摘要:
A gateway 150 enables point to multipoint connectivity from voice, data, or SVD clients over voice and data networks. The gateway connects one or more known voice networks 115 (e.g. telephone networks) and one or more data networks 110 (e.g. LANs, WANs, and internet) so that clients on either network may access any of the networks via various devices like analog telephones 135, data modems, SVD modems 144, or direct data network connections (e.g., ethernet, token ring). The gateway has connections to both the data network(s) as well as the voice network(s). The gateway is capable of splitting a signal with both voice and data streams and routing either and/or both of these streams over the voice network alone, the data network, or both. A process, executing on the gateway enables the gateway to establish connections on gateway paths and to control and direct a flow of voice and data information between the destinations on these networks.

摘要:
Methods for handoff in a wireless communication network comprised of a local area network connected to a plurality of base stations, each of which has a geographic area, defined as a cell, within which mobile stations can communicate with a base station, with each such base station being capable of performing bidirectional wireless communication with one or more of said mobile stations under control of a controller, with communication between base stations and mobile stations being performed by frequency hopping, with there being n available frequency hopping channels in a fixed frequency band, with each channel being of a same fixed duration and having a fixed frequency different than another channel. The handoff method employs structure and techniques for determining by a mobile station that the quality of transmission between it and a current base station has degraded below a predetermined performance level, structure and technique for said mobile station to listen to each of successive frequency channels for a duration substantially less than said fixed duration of a channel until it senses a transmission from another base station, and structure and techniques for transferring control of said mobile station to said another base station in response to the sensed transmission.

摘要:
Direct communication between a primary portable unit initiating the communication and a secondary portable unit is established utilizing two handshaking operations. The first handshaking operation is performed in the base station channel to establish initial contact between the primary and secondary portable units. After initial contact is made, the second handshaking operation is performed to establish communication in an unoccupied channel. The base station channel and the unoccupied channel may be a TDMA/TDD channel or a TDMA/FDD channel.
