Definitions
- Applicants' invention relates to communications systems including transmitters and receivers, and more particularly to a communications system that optimizes performance by dynamically adjusting transmitter power and receiver at ⁇ tenuation.
- a receiver In a typical telecommunications system, such as in a cellular telephone system, a receiver is designed to function with signals in a given signal strength range. This signal strength range is referred to as the dynamic range of the receiver. The lowest acceptable signal strength that can be received is called the receiver sensitivity. The highest acceptable signal strength that can be received is called the blocking limit.
- the distance between a base station (BS) and a mobile station (MS) varies as the mobile station moves around within a cell. Consequently, in large cells, the variations in received signal strength can be very large. Sometimes, these variations are so large that they cannot be compensated byvarying the mobile station*s transmit power. In such cells, it would be useful for the receiver dynamic range, that is, the signal level range defined by the highest and lowest acceptable received signal levels, to be changed/transposed in relation to the distance between the base station and the mobile station.
- the receiver dynamic range may be transposed by placing an attenuator between the antenna and the receiver. As at- tenuation increases, both the lowest and highest acceptable received signal strengths increase. Similarly, the receiver dynamic range is transposed downward as attenuation decrea ⁇ ses. This influence of attenuation on dynamic range is illustrated in Figure 1. When attenuation is set at 0 decibels (dB) , the receiver dynamic range 101 is defined by the sensitivity 102 and the blocking limit 103 of the receiver (not shown) .
- the receiver dynamic range shifts to a new dynamic range 104, defined by sen ⁇ sitivity 105 and blocking limit 106, both of which are substantially 3 dB higher than the respective sensitivity 102 and blocking limit 103 that existed when attenuation is only 0 dB.
- the sensitivity 108 and blocking limit 109 are again increased, yielding a new receiver dynamic range 107.
- the distance between a mobile station and a base station can be very small. This can lead to disturbances in the receive band if there are large cells in the same area as the small cell. These large cells may belong to the same network as the small cell, or they may belong to another network operating in the same or an adjacent frequency band.
- the measure of these disturbances can be a bit error rate in digital communications systems. In analog systems, other signal quality measures can be used, such as total distortion of a modulated pilot tone.
- FIG. 2 The situation just described is illustrated in Figure 2, in which a base station B 201 is associated with a cell 202, and a base station A 203 is associated with a cell 204. It will be observed that cell 204 is smaller than cell 202, and defines a geographical area that is located inside or near cell 202. Thus, because of the difference in the cells' relative sizes with respect to one another, cell 202 may be called a "macro- cell” and cell 204 may be called a "microcell”.
- the base station A 203 receiver may experience disturbances from mobile station B 205. This may be so even if the radio frequencies used by base station A 203 are widely separated from those used by base station B 201 and mobile station B 205.
- base station A 203 is equipped with a dynamically adjus ⁇ table attenuator interposed between the antenna and receiver as described above, the attenuation can be increased until the disturbance experienced by the receiver is acceptably low. This is because the disturbances in the receive band are attenuated with at least the value of the attenuator.
- the desired signal from mobile station A 206 which is transmitting to base station A 203, is also attenuated with the value of the attenuator. This may cause the signal from mobile station A 206 to be unacceptably low for reception by base station A 203.
- Applicants' invention provides a receiver that receives a communications signal from a transmitter, the received communications signal being attenuated at the receiver.
- the signal strength of the signal is then measured. This measured signal strength is then applied to a means for controlling the attenuation and to a means for controlling the transmission power.
- the attenuation control means dynamical ⁇ ly controls the amount by which the received signal is attenuated.
- the transmission power control means generates a power control signal to be communicated to the transmitter.
- the transmitter uses the received power control signal to adjust the power level at which it transmits the communications signal to the receiver.
- Both the attenuation control means and the trans ⁇ mission control means control, respectively, receiver attenuation and transmission power level so as to optimize system performance.
- receiver attenuation and transmission power level are adjusted to keep the attenuated signal within the dynamic range of the receiver. This feature is useful, for example, for designing a less expensive receiver having a reduced dynamic range which is compensated for by appropriate adjustment of receiver attenuation and transmission power level.
- receiver attenuation is adjusted so that the receiver sensitivity level is relati ⁇ vely high compared to a disturbance signal level, while at the same time transmission power level is adjusted so that the communications signal coming through the attenuator is still within the dynamic range of the receiver.
