310 and are converted to IF analog signals.
- DACs digital-to-analog converters
- IF analog signals are then up converted by up converters 314 to RF signals, amplified by amplifiers 418 (FIG. 4) and radiated from antennas 420 (FIG. 4).
- a plurality of DACs 310 are provided with groups 311 of three DACs being arranged on RF shelves, one DAC associated with a shelf.
- the groups of DACs 311 convert three summed signals, received on separate signal busses 313 of backplane interconnect 1130, to analog signals. This provides for increased dynamic range over what could be achieved with a single DAC. This arrangement further provides redundancy since if any of the DACs fail, there are others available. The result is merely a decrease in system capacity and not a loss of an entire sector or cell.
- the outputs of a group of DACs 311 receiving signals for a sector of the communication system are then analog summed in summers 312, with the summed analog signal being communicated to up converters 314.
- the transmitter 300 is also arranged with a plurality of transmitter banks (two shown as 330 and 330').
- the transmitter banks 330 and 330' include all of the equipment for the transmitter 300 between the channel processors 228 and the amplifiers 418.
- the output of the up converters 314, up converting summed analog signals for a sector of the communication system, for each transmitter bank 330 and 330' are then summed in RF summers 316.
- the summed RF signals are then communicated to amplifiers 418 and radiated on antennas 420. If an entire transmitter bank 330 or 330' fails, the effect is still only a loss of system capacity and not a loss of an entire portion of the communication system.

- the output of the up converter/modulator 1340 is then communicated to selector 306.
- selector 306 can take the form of banks of dual-input AND gates, one input of which is connected to one bit of the data word (i.e. the modulated baseband signal). With the control line held high (logical 1), the outputs will follow the transitions of the inputs.
- selector 306 is then communicated to a digital summer bank 1308, which adds data from previous digital summers associated with other DUCs onto one of a plurality of signal paths 313. Each signal path, as indicated, is associated with a sector of the communication system and communicates the summed signals to DAC groups 311. If selector 306 is open, the output of selector 306 is zeros, and as an input to summer 1308 leaves the incoming signal unchanged. It should also be understood that scaling may be required on the input, the output or both of summers 1308 for scaling the summed digital signal within the dynamic range of the summers 1308.
- the outputs of the DUCs representing signals destined for particular sectors of the communication system can be summed into a single signal for conversion to an analog signal. Or, as is accomplished in the preferred embodiment, may be further collected in sets and converted to analog signals by multiple DACs for enhancing the dynamic range and providing redundancy.

- a selector 1618 is provided and selects a zero input for I,Q up conversion.

- a channel processor 510 may survey other antennas, antennas other than an antenna it is presently processing a communication channel for, to determine if it is communicating over the best antenna in the communication cell. That is, if an antenna servicing another sector of the communication cell provides better communication quality, the communication link should be reestablished on that antenna. To determine the availability of such antennas providing better communication quality, the channel processor scans each sector of the communication cell.

If channel processor 310 is unable to seize the control bus 312, 1912, then the method loops back to block 1902.
- a time out check is made, 1910, if time out has not been reached, the method loops back to check if the DDC has become available. If a time out has been reached, an error is reported, 1920, i.e., channel processor 310 was unable to complete a desired scan.
