摘要:
The present invention is a system and method for detecting and locating the transmission of radio frequency signals from within a defined geographical area. The system uses statistical confidence limits to detect outliers caused by transmissions in the defined geographical area. The source of the transmission can then be located with triangulation.

A radio system user (126) is alerted (129) as to the occurrence of a financial transaction by a customer (118). Data (122) is obtained from the customer (118) and used to identify a radio system user (126), who is authorized to conduct the financial transaction. A message, indicative of the financial transaction, is automatically provided to a radio system and broadcast (129) to the radio system user (126), thereby alerting the user (126) to the financial transaction.

A radio communication system including a control station and at least one remote station (20) is provided. The control station has a receiver for receiving radio signals, a transmitter for transmitting radio signals and a demodulator for measuring the frequency of the received signals. Responsive to a request for frequency measurement received from the receiver, the control station also has an error signal encoder to provide an error feedback signal containing the polarity and magnitude of the frequency difference for transmission by the transmitter. At least one remote station (20) has a receiver (25), a transmitter (26), a frequency controller (46), an encoder for encoding the request for frequency measurement and for actuating the transmitter (26) to transmit the request, and a decoder (34), responsive to the received error feedback signal for adjusting the frequency control.

The present invention contemplates an improved dispatch trunked radio system which provides for individual subscriber to subscriber communication as well other enhanced trunking features. An expanded "dual-word" signalling protocol provides an improvement over prior "single word" signalling protocols by increasing the versatility of commands which may be communicated between the components of the trunked radio system. The "dual-word" signalling protocol of the present invention remains compatible with prior "single-word" subscriber units.

A wireless communication device (102) includes a multi-mode transceiver (204) that is operable to communicate with a plurality of communication networks. The device (102) also includes a memory (216) for storing: an electronic address book (226) that includes a plurality of identifiers (302), each identifier (302) identifying a call destination device; a plurality of access network choices (304) for at least one of the identifiers (302); and a plurality of service choices (308) for at least one of the identifiers. The device (102) further includes a controller (210) having access to the memory (216) for determining a preferred call model and selecting one of the plurality of access network choices and one of the plurality of service choices as a preferred call model for at least one of the identifiers.
摘要:
All subscribers operating within a communication system initially generate and transmit a random password and their ID code to the operation (control) center of a communication system. Thereafter, in a first embodiment, subscribers are commanded to modify (in a predetermined manner) and re-transmit their password and ID code either periodically or upon requesting access to the communication system. The modified password is retained as the current (authorized) password by both the subscriber and the system. In a second embodiment, subscribers are commanded to generate and transmit a new random password and their ID code to the system, which maintains a history of each subscriber's current and previous passwords. According to the invention, some of the subscribers having an unauthorized (duplicated) ID code may be inactive (off) when the subscriber is commanded to modify or generate a password. In this way, one of the subscribers having an unauthorized (duplicated) ID code will become out-of-sync with the system, and eventually transmit an unauthorized password. When the system receives an incorrect password for an out-of-sync subscriber, access to the communication system may be denied, and the subscribers that duplicate (or permit others to duplicate) ID codes may be identified.

Disclosed is a method to dynamically allocate a number of data channels on a trunked radio system (100). The data activity is monitored during a predetermined time interval. If activity is above a predetermined maximum, an additional channel may be reserved for data use. Conversely, if data traffic is low, a data channel may be reallocated for voice message use. Moreover, should the amount of data traffic among the available data channels be unbalanced, the present method contemplates reassigning subscriber units (114 or 116) to the available data channels to balance the data traffic load, thereby providing superior access time and system performance.

An improved communication system is disclosed wherein at least one reprogramming station is added to a communication system. The reprogramming station is constructed and arranged to communicate with the subscriber units thereby either reprogramming or regrouping them. The subscribing units receive the reprogramming command and acknowledge individually, altering a memory means until either reprogrammed back to the original state, or to another state. In another mode, the reprogramming station transmits a regrouping command wherein two or more groups are combined to form a super group.

The system requires the use of the permanent ID of the requesting unit in every channel request made on a control channel before every transmission. The channel grant will include the ID along with the channel number and these may be recorded for possible later reference. A channel assignment is retained for a brief period after each transmission, allowing a conversation to be continued on the same channel without a break. Units can access the control channel with a channel request and be assigned a channel even while the dispatcher is using the voice channel. In the case of a need for communication with a larger group, a dispatcher can form a temporary "patch" group of all involved units, with a temporary ID assigned to that group. A channel request from a member of the larger group must then include, not only the permanent ID of the requesting unit, but the temporary ID of the "patch" group.
