摘要:
A satellite-based, world-wide cellular messaging system transmits paging messages to pagers via multiple beams. A message unit monitors multiple beams, recording the visit information for each beam, and ultimately determines the optimum beam to monitor for messages. The message unit, which conserves battery resources by entering into a sleep mode, synchronizes quickly to its message block when it awakes.

Radiocommunication systems and methods for minimizing co-channel interference are disclosed. The systems and methods are applicable to, for example, landmobile communications (420), satellite communication systems (410) and hybrids (400) thereof. Signal processing using matrix models of received and transmitted signals provides for minimized interference.
摘要:
The present invention includes a low-earth satellite-based paging broadcast system (100) and method (200, 300) that maximizes spectral efficiency and minimizes power expenditure for the broadcast of paging messages by broadcasting the messages to terminator- or originator-selectable portions of the total system coverage area. The terminator selects a long-term preferred geographic area (LTPGA), and optionally, a short-term preferred geographic area (STPGA). The originator provides the terminator ID, the message, and optionally provides a customized preferred geographic area (CPGA). Terminators and originators can easily modify the selectable geographic areas (SGA(s)): LTPGA(s), STPGA(s), and CPGA(s). The gateway converts the SGA(s) to addressable coverage areas (ACA(s)), and transmits a signal including the paging information, and ACA(s) to at least a first communication satellite (COM SAT). The COM SAT(s) provide for crosslinking the signal to other COM SAT(s) and for broadcasting the paging information to the ACA(s).

An advanced telecommunications system is provided for the recognizing of spoken commands over a cellular telephone (15), satellite telephone (14), or personal communications network (16). In the cellular application, for example, a Speech Recognition System (20) interconnects either internally with or as an external peripheral to a cellular telecommunications switch (12). The Speech Recognition System (20) includes an administrative subsystem (21), a call processing subsystem (23), a speaker-dependent recognition subsystem (25), a speaker-independent recognition subsystem (27), and a data storage subsystem (29). Pre-recorded instructional messages are stored in the memory of the call processing subsystem (23) for instructing a user on his or her progress in using the system. The speaker-independent recognition subsystem (27) allows the user to interact with the system employing non-user specific functions. User specific functions are controlled with the speaker-dependent recognition subsystem (25). User specific attributes collected by the recognition subsystems are stored in the data storage subsystem (29).

A satellite based simulcast paging communication system comprises a plurality of terrestrial stations (118) capable of simulcasting the paging information with at least one satellite (102) for reception by one or more of a plurality of terrestrial receivers (900) (pagers). Also included is at least one control station (110) for determining where and how to deliver the paging information to achieve simulcast transmission.
摘要:
Est décrit un système mondial de communications qui possède des transmetteurs de terre (1108), destinés à transmettre des signaux de messages codés dans chacune des zones comprises parmi une pluralité de zones géographiques (1102, 1104, 1106). Le système mondial de communications comprend également au moins un émetteur de satellite (1114) qui transmet les signaux de messages codés dans chacune des zones géographiques mondiales. Les transmissions des signaux des messages codés comprennent des mots codes d'identification des canaux qui servent à identifier les canaux de terre et le canal du satellite. Le canal de terre est sélectionné pour le fonctionnement lorsque le mot code d'identification du canal reçu correspond à un premier mot code prédéterminé d'identification du canal. Le canal du satellite est sélectionné pour le fonctionnement lorsque le mot code d'identification du canal ne correspond pas à un second mot code prédéterminé d'identification du canal. Le canal de terre est périodiquement resélectionné lorsque le mot code d'identification du canal reçu sur le canal du satellite correspond à un second mot code prédéterminé d'identification du canal.
摘要:
A paging system includes a satellite uplink (40) for assembling paging information and transmitting it to a satellite (26). The satellite (26) is then operable to transmit in a simulcast manner all the information to various regional paging systems (42). Each of the paging systems (42) includes a plurality of towers (10) each containing a satellite receiver (50), a satellite dish (48) associated therewith and a paging transmitter (52). Each of the satellite receivers (50) are operable to receive the information transmitted from the satellite (26) at substantially the same time such that there is no phase difference between any of the towers, regardless of location. Therefore, the transmitters (50) can transmit through antennas (12) information at the paging frequency with substantially no relative delays relative to each of the antennas (12). A backup link receiver (28) is provided for interfacing with a backup link transmitter (70). In the event of a failure of the receivers (50) or the satellite (26), the link transmitter (70) will transmit the paging information directly to select ones of the towers (10) over a separate frequency.
摘要:
The disclosure relates in some aspects to location reporting and paging for satellite communication. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to a user terminal (UT) sending a message to report information about the UT's location. A threshold may be used to control whether (e.g., when) the UT reports its location. The location information may be used to enforce area (e.g., country) restrictions for the UT. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to forwarding paging messages between network access controllers. For example, a network access controller that is not able to page a UT may forward a paging message to another network access controller. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to a list of paging areas that indicates where a UT need not perform a paging area update.

A service providing method in a satellite communication system includes: receiving service request signals from terminals which exist in a service area and are to receive the communication service; calculating the total traffic volume within the service area by using the service request signals; forming hierarchical multi beams which cover the calculated traffic volume to provide a service to the terminals; and allocating resources and power to the formed hierarchical multi beams, transmitting the resource and power allocation information to the terminals through control channels, and providing the service to the terminals through the formed hierarchical multi beams by using the allocated resources and power.

A transceiver (10) for transmitting and receiving satellite RF signals is provided. The transceiver (10) includes RF front-end receiver circuitry (20) capable of receiving FM radio broadcast RF signals and converting the FM radio broadcast RF signals to an intermediate frequency. The RF front-end receiver circuitry (20) is configured to receive RF signals at greater than 108 MHz and convert the RF signals to an intermediate frequency. The transceiver (10) also includes signal processing circuitry (40) including at least one DSP core (42) for demodulating intermediate frequency signals provided by the front-end circuitry (20) and for modulating data to be transmitted into baseband modulated data signals, and at least one audio output (46). The transceiver (10) further includes RF transmitter circuitry (30) configured to convert the baseband modulated data signals provided by the at least one DSP core (42) into modulated transmit signals having a frequency greater than 108 MHz for transmission and transmit the modulated transmit signals.
