    摘要: A method for use in a field unit operable in a wireless communication network. The method includes receiving an indication of a plurality of access identifiers from a base station. The field unit selects an access identifier from the plurality of access identifiers received from the base station. The selected access identifier is associated with a type of field unit request. The field unit transmits the selected access identifier to the base station. The field unit then receives a message from the base station. The message is based on the transmitted selected access identifier. The message contains a timing adjustment that indicates an amount to advance timing. A corresponding field unit apparatus, a base station method, and corresponding base station apparatus is also disclosed.

    摘要: Multiple field units in a CDMA system are synchronized for communication with a base station using shared forward and reverse link channels. In an illustrative embodiment, each field unit is assigned a time slot in a forward link channel to receive messages from the base station. Likewise, each field unit is assigned a time slot on a common reverse link channel for transmitting messages to the base station. Timing alignment and power level control among each of many field units and the base station is achieved by analyzing messages received at the base station in a corresponding time slot as transmitted by each field unit. Thereafter, a message is transmitted from the base station in a corresponding time slot to a particular field unit for adjusting its timing or power level so that future messages transmitted from the field unit are received in the appropriate time slot at the base station at a desired power level. In this way, minimal resources are deployed to maintain communication and precise synchronization between a base station and each of multiple users, minimizing collisions between field units transmitting in adjacent time slots on the reverse link. This method reduces the frequency a field unit must rely on the use of a slotted aloha random access channel according to IS-95.

    摘要: In an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a first channel is allocated for transmitting sporadically generated messages from multiple field units to a base station. The first channel is preferably divided into time slots in which a field unit transmits an access request message to the base station for establishing a communication link. In response to an access request message, feedback information is provided from the base station to multiple field units indicating whether a collision was detected on the first channel for a message transmitted in a previous time slot. In an instance when a collision is detected, the field unit will re-transmit an access request message at a previous power level setting based on a random back off time. If no collision is detected and the base station fails to transmit an acknowledgment message from the base station to the access requesting field unit, the power output level of the field unit is increased for successive message transmissions until the message is received.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for creating non-interfering coded signals to be simultaneously transmitted over a common frequency in a wireless communication systems, such as a CDMA system, at various data rates and without the use of orthogonal codes and/or orthogonal code generation techniques. The system provides cascaded arrangement of code modulations which each include a channel sequence combiner and selector. The channel sequence combiner receives an input signal and a repetitive maximum length channel sequence and combines these signals to produce a combined signal. The selector receives the input signal, the combined signal, and a repetitive strobe signal, and selects either the input signal or the combined signal to produce an encoded signal based upon a value of the repetitive strobe signal.

    摘要: A technique for a time division multiplex system in which access to shared broadcast communication media is granted on a demand basis. Particular connections are assigned slot times at the transmitter based on demand. However, no specific information regarding the assignment of time slots need be communicated to the receivers. The transmit side employs a forward error correction technique followed by multiplication by a cover sequence unique to each connection. All receivers listen to the broadcast transmission channel all of the time. The receiver assigned to each connection decodes the signals in such a manner that only the receiver with the correct cover sequence assigned to a particular connection will successfully decode the data associated with that connection. Data frames that fail the forward error correction process are discarded, and only those frames which are successfully decoded are passed up to a higher layer. The occurrence of an erroneously received frame is not necessarily always reported to the transmit side of the connection; only a packet level error indication is made. In this way, information containing time slot assignment need not be communicated between the transmitter and receiver, and yet data will be correctly received.