- the attenuator may include an antenna having a dynamically adjustable gain.
- dynamic adjustment of receiver attenuation and transmission power level are applied to a system in which a plurality of receivers are coupled to a common antenna through a multicoupler.
- a common attenuator is interposed between the common antenna and the multicoupler.
- each receiver is also capable of further attenuating its received communications signal.
- Figure 1 is a graph showing the dynamic range of a receiver as a function of attenuation
- Figure 2 illustrates the situation of having a small mobile communications cell at least partly located within a large mobile communications cell
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention for dynamically controlling receiver attenuation and transmitter power
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of several receivers coupled to one antenna in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 5 is a block diagram of another embodiment of the invention which uses partitioned attenuation in a system having multiple receivers coupled to a common antenna by means of a multicoupler;
- FIG. 6 is a block diagram of an alternative embodiment of the invention in which an antenna and a variable attenuator have been combined in a common element.
- Blocks to the right of the dotted line 301 are located in a mobile station. Blocks to the left of the dotted line 301 are located in a base station.
- Signals received at the base station by means of an antenna are input to a dynamically adjustable attenuator 302.
- the signal that is output from the attenuator 302 is input to a signal strength measurement circuit 303.
- the output of the signal strength .measurement circuit 303 is coupled to the inputs of an attenuation control circuit 304, and to a mobile station power control circuit 305.
- the attenuation control circuit 304 is coupled to the attenuator 302 in order to control the amount of signal attenuation that occurs.
- the mobile station power control circuit 305 uses the output of the signal strength measurement circuit 303 in order to generate a signal that is communicated to a mobile station power circuit 306, where it controls the transmit power level of the mobile station.
- the signal strength measurements and power control functions are made in accordance with the European Telecom ⁇ munications Standards Institute's (ETSI) Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) standards, which are herein incorporated by reference.
- GSM recommendation 05.08 describes signal strength measurement in Sections 8.1.2 and 8.1.3. Sections 3.2-4.7, in conjunction with GSM recom ⁇ mendation 05.05 Section 4.1, describe RF power control.
- the control functions of the attenuation control circuit 304 and the mobile station power control circuit 305 are described in more detail below.
- One use of the dynamic control system depicted in Figure 3 is to compensate for the varying signal strength received by a base station B 201 (see Figure 2) that occurs when a mobile station B 205 travels within a large cell 202. If the transmit power of the mobile station B 205 is constant, the signal strength received by the base station B 201 decreases as the distance between the mobile station B 205 and the base station B 201 increases. Conversely, as the mobile station B 205 comes closer to the base station B 201, the received signal strength increases, assuming again that the transmit power of the mobile station 205 is constant.
- the present invention compensates for this as follows.
- the mobile station power control circuit 305 detects the diminution in received signal strength, and transmits a signal ordering the mobile station B 205 to transmit at a high power level. Due to the large path loss that occurs over this distance, the received signal strength in the base station B 201 may still be weak, and may be close to the receiver sensitivity level.
- the received signal strength in the base station B 201 increases. This is detected by the mobile station power control circuit 305, which responds by transmitting a signal to the mobile station B 205 which causes it to reduce its transmit power to a level that keeps the received signal strength within the receiver dynamic range. At some point, as the mobile station B 205 travels towards the base station B 201, the mobile station B 205 is transmitting at its lowest possible power level. As the mobile station B 205 continues towards the base station B 201, the received signal strength will increase, and after some time may be higher than is acceptable. In other words, despite the fact that the mobile station B 205 is transmitting at its lowest possible power level, its proximity to the base station B 201 causes the received signal strength to exceed the blocking limit of the receiver.
- the attenuation control circuit 304 which detects the unaccep- tablyhigh received signal strength, and orders the attenuator 302 to increase the amount of attenuation.
- the upper limit of the acceptable signal strength i.e. , the blocking limit
- Another problem that is solved by the present invention is the above-described situation that can occur when a small cell 204 is located inside, or near, a large cell 202.
- the disturbance in a base station A 203 caused by a mobile station B 205 that is attempting to transmit to a base station B 201 may be high, relative to the wanted signal being transmitted by the mobile station A 206.
- the mobile station power control circuit 305 detects the high level of distur ⁇ saye, recognizable in digital communications systems, for example, as an increase in the bit error rate for the channel, and causes actions as follows.
