To address the need for an apparatus and method for CDMA-dispatch soft handoff, the present invention enables base-initiated soft handoff for dispatch calls. A mobile station (120) in a dispatch call establishes an individual inbound link (137) with the serving base site (111). The serving base site and one or more adjacent base sites (e.g., 110 and 112) determine the signal quality of the inbound link transmissions of the mobile station. The adjacent base site with the highest received inbound link signal quality is selected as the target soft handoff site. The serving base site then transmits the handoff information to enable the mobile station to begin a soft handoff with the target site.

To address the need for an apparatus and method for quickly establishing a CDMA dispatch call, the present invention provides for paging mobile stations (e.g., 120-123) to inform them of the call and then starting the dispatch call without waiting for page responses from the call participants. The dispatch call is first transmitted by base sites (e.g., 110-112) of all the service coverage areas (e.g., 101-103) that may have call participants, and then discontinued at those base sites where no page responses are received within a period of time. Thus, the dispatch call is established while “call setup” effectively continues.
摘要:
A quality dispatch service on a CDMA based wireless system. To achieve spectral efficiency and fast access for follow-up calls, in response to a request by a talkgroup member to have a group call established, the non-requesting (listening-only) members are allowed to establish a low-rate (non-voice) signaling link in the reverse direction (inbound) for the limited purpose of (i) providing forward power control information to the fixed infrastructure; (ii) requesting soft hand-off when required; and (iii) maintaining the correct reverse link power control to allow for fast channel access for a follow-on call. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, the establishment of low-rate inbound signaling links occurs prior to beginning the voice communications. Because a low-rate signaling link, as contemplated by the present invention, is a non-voice link which signals at a predetermined rate substantially less than that of a full-rate traffic link, proportionately less average power is required for dispatch communications than would otherwise be the case if full-rate traffic links were provided instead to non-talking talkgroup members. The present solution results in less interference to the CDMA system and thus substantially less impact on overall system capacity.

In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, the establishment of multiple inbound signaling links in a CDMA dispatch call occurs as a background process while beginning the voice communications immediately.

A controller (120), in response to receiving a request for a group call (201) targeting a group (101), allocates at least one power adjustment channel to the group call (202) and sends identification of the at least one power adjustment channel to at least some of the subscriber units in the group (203). Using the at least one power adjustment channel, the controller also sends unique power adjustment information to each of the at least some subscriber units (204). Unique power adjustment channel access information is also sent to the subscriber units so that each subscriber unit can receive its own unique power adjustment information (503) and adjust its inbound transmission power (504) in response. In this manner, efficient reverse power control is provided for multiple subscriber units thereby facilitating group calls in CDMA systems.

To address the need for an apparatus and method for CDMA-dispatch soft handoff, the present invention provides soft handoff to mobile stations (MSs) (120–123) in a dispatch call by sharing soft handoff information with all the MSs in the call at a base site (111). When a first MS (e.g., 120) needs to soft handoff, the identity of a soft handoff channel (135) at an adjacent base site (112) is shared with all the MSs. Thus, subsequent MSs (e.g. 122) that need to soft handoff to that adjacent base site may do so without requesting a soft handoff.

To address the need for an apparatus and method for CDMA-dispatch soft handoff, the present invention enables mobile-initiated soft handoff for dispatch calls. A mobile station (120) in a dispatch call establishes an individual inbound link (137) with the serving base site (111). When the mobile station determines that a handoff with an adjacent site (112) is needed, the mobile station uses its individual inbound link to request a soft handoff with the adjacent base site. After notifying the adjacent base site, the serving base site then transmits the handoff information to the mobile station to enable the mobile station to begin a soft handoff with the adjacent site.
摘要:
Within a transmitter (101), a quantity of data (201) to be transmitted is parsed into variable length, uniquely identified messages (202), which are in turn parsed into fixed-length, uniquely identified blocks (207-211). Messages are buffered and then transmitted to a receiver (103). Upon reception of a message-received communication by the transmitter (101) corresponding to a particular buffered message, that particular message is unbuffered. Upon reception of a message-partially-received communication by the transmitter (101) corresponding to a particular buffered message, those blocks corresponding to portions of the particular buffered message that were not adequately received (703) are retransmitted.
摘要:
A method for preventing co-channel operation with a radar system includes the steps of setting a state of a first communication channel to active, connecting to a first wireless access point on the first communication channel, passively scanning at least a second communication channel for communication from a second wireless access point, setting a state of the second channel to active if frames are received on the second channel, determining whether an elapsed time since frames were received on at least one of the first channel and the second channel has exceed a predefined value, and in response to the predefined value being exceeded for at least one of the first channel and the second channel, setting the state of a corresponding one of the first channel and the second channel to passive.
