  • NEED FOR THIS INVENTION
  • This invention addresses the need for new more efficient embodiments and implementation architectures of reconfigurable, adaptable, interoperable multimode ultra wideband -ultra narrowband(UWN) systems as well as a class of broadband wireless, broadband wireless access (BWA) and other spectral and power efficient communication systems. The BWA systems, disclosed herein include new implementation architectures and new “hybrid” embodiments for WCDMA, WiMAX, Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11 and other IEEE specified systems. Local Multipoint Distribution Systems, other point to point systems and Multipoint Distribution Services (MDS) will need more efficient, reduced size interoperable Multimode Multiple Input Multiple Output (MMIMO) hybrid operation, disclosed herein.
  • A network which incorporates UWB and UNB or other combinations of communications and or broadcast systems, is designated here as a “hybrid” system or “hybrid” network. While prior art UWB systems, broadband systems, systems known as IEEE 802 standardized systems , WI-FI and/or Bluetooth provide communications for short distances some of these systems are not efficient for longer range/longer distance applications.
  • While spectrally efficient, narrowband and Ultra Narrow Band (UNB) systems are suitable for short as well as longer distances there are no disclosed embodiments for cost efficient-simple reconfigurable, interoperable communication and broadcasting system architectures, baseband, intermediate frequency (IF) and radio frequency (RF) implementations for Bit Rate Agile (BRA) systems, Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) in case of UWB and UNB systems and the connection of these systems into an operating network. Processing the data signals, clock signals, and/or carrier waveforms of UWB, of UNB and of a class of other systems leads to shaped radio-frequency (RF) waveforms and wavelets. With Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) diversity and protection system configuration the performance and capacity of these “hybrid” UWB and UNB systems may be further enhanced. For such systems more efficient and simpler architectures and implementations are disclosed.
  • In prior art patents and in other published documents and articles the aforementioned sets of systems were invented, studied and investigated separately from each other and joint-hybrid efficient and seamless, adaptive Modulation Format Selectable (MFS) and Bit Rate Agile(BRA) operation and joint embodiments of systems which operate as Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) in flexible agile UWB and UNB systems in conjunction with other wireless and wired (cable, telephone, fiber optics) systems such as 2nd generation wireless systems, such as GSM systems, CDMA systems, 3rd generation cellular systems and 4th generation wireless and cellular systems , including broadband systems were not disclosed.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • One set of communications systems contains highly spectral efficient, narrowband, very narrowband and ultra narrowband (UNB) systems; an other set contains broadband, wideband and ultra wideband (UWB) systems. Combinations and variations of these two sets of systems are designated herein with the generic term/acronym:Ultra wideband—ultra narrowband(UWN) systems.
  • The most important objectives of wireless communications, broadcasting, telemetry, location based systems GPS (Global Positioning System), Radio Frequency Identification systems (RFID), internet browsing infrared and in general “radio” systems as well as “wired” systems include: power and bandwidth or spectrum efficiency combined with robust Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in a noisy and/or strong interference environment. These Radio Frequency (RF) system objectives are specified in numerous systems including wireless communications and cellular systems, satellite systems, mobile and telemetry systems, broadcasting systems, cable, fiber optics and practically all communication transmission systems. Here we are using the term “Radio Frequency” (RF) in its broadest sense, implying that we are dealing with a modulated signal. The RF could be, for example, as high as the frequency of infrared or fiber optic transmitters; it could be in the GHz range, e.g., between 1 GHz and 300 GHz, or it could be in the MHz range, e.g. between about 1 MHz and 999 MHz or just in the kHz range, such as used in telephony modems. The term RF could apply to Base-Band (BB) signals, to Pulse Position Modulated(PPM) signals, to Quadrature Modulated (for short “QM” or “QMOD”) and to FM or AM or hybrid modulated signals, to non-quadrature modulated signals, or to un-modulated Carrier Wave (CW) signals or waveforms.
  • The cited publications, patents, pending patents and other published documents, reference numbers [1-31 ], and the references within the aforementioned publications contain definitions and descriptions of many terms used in this new patent disclosure and for this reason these “prior art” terms and definitions will be only briefly, on a case by case basis highlighted.
