摘要:
Variances in bandwidth used by a radiocommunication connection are adapted to by changing the type of information being transmitted. For example, in a TDMA environment, a first downlink time slot associated with a double- or triple-rate connection may have a first format, while a second time slot associated with the same connection may have a second format different from the first format. Bandwidth in the second (or third) time slot can be used to carry information in a fast out-of-band channel (FOC). The FOC may provide information relating to the same connection as the payload or data field in that time slot, e.g., a service type identifier which informs the mobile or base station of the type of information (e.g., voice, video or data) being conveyed in the payload. Alternatively, the FOC information may be associated with a connection or connections which are different from that supported by the payload or data field containing the FOC.

For example, in a TDMA environment, a first downlink time slot associated with a double- or triple-rate connection may have a first format, while a second time slot associated with the same connection may have a second format different from the first format. Additional bits in the second (or third) time slot can be used to carry payload information which is not required to be transmitted at greater than full-rate. Moreover, FACCH information need only be transmitted in the master channel.

Emergency call handling may, in the near future, require terminal unit location information to be provided to emergency service centers. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide techniques which pass the mobile unit's phone number along to an appropriate emergency service centers in addition to location information. This information can be made available to an adjunct monitoring system by either changing the mobile station identity used to package (Layer 2) an access attempt or by commanding a mobile or base station to explicitly transmit the mobile unit's dialable number during an emergency access so that the adjunct system can read and forward this number.
