    Abstract: A system and method for communicating between local subscriber units and a local base station repeater cell in a two-way communication interactive data broadcast network. In one embodiment, a store and forward repeater receives data signals transmitted by a local base station repeater cell and forwards the signals to local subscriber units. Responses from the local subscriber units are then transmitted from the local subscriber units back to the local base station repeater cell means via a local remote receiver. In so doing, two-way communication is achieved between a local base station repeater cell and local subscriber units.

    Abstract: A network hub switching center routes communications from and to a plurality of RTUs. CTSs transmit data to the RTUs dispersed over a predetermined CTS geographic area and the RTUs present multiplexed digital data which is synchronously related to the CTS broadcast signal for communication with identified individual RTUs within designated geographic areas. A number of intermediate receivers are provided with each CTS for receiving messages from low-powered local RTUs. The intermediate receivers are located at a set of cell subdivision sites, which are partitioned from the CTS geographic area and are dispersed over the CTS geographic area. The CTS data processing and transmission facilities provides for synchronizing the transmission facilities with a precision clock signal derived from an independent precision clock source. The clock source is independent of the radio broadcast signals when the interactive radio network operates in conjunction with a source of radio broadcast signals. In one embodiment, the precision clock signal is obtained, for example, from a Global Positioning System (GPS) network. The CTSs and RTUs operate in a band of carrier frequencies between 218-219 MHz. The RTUs transmit on a plurality of frequencies, and the receive-only intermediate receivers at different subdivision sites operate on different ones of said frequencies within the 218-219 MHz band.

    Abstract: A system for reducing power consumption by a portable electronic communication device. Modem circuit for receiving messages and for transmitting messages from a portable electronic communication device are powered via power source control/switch coupled thereto. A logic circuit is coupled to the power source control/switch for control the power source control/switch to selectively deliver power to the modem circuit of the portable electronic communication device during a first time interval and to withhold power from the modem circuit of the portable electronic communication device during a second time interval. A low power control clock/counter is coupled to the logic circuit means for measuring the duration of the first and second time intervals. In one embodiment, the first time interval occurs while the modem circuit of the portable electronic communication device is transmitting or receiving messages. Thus, the modem circuit uses power only when transmitting and receiving, but does not consume substantial power during standby periods.

    Abstract: In a two-way interactive communication video network having a network switching center for point-to-point communications between subscribers at different geographic locations, a local base station configuration is provided for facilitating low power battery operated portable subscriber units. The local subscriber units surrounding a base station are adapted for multiplex transmission of digital messages synchronously related to a broadcast television signal for system coordination. Digital messages are transmitted from the local subscriber units to the base station data processing facility through a set of receive only cell site subdivision zones distributed over the base station transmitter geographical range, which communicate with the base station data processing facility over a communication link such as wired cable. Messages are compiled and relayed by satellite to a network switching center transmitter site for nationwide point-to-point communications. Small-size, inexpensive, low-power, portable, digital-transmitting subscriber units are introduced compatible with interactive video data system standards with the ability to cross subdivision and cell zones. Thus, monitoring of inventory, temperature, and other parameters for passive automatic alarm systems and the like, as well as active mobility of subscriber units for meter reading and the like is made possible with direct low-cost nationwide real time reporting capability.
