SYSTEM UND VERFAHREN ZUM EINSATZ VON VOLL-REDUNDANTEN FREQUENZSPRUNGVERFAHREN MIT MEHRTRÄGER-LEISTUNGSVERSTÄRKERN UND KOMBINATIONSSYSTEMEN INNERHALB EINER BASISSTATION

摘要

An apparatus comprises: a transmit diversity redundancy controller (TDR) (210) comprising: a switching mechanism (255); and a processor (212) configured to select a first output of the switching mechanism associated with a first antenna branch. In response to an indicator of a fault in a second antenna branch, in an active remediation mode, the processor selects as the first output the output of at least one recombiner (250) including signals associated with the second antenna branch and signals associated with first antenna branch (220). In response to the indicator of the fault, in a passive remediation mode, the processor selects as the first output the signals associated with the first antenna branch and the processor drops signals associated with the second antenna branch.