  • While the majority of prior patents and publications disclose systems which have a spectral efficiency of less than about 10 b/s/Hz [such systems include GMSK, BPSK,QPSK, QAM (e.g. 16-QAM; 64 QAM), Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) and Pulse Duration Modulation methods] there is prior art which discloses implementations which could attain considerably higher spectral efficiencies, i.e. more than 10 b/s/Hz.
  • H. R. Walker's patents, references [1-5] and Feher's patent Ref. [16] describe information signal transmission methods which could attain ultra high spectral efficiencies of more than 10 b/s/Hz, designated herein as ultra narrowband(UNB) or ultra spectral efficient systems.
  • While the aforementioned issued patents and publications describe material of a background nature, they do not describe or suggest the subject matter of the present patent.
  • Prior to the description of the current invention, a brief review and highlights of prior art, contained in the description of FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 is presented. Some of the embodiments of the current disclosure use the terminology and acronyms and/or related acronyms to the ones used in the prior art and may use as part of the current embodiments acronyms /elements taken from prior art.
  • FIG. 1 a prior art Time Constrained Signal (TCS) processor and Long Response( LR) filter/or LR processor architecture, also designated herein as a “Feher '055” processor is illustrated.

No. 6,470,055, Ref. No. [17]. In brief, the term “agile” includes the meanings: flexible or changeable or tunable or selectable. The terms “cascade” and “cascaded” include the meanings: flow, or in series, or in sequence or in conjunction with. In other words cascaded also means that something is arranged in a series or succession of stages; that is each stage derives from or acts upon the product of a preceding stage. The term mismatch has the same meaning as in Feher's U.S. Pat. No. 6,470,055, Ref. No. [17] and Feher's US patents Ref. No. [18-19]. The Feher '055 processor is a unit, suitable for implementation of one of the elements of Ultra Narrow Band(UNB), Ultra Wide Band(UWB), combinations of Ultra Wide Band—Ultra Narrow Band(UWN) systems and other communications and broadcasting systems for system implementations and /or for Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) system embodiments disclosed in the current invention.
  • FIG. 2 a prior art implementation of a narrowband system, also designated herein as ultra narrowband (UNB) system, and/or a Feher '777 processor is shown.
  • This implementation from Feher's U.S. Pat. No. 6,198,777, Ref. No. [16] is also designated herein as a Feher '777 processor, Feher Keying (FK) Modulation and Demodulation(modem)-system It is suitable for implementation of a part of ultra narrowband (UNB), ultra wideband (UWB) embodiment and combinations of ultra wideband—ultra narrow band(UWN) systems, also designated herein as “hybrid” systems or hybrid networks.

  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention discloses new, efficient embodiments and implementation architectures of reconfigurable, adaptable, interoperable broadband wireless, multimode ultra wideband—ultra narrowband(UWN) systems as well as a class of broadband and other spectral and power efficient communication systems.
  • A network which incorporates UWB and UNB or other combinations of communications systems is designated here as a “hybrid” system or “hybrid” network.
  • Processing the data signals, of clock signals, and/or carrier waveforms of UWB, of UNB and of a class of other systems leads to shaped radio-frequency (RF) waveforms and wavelets. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) diversity and protection system configuration the performance and capacity of these “hybrid” UWB and UNB systems may be further enhanced. For such systems more efficient and simpler architectures and implementations are disclosed.
  • Specific Objectives of this invention include:
  • A 1st objective of this invention is to disclose implementations and embodiments which shape waveforms, wavelets, symbols, Radio Frequency(RF) cycles of previously disclosed non-shaped signals by means of optional TCS and/or LR processors and filters. Such shaping improves the spectral characteristics and or other performance parameters the system and leads to, in several cases simpler implementation architectures.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION AND OF ITS EMBODIMENTS
  • Detailed disclosure of several implementation architectures and embodiments of the current application is contained in this section.
  • FIG. 6 is an embodiment of an Ultra Narrow Band(UNB) architecture, containing in part a processor or modulator, element 6.1. Element 6.1 represents a processor and/or a modulator such as a Missing Cycle(MCY) or Phase Reversal Keying(PRK) modulator (e. g. Walker '737 modulator) which provides by connector 6.2 to the input of Time Constrained Signal(TCS) processing and/or shaping unit 6.3 the processed and/or modulated signal.