- the attenuation control circuit 304 causes the attenuator 302 to increase its at ⁇ tenuation until the signal strength of the disturbance 110 (see Figure 1) is considerably reduced, possibly below the receiver sensitivity level 105.
- the desired carrier signal is also attenuated by this action.
- the mobile station power control circuit 305 transmits a signal to the power control circuit 306 of mobile station A 206, causing it to increase its transmit power level until the received signal strength of the carrier signal 111 (see Figure 1) is above the receiver sensitivity level 105.
- the received signal strength of the desired signal is kept constant above the sensitivity level while the disturbance is suppressed.
- the mobile station power control 305 could have been the first to act by ordering the mobile station A 206 to increase its transmit power level in order to increase the received signal strength accordingly, and thereby reduce the bit error rate.
- the attenuation control circuit 304 could then respond to this occurrence by increasing attenuation of the received signal to bring the received signal strength back down to a desired level.
- dynamic attenuation under the control of the attenuation control circuit 304 is combined with a mobile station power control process, carried out by the mobile station power control circuit 305, in which signal quality of the received signal is used to determine the transmit power.
- a mobile station power control process carried out by the mobile station power control circuit 305, in which signal quality of the received signal is used to determine the transmit power.
- a number of receivers 403 are shown coupled to a single antenna 401 by means of a receiver multicoupler 402.
- the receiver multicoupler 402 is a wideband amplifier that receives a broad band signal and has a plurality of narrow band signal outputs.
- Each receiver 403 may include the invention as described above with reference to Figure 3.
- the receiver multicoupler 402 may, itself, suffer blocking by strong signals that are input from the antenna 401. In that case, it is apparent that any attenuation that occurs within individual receivers 403 will be unable to eliminate this blocking.
- the receiver multicoupler 402 may be designed to have a higher blocking limit than any of the individual receivers 403.
- FIG. 5 Another solution to the problem of blocking in the receiver multicoupler 402 is shown in Figure 5.
- attenuation is partitioned in order to achieve an optimum selection of attenuation before and after the receiver multicoupler 402.
- One of a number N of receivers 503 is shown in Figure 5. Although the following description makes reference only to a single receiver 503, it should be understood that the descrip ⁇ tion is applicable to each of the N receivers 503.
- Each receiver 503 has the control circuitry as described above with reference to Figure 3.
- the output of the signal strength measurement circuit 303 from each receiver 503 is coupled to an input of a base station front end attenuation control circuit 504.
- a signal representing the amount of attenuationbeingutilized by the respective receiver 503 is also output from the receiver's base station attenuation control circuit 505 and coupled to an input of the base station front end attenuation control circuit 504.
- the base station front end attenuation control circuit 504 combines these inputs with corresponding inputs from the other receivers 503 to determine the true signal strength of the signal that is being output from the front end attenuator 506. For example, these input signals to the base station front end attenuation control circuit 504 may simply be averaged. Other methods of determining the true signal strength of the signal that is being output from the front end attenuator 506 may also be used.
- the base station front end attenuation control circuit 504 then adjusts, by means of an output signal that is coupled to the front end attenuator 5O6, the strength of the signal that is input to the receiver multicoupler 502.
- the adjustment is such that the front end attenuation is kept as low as possible while still preventing blocking in the receiver multicoupler 502.
- the base station front end attenuation control circuit 504 must also have information regarding the dynamic range of the receiver multicoupler 502.
- the information pertaining to the dynamic range of the receiver multicoupler 502 should preferably be preprogrammed in the base station front end attenuation control circuit 504.
- each individual base station-mobile station link is regulated so as to produce an optimum balance of transmitted power and received signal quality.
- FIG. 6 an alternative embodiment of the invention is shown. This embodiment is very much like the one shown in Figure 3.
- the variable attenuator has been replaced by the antenna/attenuator 602, which is an antenna having adjustable antenna gain, such as an electronically adjustable phased array antenna.
- the remaining elements in Figure 6 operate the same as the corresponding elements described above with respect to Figure 3, and need not be described in further detail.
- IM intermodulation
- n the order of the inter- modulation product.
- This makes it possible to implement a receiver/antenna configuration having an extreme robustness against radio environments having the kinds of disturbances discussed above, including high signal strength (causing blocking) , and intermodulation products.
- system margins can be widened to improve performance in the presences of other types of disturbances, such as cochannel interference and propaga ⁇ tion channel distortion.
