Abstract

The invention is directed to the characterization of an optical channel, such as an optical fiber, in an optical network. The method includes calibrating a transmitter by measuring its transmitter and dispersion eye closure (TDEC, in the case of non-return to zero optical (NRZ) optical systems or transmitter and dispersion eye closure quaternary (TDECQ, in the case of 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) optical systems). That calibrated transmitter is used to characterize the optical channel being tested by providing a measure of its stressed eye closure (SEC) or stressed eye closure quaternary (SECQ). A loss deficit for the optical channel can be calculated by subtracting the SEC or SECQ value from the maximum TDEC or TDECQ value.

Abstract

A termination panel includes a termination bulkhead formed of multiple pivoting bulkhead members. Each bulkhead member is configured to selectively pivot about a pivot axis extending through a middle region of the bulkhead member. The bulkhead members may pivot independent of each other or may entrain pivoting motion of adjacent bulkhead members. In certain examples, the location of the pivot axis about which the bulkhead members pivot can be changed without changing the bulkhead members.

Abstract

The present application relates to a mounting device configured for mounting a base station antenna (10) on a supporting member (11), and providing the adjustability of the mechanical tilt angle of the base station antenna. The mounting device comprises a first mounting unit, a second mounting unit, and an elastic element (3). The first mounting unit is configured to provide a pivot point for the base station antenna, the second mounting unit has an adjustable effective connection length for the base station antenna, with the effective connection length related to the mechanical tilt angle of the base station antenna, and the elastic element is configured to resist an increase in the mechanical tilt angle of the base station antenna on at least a part of the adjustable range of the mechanical tilt angle of the base station antenna. The mounting device allows for the easy adjustment of the mechanical tilt angle of the base station antenna, reducing the workload and safety risks of the operator.

Abstract

A low sidelobe beam forming method and dual-beam antenna schematic are disclosed, which may preferably be used for 3-sector and 6-sector cellular communication system. Complete antenna combines 2-, 3- or -4 columns dual-beam sub-arrays (modules) with improved beam-forming network (BFN). The modules may be used as part of an array, or as an independent 2-beam antenna. By integrating different types of modules to form a complete array, the present invention provides an improved dual-beam antenna with improved azimuth sidelobe suppression in a wide frequency band of operation, with improved coverage of a desired cellular sector and with less interference being created with other cells. Advantageously, a better cell efficiency is realized with up to 95% of the radiated power being directed in a desired cellular sector.

Abstract

An optical medium, such as fiber, is tapped to provide an antenna port wherever radio service coverage is desired. Each antenna port is a bi-directional remote unit that receives a digital optical signal from a host unit and transforms the signal to a radio frequency signal for transmission by the remote unit. The remote unit receives radio frequency signals that are converted to digital signals and summed with signals from other remote units and converted to an optical signal for transmission to the host unit.

Abstract

An optical fiber cable assembly comprising an optical fiber slidably enclosed within a hollow tubing, both the fiber and the tubing having corresponding first and second ends. The cable is terminated with the first and second ends of the tubing and the fiber constrained with respect to each other such that fiber and the tubing are approximately the same length when the cable is at a first temperature. The tubing is made of a material which contracts more than the optical fiber when the cable is exposed to temperatures below the first temperature, such that the fiber is longer than the tubing and excess fiber length is formed. An intermediate portion of the tubing permits the excess fiber length to accumulate without bending in a radius smaller than a minimum bend radius

Abstract

One embodiment is directed to an open radio access network (O-RAN) distributed antenna system (DAS) that comprises a central access node (CAN) configured to communicatively couple at least one O-RAN distributed unit (O-DU) to the O-RAN DAS, where the O-DU is configured to communicate with a single O-RAN remote unit (O-RU) entity. The O-RAN DAS also includes a plurality of O-RAN remote units (O-RUs) communicatively coupled to the CAN over a fronthaul network, where the O-DU, CAN, and O-RUs are configured to natively use an O-RAN fronthaul interface to communicate fronthaul data over the fronthaul network. The CAN is configured to appear to the O-DU as the single O-RU entity for a cell served by the O-DU even though the CAN is configured to serve the cell using multiple O-RUs that form a simulcast group for that cell. One or more CANs can be used. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract

One embodiment is directed to a communication system comprising a remote unit comprising a remote unit local clock and a controller communicatively coupled to the remote unit using a switched Ethernet network. The remote unit is configured to synchronize the remote unit local clock to a reference timing source using timing messages communicated over the switched Ethernet network with the remote unit. The communication system is configured to transmit the timing messages and baseband data so as to reduce a level of contention encountered by the timing messages in connection with being communicated over the switched Ethernet network.

Abstract

In one embodiment, a multi-transceiver RF signal processing system comprises: a controller; a DPD core and CFR engine; and a plurality of transceiver paths comprising at least a first transceiver path for a first frequency block, and a second transceiver path for a second frequency block. The first frequency block is adjacent to the second frequency block. Signal processing outputs a stream of digital RF based on wireless RF signals received into the first and second transceiver paths. Signal processing inputs a first stream of digital RF and outputs a first digital RF signal corresponding to the first frequency block to the first transceiver path, and outputs a second digital RF signal corresponding to the second frequency block to the second transceiver path for wireless transmission via the at least one antenna. The DPD core applies a distortion that covers the first and second frequency blocks.

Abstract

Systems and methods for reducing latency in the data path between a source and destination and managing resources in a 5G network are provided. The systems and methods described herein include dynamically selecting user plane functions (UPFs) and/or dynamically placing UPFs at particular locations within the 5G network. In some examples, each UPF in the 5G network is statically placed, and the UPF used for communication between a source and destination is dynamically selected based on control plane data. In other examples, UPFs are dynamically placed, and the UPF used for communication is dynamically selected to reduce latency and/or resource usage based on control plane data. In other examples, UPFs are dynamically placed, and the UPF used for communication is dynamically selected to reduce latency and/or resource usage based on user plane data after the flow of packets has started between a source and destination.