  • One or more Data Input (Data In) and Clock Input (Clock In) signals are provided to or from processor unit 6.1. The flow of Data Input (Data In) and Clock Input (Clock In) signals, depending on the preferred arrangement and application, could be either from the data/clock source unit, also designated as customer interface, not shown in FIG. 6, or towards the customer interface unit.
  • Processor 6.1 processes the incoming data/clock signals and generates one or more Modified Amplitude Wavelets (MAW), Missing Chip (MCH), Missing Cycle (MCY), Pulse Position Modulation (PPM), Phase Reversal Keying (PRK) signals with optional Modulation Format Selectable (MFS) waveforms or wavelets. Prior art references including Walker's '737 modulators, Ref No.[1-2 ], Feher's '777 processor, Ref. No.[16], Mohan Ref. No.[6] and McCorkle et al Ref. No.[15] disclose exemplary embodiments for Processor 6.1. The processor 6.1 provides output signals (waveforms, wavelets, symbols, or cycles are alternative terms herein for the term “signal”) on single or multiple lead(s) 6.2.
  • In case if element 6.1 is implemented by a Walker '737 modulator or is implemented by one of the Feher's '777 processors then on connection lead 6.2 there are shaped or not-shaped waveforms. Units 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 provide additional optional signal shaping and processing functions.
  • In the current invention the 6.1 processed prior art signals, or other signals, are provided to additional optional signal processing elements shown in FIG. 6. Unit 6.3 shapes the waveform generated in 6.1 and connected on lead 6.2 to processor 6.3. Processor 6.3 is providing a waveform shaping operation in a Time Constrained Signal(TCS) waveform (or wavelet) shaping processor. The processed/shaped TCS waveform output of processor 6.3 is connected to element 6.4 which contains a digital processor and a Digital to Analog (D/A) converter. The 6.4 digital processor may include serial to parallel data conversion or contain digital interface circuitry for suitable D/A interface. The output of the D/A is connected to a Long Response (LR) filter or processor, element 6.5. Since the prior art contains material on D/A converters and also on TCS and LR filters/processors, e.g. Feher's '777 processor, Ref. No. [16] and Feher's '055 processor Ref. No. [17], it would be redundant to describe here embodiments of TCS processors and of LR processors/filters.
  • In other words, Unit 6.3 is a waveform(or wavelet or symbol) shaping element which provides shaped TCS signals to Unit 6.4 which contains a digital processor, or analog processor/filter and/or a Digital to Analog Convereter (D/A). The output of Unit 6.4 is connected to Unit 6.5, which is a Long Response(LR) filter or processor (baseband or IF or RF). The output of Unit 6.5 is provided on single or multiple lead 6.6 to optional selector(switch or splitter) 6.6 b and to element 6.7 for subsequent modulation and/or to element 6.8 which provides signal splitting or switching or combining. The outputs of element 6.8 are provided to one or more output leads and to one or more antenna units 6.9 and/or 6.10.
  • The term lead and its alternate term connection lead is interchangeably used in this application. The terms lead and connection lead are interpreted in a broad sense, including: the terms lead and connection lead mean that a connection is provided or there is a connection, or the signal is connected to a device or one or more signals are provided to a transmission medium. The term transmission medium includes the following generic meanings: transmitter port, transmitter interface, amplifier, cable connection, fiber optic interface, telephone line interface and telephone line, antenna, wire or wireless input port.
  • Processor 6.13 receives signals from input lead(s) 6.12 and provides control signals on lead(s) 6.14 to unit 6.8. The signal outputs of unit 6.8 are provided for Diversity Transmission and or splitting to a main channel and protection channel whereby the transmitted signals are controlled or selected by a control signal on lead(s) 6.12 and processed by element 6.13. The control signal could be obtained from a feedback path from a receiver or generated in the transmitter.
