    摘要: A radio telephone which is capable of switching between operating through a land based cellular network and an orbiting satellite system is disclosed. First antenna and radio frequency circuits receive transmitted signals from the land-based network and form first conditioned signals for subsequent numerical decoding. Second antenna and radio frequency circuits receive transmitted signals from the orbiting satellite system and form second condition signals for subsequent numerical decoding. Numerical decoders process either the first condition signals or the second conditioned signals to provide an automatic frequency control signal. Reference frequency oscillators controlled by the automatic frequency control signal provide a reference frequency signal. Radio frequency synthesizers using the reference frequency signal and having a first output at a first programmable frequency connected to the first radio frequency circuits determine reception of a channel frequency of the land-based network and a second output at a second programmable frequency connected to the second radio frequency circuits determine reception of a channel frequency of the orbiting satellite system.

    摘要: A low complexity adaptive equalizer for use in U.S. digital cellular radios demodulates .pi./4-shifted differentially encoded quadrature phase shift keyed (DQPSK) encoding in the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI) with reduced decoding complexity by employing an estimated received constellation which takes into account channel changes over time and ISI. The decoding complexity is reduced by tracking a reduced number of estimated reference constellation points and taking advantage of the geometry to estimate the remaining symbol constellation points. A slot of symbols is decoded, employing unique filtering, in segments from the beginning in a forward direction and from the end in a reverse direction meeting at a fade point. This isolates a fade and allows the equalizer to perform more reliably.

    摘要: The present invention includes a system and method for minimizing interference between two radio stations, e.g., a mobile radio telephone and a fixed base station, at the initiation of a radio communication. A mobile station initiates a random access at the lowest power level and increases the transmission power level until the base station detects the access signal. Once detected, the power level of the message is maintained at the detected level so that the signal interference is avoided. The present invention also provides a mechanism for synchronizing random access communications between mobile stations and the base station despite variation in distances between the mobile and base stations.

    摘要: Transceiver frequency and optionally power level are allocated to a radio personal communications system which includes a base station connected to a wire telephone network and a cellular terminal operating within a region of a wide area cellular network to minimize interference between communications over the wide area cellular network and communications between the base station and the cellular terminal. The same cellular terminal may thus be used to communicate over the lower cost wire network when within range of the base station and over the wide area cellular network otherwise. The frequency for communications between the cellular terminal and the base station are optionally assigned by the operator of the wide area cellular network so appropriate frequencies and power levels can be assigned for base stations, to minimize same channel interference with the wide area cellular network.

    摘要: Methods for carrying out an authentication check in a mobile telephone system in which an authentic base station serves a plurality of mobile stations. A prior method carried out a unidirectional check from the base to a calling mobile, permitting a false base to carry out a false authentication check by collecting a number of so-called RAND-Response pairs. To avoid this problem, another unidirectional, base-to-mobile, authentication check and an authentication check from the mobile to the base are carried out. In one embodiment, only the bi-directional authentication check is carried out.

    摘要: Two or more signal paths are provided for receiving a radio frequency signal. One or more signal paths include conventional bandpass filters for eliminating interference and noise signals. One or more remaining signal paths include reduced filtering devices for increasing the sensitivity of a radio frequency receiver to the desired signal. Each of the receiving paths is coupled to a respective radio frequency amplifier. Provided that each radio frequency amplifier has equivalent current-source output impedances, the output signals from each amplifier are added constructively if they are in-phase. If the output signals are out-of-phase, a phase inverter inverts the phase of one signal so that the signals may be added constructively. The combined signals of the two or more radio frequency amplifiers pass through various signal processing components associated with conventional superheterodyne receivers. A control unit produces gain variation signals for controlling the gain of each radio frequency amplifier. Accordingly, the control unit controls whether the desired signal is received from a first signal path, a second signal path, or as a weighted combination of two or more signal paths.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for demodulating data symbols transmitted through a fading communication channel. A plurality of first predetermined data symbols, a plurality of unknown data symbols, and a plurality of second predetermined data symbols are sequentially received. The received pluralities of data symbols are stored, and first and second sets of reference signals from the stored pluralities of first and second predetermined data symbols, respectively, are determined. The stored unknown data symbols based on the first set of reference signals are forward-demodulated, beginning with unknown symbols received nearer the first predetermined data symbols. The stored unknown data symbols based on the second set of reference signals are backward-demodulated, beginning with the unknown data symbols received nearer the second predetermined data symbols. Quality values indicative of demodulation qualities of the forward- and backward-demodulated data symbols are determined. The quality values are compared, and either the forward- or backward-demodulated data symbols are selected based on the comparison of quality values.

    摘要: A decoding system discriminates between different types of communications traffic signals. Each type of traffic signal is encoded using a different error correction code. Plural, parallel decoders each decode a received traffic signal using a different decoding technique. Each decoding technique operates in accordance with one of the error correction codes. A quantitative measurement of the reliability of a decoded result is generated by each decoder. A comparison processor accumulates the quantitative measurements made by each decoder and compares the accumulated values. That decoder having the most reliable, accumulated value is selected to decode the current traffic signals. The remaining decoders are deactivated to conserve processing time.

    摘要: The invention relates to a phase-locked loop having a variable bandwidth and comprising a controlled oscillator, a phase comparison device, two current generating devices (21-22, 25-26) and a loop filter (23-24). Each of the current generating devices is intended to produce a positive or a negative pulsed current in response to signals from the phase comparison device. The outputs of the current generating devices are each connected to a respective point in the loop filter. The loop bandwidth can be varied continuously while maintaining a desired damping factor, by increasing the amplitude of the currents from each of the current generating devices (21-22, 25-26) when the bandwidth is to be increased, and vice versa.
