    摘要: In a time division multiple access (TDMA) radiotelephone communications system, a spread spectrum random access channel signal representing a random access message is communicated from a radiotelephone to a central station according to a spreading sequence. In response, a TDMA radiotelephone communications channel is assigned to the radiotelephone. A time division multiplexed radiotelephone communications signal is communicated between the radiotelephone and the central station on the assigned TDMA radiotelephone communications channel over a time division multiplexed carrier frequency band. Preferably, in communicating the spread spectrum random access channel signal, a random access channel signal, representing the random access channel message, is direct sequence modulated according to the spreading sequence to produce a direct sequence modulated random access channel signal. According to a two-stage detection aspect, a synchronization sequence may be associated with a plurality of spreading sequences. The synchronization sequence may be first detected from the communicated spread spectrum random access channel signal, and in response to detection of the synchronization sequence, one of the plurality of spreading sequences associated with the detected synchronization sequence may be detected. A station identification may be assigned to the radiotelephone, with the station identification preferably represented by a digital station identification word. The synchronization sequence and the spreading sequence may be identified from the station identification word, thus associating the synchronization and spreading sequences. The spreading sequence may also be randomly generated from the station identification word.

    摘要: In a time division mutiple access (TDMA) satellite radiotelephone communications system, a radiotelephone communicates random access channel radiotelephone communications signals to a satellite over a dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band. In response, a time division mutiple access channel on a time division multiplexed uplink carrier frequency band different from the dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band is assigned. The radiotelephone communicates time division multiplexed radiotelephone communications signals to the satellite over the allocated time division multiple access channel. Random access channel radiotelephone communications signals may be communicated to the satellite from a first radiotelephone over a first dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band or from a second radiotelephone over a second dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band different from said first dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band. For a system in which the satellite communicates radiotelephone communications signals to radiotelephones located in a first coverage area and communicates radiotelephone communications signals to radiotelephones located in a second coverage area, random access channel radiotelephone communications signals may be communicated over a first dedicated random access uplink carrier frequency band if the radiotelephone is located in the first coverage area or communicating random access radiotelephone communications signals over a second dedicated random access channel uplimk carrier frequency band different from the first dedicated random access uplink carrier band if the radiotelephone is located in the second coverage area.

    摘要: A communication system provides efficient satellite communication in rural, remote, or sparsely populated areas, or in areas lacking a conventional telephone infrastructure, or in special purpose uses such as airport coverage. Subscribers in such areas communicate with the satellite via a simple, highly modular entry node located in a local area to be served. Subscriber units provide subscribers with access to the system. The subscriber units are connected to the entry node via local access loops provided by point-to-point wireless links between the subscriber units and the entry node. The entry node internally switches local traffic among subscribers and connects traffic to outside circuits, via wireless links with the satellite, as appropriate. The outside circuits are provided by the cooperative working of the satellite, an entry-node controller, and an earth station. The wireless links between the satellite and the entry node and the local access loops may operate at the same or different frequencies. If they operate at different frequencies, a frequency translator in the entry-node controller matches the different frequencies. A subscriber unit may be used to provide the subscribers with access to the system such that speech compression and decompression takes place in the subscriber unit itself to avoid the effects of tandem coder/decoders.

    摘要: A satellite-cellular communication system includes a satellite based transceiver for transceiving two-way communications originated at a user terminal. As a part of call set up, controller determines whether the user terminal should transmit in the uplink in either a wide band mode of operation or in a narrow band mode of operation. The controller then specifies to the user terminal the mode of operation through the transceiver. Whether the user terminal transmits in the uplink in a wide band or in a narrow band mode depends upon factors including the type of device, channel usage and efficiency in the channels to and from the satellite transceiver and the signal quality of the signals received at the transceiver.

    摘要: A portable phone capable of operating in cellular and satellite modes of communication is disclosed as including a main housing, circuitry located within the main housing for operating the portable phone in the cellular mode, circuitry located within the main housing for operating the portable phone in the satellite mode, a first antenna coupled to the cellular circuitry for receiving and transmitting signals in the cellular mode, and a second antenna coupled to the satellite circuitry for receiving and transmitting signals in the satellite mode. The second antenna can either be mounted to the main housing of the portable phone or housed within a flip cover coupled to the main housing. If provided, the flip cover is coupled to the main housing so as to be rotatable about a first axis and a second axis substantially perpendicular thereto. The first antenna may extend from the main housing, be printed on a surface of the flip cover, or be housed within the flip cover adjacent the second antenna.