  • Depending on the application, performance specification and hardware, software or firmware requirements all units 6.1 to 6.14 in the aforementioned description are optional. Operational systems are obtained by “mix and match” selection of some of the elements. For example the embodiment could be limited to connection of Elements 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.7 and 6.9 or other combinations or selections of connected elements.
  • Lead 6.6 connects the shaped and processed signal to a waveform/signal modulator. Modulator 6.7 includes one or more conventional prior art modulators, for example FM, GMSK, GFSK, AM, DSB-AM, DSB-TC-AM DSB-SC-AM, BPSK, PPM, PAM, PWM, or Quadrature modulator such as QAM, QPSK, QPRS, 8-PSK or other.
  • Modulated output(s) of element 6.7 is(are) provided to a splitter and/or switch unit 6.8 which provides the signal to one output, two outputs or more than two outputs, illustrated by antennas no 6.9 and 6.10. The split or switched multiple outputs of element 6.8 provide Multiple inputs to antennas 6.9 and 6.10. The FIG. 6 embodiment represents a Multiple Input Multiple Output(MIMO) transmitter, a transmitter which could have between 1and N (where N is an integer number) inputs and/or between 1 and M (where M is an integer number) outputs and instead of antennas interface units for wired systems may be used. Splitter and/or switch element 6.8 provides signal splitting or selection into one or more transmit branches, illustrated by antennas 6.9 and 6.10.

  • FIG. 10 shows an alternate transmitter embodiment of Multimode Multiple Input Multiple Output (MMIMO) systems of the current invention. FIG. 10 includes embodiment of a multimode MIMO interoperable Ultra Wideband (UWB), Ultra Narrow Band(UNB) transmitter system with 2nd generation (2G), 3rd generation (3G) and 4th generation (4G) cellular and other wireless and non wireless systems. This implementation shows structures for a combination of adaptive and other selections of multi-mode, multi-format, multiple rate systems, operated in a single mode or multiple-mode, or hybrid modes. While the combinations and use of the elements in FIG.10 are new, FIG. 10 contains elements from the prior art and in particular from Schilling's U.S. Pat. No. 6,128,330, designated, listed also as reference number[13]. In addition to the prior art referenced units, the new units include 10.1, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 and the combinations of these elements and interactions among them which enable a new generation of broadband, UWB, UNB and 2G or 3G or even 4G systems to operate with new structures. One of the novelties and counter-intuitive inventions of this disclosure and benefits of this application are in the hybrid adaptable-reconfigurable and “mix and match” blocks of FIG. 10. An example is the use of one or multiple ultra narrow band(UNB) processed and/or modulated signals in a spread spectrum mode. In such a hybrid UNB and spread spectrum structure the UNB processor first generates an UNB signal and afterwards one or more of the ultra narrow band signals is spread to a much wider band spread spectrum system in a Multimode Multiple Input Multiple Output (MMIMO) system structure. With such an architecture a higher spreading factor and higher performance is attainable than with prior art spread spectrum systems. Some of the other original discoveries and inventions of this disclosure are in the fact that the combinations of the structures shown in FIG. 10 process and generate spread spectrum, e.g. CDMA signals from 2G systems such as GSM or other TDMA modulated signals and spread the GSM or TDMA signals in one or more spreaders in an optional MMIMO structure. The disclosed multi-mode operation leads to seamless connectivity among different systems, among systems operated at different bit rates, having different modulation formats and different coding rules. On leads 10.1 and 10.2 the single or multiple signals and clocks are provided to or from the data and clock processor, Unit 10.3. Unit 10.4 contains a broadband and/or an UWB processor; unit 10.5 an UNB processor; Unit 10.6 a 2G, 3G or 4G processor. The 2G processor contains a GSM processor generator and or GSM/GPRS combined with EDGE and/ or other processors.

Unit 10.7 a selects or combines the signals and provides them to one or more optional Forward Error Correction Coder (FEC) or other error control coding or error detection encoder(s), Unit 10.8. The signal selection or signal combination of unit 10.7 a is directed/controlled by one or more control signals provided on leads 10.7 b. The said control signals are programmed, user selected or operator selected signals, or obtained from the corresponding receivers. The encoded signal is connected to interleaver 10.9 and a pre-amble generator or pre-amble processor. Unit 10.10 provides additional data. The optional de-multiplexer, Unit 10.11 provides de-multiplexed signals to spreaders 10.12, 10.13, 10.14 and 10.15. A chip sequence generator provides one or more chip sequences to the aforementioned spreaders. The spread signals are provided to antennas 10.17, 10.18, 10.19 and 10.20. One or more of the spread signals are selected for transmission.
