A Modular Residential Multi-Media Distribution System provides a single centralized interface for all external Wide Area Networks (WANs) which are received into the home/office environment. The MRMDS allows extensive modular flexibility in re-provisioning new services via changing or adding removable interfaces. Each WAN is individually connected to a distributor in the MRMDS. The MRMDS distributor interfaces the external WANs to a multiple of home/office Home Network Interfaces for distribution to a multiple of communication devices.

A mesh network mobile unit includes a communications arrangement operable to provide two-way communication between the unit and a mesh network and a regeneration arrangement operable to receive and retransmit signals between other mesh network mobile units and the mesh network. The unit also includes a power receiving arrangement operable to receive power from a power source, wherein the power source is selected from either an internal power source or an external power source and a power utilization arrangement operable to alternatively enable or disable the regeneration arrangement depending upon the selected power source. Embodiments of the invention also include a positioning system that determines the physical location of the mobile unit and uses the information to route signals to the unit.

Reverse sectorization is implemented by subscriber units with directionality and wireless system access points using substantially uniform transmission coverage. Each access point has at least one omnidirectional antenna forming a substantially uniform coverage area around the access point. Each subscriber unit has at least one directional antenna forming a directional coverage area. Subscriber units communicate with a particular access point through transmissions between the subscriber unit directional antenna and the omnidirectional antenna for the particular access point. The directional antenna may include a plurality of antenna patches with the subscriber unit selecting at least one antenna patch as the directional antenna. The directional antenna may also be positioned to optimize transmissions between the subscriber unit and the particular access point.

A method and system for performing a multi-channel soft handoff of a communication service in a wireless communication system between two different frequency channels. In one aspect of the multi-channel soft handoff, the handoff could be an inter-cell (cell to cell) handoff between respective controlling base stations. In another aspect of the multi-channel soft handoff, the handoff could be an intra-cell (within the same cell) handoff between different frequency channels supported by the controlling base station. In yet another aspect of the multi-channel soft handoff, the handoff could be an inter-cell (cell to cell) handoff between respective controlling base stations over the same frequency channel followed by an intra-cell handoff at the new base station between different frequency channels.

A base station for use in a CDMA mobile radio communication system utilizes a combined angular, spatial, and temporal diversity antenna architecture to improve reverse link gain and coverage. The architecture is formed from a first and second diversity narrow beamwidth antenna element arranged to receive CDMA signals from a predetermined geographic coverage area. Each antenna element is oriented so that respective peak boresights form a 45 to 60. degree. angle with respect to each other, and are slanted 22. 5 to 30. degree. with respect to a sector boresight. The first and second antenna elements are separated in distance by at least 10 wavelengths. A time delay can be connected to the outputs of the antenna elements to provide temporal diversity by delaying received signals by a predetermined period of time. A max ratio signal combiner continuously provides the best total input signal for a base station receiver.

An antenna system with both spatial and polarization diversity having a first antenna aperture and a second antenna aperture, a polarization separation angle formed by the difference between the polarization angle of the first antenna aperture and the polarization angle of the second antenna aperture, and a vertical separation formed by mounting the second antenna aperture a vertical distance above the first antenna aperture, such that diversity gain is achieved by both the polarization angle and the vertical distance. The combination of spatial and polarization diversity allows closer antenna aperture spacing and non-orthogonal polarization angles.

A method for correlating data taken during two test drives through the coverage area of a personal communication system, the data from each test set including a sequence of locations along a drive, a location from the first set being correlated with a location from the second set when the location from the second set is within a correlation distance from the location from the first set, the method including determining the correlation distance; setting the search point as a location in first set; determining a possible first correlated location from the first set and a corresponding first correlated location from the second set using the search point, the correlation distance, and a search radius if no correlated data has yet been found; otherwise determining a possible next correlated location from the first set and a corresponding next correlated location from the second set using the search point, the correlation distance, the correlated location from the second set that was most recently found, and a search number. The effects of data taken during slow or halted movement are reduced by averaging or discounting locations. The effects of changing environmental variables may be reduced by determining at least one data variable that should have remained constant between data for correlated locations and, for each geographically correlated pair, determining any difference between data values for one of these variables, and compensating data from the correlated pair using the determined difference.
