    摘要: The present invention relates to circuitry for a receiver having a low cost filter using automatic alignment of the center frequency of signals input to the filter to suppress noise and out-of-band signals from the filter output over a narrow bandwidth. An RF input signal to the receiver is downconverted to an IF frequency using a VCO, and the IF signal is provided to the low cost filter. The output of the filter is input to a frequency correction circuit and a distortion detection circuit. The distortion detection circuit provides an error signal including positive frequency shift errors determined from digital ones identified from the filter output signal, and negative frequency shift error signals determined from digital zeros in the filter output signal. The distortion detection circuit output is then provided through an infinite impulse response filter which integrates the distortion detection output to provide a voltage control signal to a voltage control input of the VCO and the frequency correction circuit. The VCO then automatically centers the frequency of the signal input to the low cost filter to suppress noise and out-of-band signals, and the frequency correction circuit removes error correction frequency shift provided by the VCO after downconversion. For battery powered devices, the infinite impulse response filter can maintain the state of the voltage control signal provided to the VCO upon receipt of a sleep mode signal after the sleep mode signal is disabled.

    摘要: A time sharing method and apparatus for frequency reuse in cellular communication systems. Frequency reuse is enhanced by synchronizing cell transmit/receive base stations in a cellular system to a common time base, and then sharing the available frequencies via allocated time slots. Cells using the same frequency that may interfere with each other are activated only during selected time intervals while same-frequency cells nearby are deactivated. The deactivated cells are then in turn activated while previously activated same-frequency cells nearby are deactivated. The frequency time slots may be of equal length, or longer time slots may be allocated to cells having higher usage rates, as determined in any of a number of ways. The time slots may be mutually exclusive, or may overlap. The time sharing technique of the present invention allows design of cell systems with many reuse patterns. Several particular cell reuse patterns are disclosed that provide good operational characteristics and low co-channel interference. The invention allows the use of a small number of cellular frequencies in a conventional cellular system without significant alteration of the existing system, and is particularly useful in two-way cellular paging systems. Improved reverse link data throughput is achieved via reuse of the reverse frequency channels.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for efficient use of both power and bandwidth in a cellular communications system in which a Mobile Unit preferably enters Sleep-Mode when no communications have occurred between the Mobile Unit and the Base Station over a predetermined amount of time measured by an "Idle Timer". Upon expiry of a Wake Timer, the Mobile Unit awakes from Sleep-Mode to determine whether a message is pending. Concurrently, the Base Station transmits a "TEI-Notification" message directed to all Mobile Units to notify each Mobile Unit that has data pending. A system parameter determines the intervals at which the Base Station will transmit these notifications. Upon waking to receive a TEI-Notification message, the Mobile Unit determines whether the quality of the transmission is at least sufficient to allow the Mobile Unit to decipher the TEI-Notification message. If this minimal requirement is met, and the TEI-Notification message does not indicate that data is pending for the Mobile Unit, the Mobile Unit returns to sleep, even though the Mobile Unit may reside in a cell other than the cell associated with the Base Station currently assigned by the IS to communicate with the Mobile Unit. The Mobile Unit of the present invention does not monitor the forward channels on a regular basis, but rather waits until either the signal quality of the forward channel over which the Mobile Unit is receiving has degraded such that the TEI-Notification message can no longer be deciphered, or the TEI-Notification message indicates that a message is pending.