  • The embodiments and structures of FIG.10 provide a large combination of hybrid “mix and match” of multiple mode interoperable systems including interoperable broadband, spread spectrum or non-spread spectrum systems, UMTS, UWB, UNB and of other communications, telemetry, broadcasting, broadband wireless, location finder and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems.
  • FIG.11 is an embodiment of a parallel hybrid “mix and match” transmitter architecture for Multimode Multiple Input Multiple Output (MMIMO) and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems of the current invention. On leads 11.1 and 11.2 one or multiple data and /or clock signals are provided to or from Data/Clock Interface unit 11.3. The Data/Clock Interface unit 11.3 processes the data and or clock signals. Clock processing includes processing of the clock rate of the data signal to generate clock rates which are the same and or are different then the clock rate of the input data. The clock rate of the input data is designated as the Clock rate or Clock of the data “CLD” signal. Within unit 11.3 clock rates which are integer multiples, sub-integer multiples or fractions of the data rate are generated. These selectable bit rates are designated as Clock Rates or Clock of the Control Data “CLC” signals. The CLC rates are in some embodiments integer multiples, sub-integer multiples or fractions of the data rate clock CLD, while in other embodiments the CLC rates are “not related” to the CLD rate; here the term “not related” to refers to a CLC rate which is not derived from the CLD signal, that is, it is in a free running operation and or asynchronous with the CLD rate. In some exemplary embodiments the CLD rate equals the CLC rate, while in other embodiments the CLC rate is four(4) times, or eight(8) times or, one thousand (1000) times, or seven and one third (7and ⅓) times higher than the CLD rate or it is a fraction of the CLD rate. The CLC and CLD signals are provided through Unit 11.4 the Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) unit, as processed control signals to control the operation and signal selection of units 11.5,11.6, 11.7, 11.8, 11.9 and 11.10. Unit 11.4 is an Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) unit; this unit is also designated as Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) unit. Unit 11.4 processes received signals from Unit 11.3 and provides them to the Adaptive RF frequency and wave generation unit 11.l and to processor unit 11.7. The outputs of the AMC contain data signals, control signals, clock signals and other signals (e.g. overhead signals/bits, pre-amble signals, known also as preamble bits or preamble words, signal quality monitor signals bits or chips). Adaptive RF frequency and wave generation unit 11.5 provides RF frequency agile or flexible RF waveforms to leads 11.6. One or multiple leads 11.6 are connected to processor unit 11.7. Within unit 11.7 under the control of the AMC, unit 11.4 processed and/or generated signals and/or under the control of the CLD rate or CLC rate clocks, one or more than one (one or multiple) signals are connected and/or processed and connected to leads 11.8. Selection or combinations of Leads 11.6 and 11.8 are controlled by the output signal or output signals of unit 11.4 the AMC processor. Element 11.7.1 represents a connection between the input and output of processor 11.7. Element 11.7.2 is a digital and or analog signal processor or filter or a hybrid processor and filter which provides signal processing, shaping or filtering functions. Element 11.7.3 is an attenuator or amplifier, or unit gain connector which changes (modifies) the amplitude of the incoming signal and provides an amplitude modified output. Element 11.7.4 is a signal inverter; Element 11.7.5 is a signal inverter and amplitude modification device; Element 11.7.6 is a signal conditioner and or filter. This signal conditioner and/or filter element includes optional phase shifters, time delays and or switch components. The switch component of element 11.7.6l connects or disconnects(disables) the signal path between the input and output ports of element 11.7.6. If in a particular time (e.g. during a specific bit duration or a fraction or multiple bit durations) the said switch component is in one of its positions designated as ON, then the signal is forwarded to the output port, while for the other position of the switch designated as OF, the signal between input and output of element 11.7.6 is not connected. The AMC, Unit 11.4 provided control signals select or combine one or more of the unit 11.7 processed signals, processed by one or more of the aforementioned elements of unit 11.7, and provides these processed signals, through the selected leads 11.8 for subsequent amplification in unit 11.9 antenna selection or splitting combining in selector or splitter unit 11.10. One or multiple antennas, illustrated by units 11.11 and 11.12 are used for signal transmission. In an illustrative embodiment of FIG. 11 the RF frequency generator, unit 11.5 provides an un-modulated carrier wave (CW) signal to processor unit 11.7 . One or more control signals, generated in the AMC unit 11.4 select for one multiple RF cycles attenuator element 11.7.3, while for other RF cycles a unit 11.7.2 processed RF cycle is selected. In an other illustrative embodiment of this invention, for each data signal (data bit or data symbol) representing a one (1) state four (4) RF cycles are provided through element 11.7.1 and a selected lead 11.8 to the transmit amplifier 11.9, while for each data signal representing a zero (0) state four(4) attenuated waveforms, also designated as wavelets, or in this case RF cycles are provided through element 11.7.3 and a selected lead 11.8 to the transmit amplifier 11.9. An illustration of the resultant 4 cycles per bit waveforms with modified amplitude zero state signal is shown in FIG. 18 and in particular in FIG. 18 a; we designate such signals as Modified Amplitude Wavelets (MAW) and the process as Modified Amplitude Wavelet Modulation (MAWM).
  • In an other embodiment of this invention, for each data signal (data bit or data symbol) representing a one (1) state one(l) RF cycle is provided through element 11.7.1 to the transmit amplifier 11.9, while for each data signal representing a zero (0) state one (1) RF cycle is disconnected, that is in element 11.7.6 it is not connected to transmit amplifier 11.9. This case is referred to as Missing Cycle Modulation (MCM); the MCM has Missing Cycles(MCY) and or Missing Chips (MCH), i.e. not transmitted cycles (disconnected cycles or disconnected fractions of cycles) in the transmitted signals. In
  • FIG. 16 and in particular in FIG.16 c a Missing Cycle Modulated (MCM) signal pattern for a sample data pattern of 1001 bits is shown, with 1missing cycle from 8 cycles for zero state signals and no missing cycles for 1 state signals. This modulation format is designated as missing cycle 1:8 modulation or MCY 1:8.
  • In an other embodiment of this invention, for each data signal (data bit or data symbol) representing a one (1) state eight (8) RF cycles are provided through element 11.7.1 to the transmit amplifier 11.9, while for each data signal representing a zero (0) state one out of eight RF cycles has its output phase inverted (relative to the input phase), or has its phase modified (relative to the input phase); these phase inversion or phase reversal and phase modification processes are implemented in element 11.7.5. These cases are designated as Phase Reversal Keying(PRK) and Phase Modification Keying(PMK) respectively. Illustrative examples of Phase Reversal Keying(PRK) modulated signals are shown in FIG. 16 d for a PRK modulated output signal a 1001 input data pattern with 1 out of 8 cycles having reversed phase for state zero(0) inputs, while for state one(1) inputs there are no phase reversals. The signal shown in FIG. 16 d is designated as a Phase Reversal Keying(PRK) signal with 1:8 reversals, or PRK 1:8 .
  • One of the structures of this invention generates for one state data different waveforms than for zero state data, such as illustrated in FIG. 18 c. The illustrated waveform for a one state information bit (or one state chip in case of spread spectrum signals) generates one single cycle of a carrier waveform while for a zero state information bit (or zero state chip in case of spread spectrum signals) generates one single cycle of a carrier waveform which has a different waveform shape than that for the one state. For example a one state bit could correspond to a single RF cycle having a sinusoidal shape while the zero state bit corresponds to a single RF cycle which corresponds to a reduced amplitude non sinusoidal shape (e.g. periodic square wave signal or a periodic multilevel signal such as generated by a D/A converter). Signals, such as illustrated in FIG. 18 c are generated by alternative selection for one and zero states, in Unit 11.7, elements 11.7.2 and 11.7.6 or other combinations of elements.
