Abstract: The satellite radio communication system of this invention provides communication between one or more service centers and an ensemble of fixed and mobile user terminals. One or more earth orbiting satellites are provided with each satellite having transmitter forming a down-link channel which is slow frequency hopped, and a multi-beam antenna system with a single channel per beam to time division multiple broadcast signals to all user terminals covered by each said beam, respectively. Each user terminal includes a transceiver for receiving a down-link channel broadcast from the one of said beams in whose path it lies, and a return link comprised of a dedicated narrow band broadcast channel with slow frequency hopping of down-link channel. There is a fixed set of frequencies through which the frequency hopping is carried out, with the plurality of fixed and mobile user terminals using the same set of frequency hopping frequencies. Mutually synchronized transmissions from each user is such that while the ensemble of users display the same set of frequency hopping frequencies, each user in said ensemble of fixed and mobile user terminals employs a unique frequency at each instant of time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a no outage GPS/AM position finding system wherein a GPS system having a plurality of satellites transmits time and location data over radio frequency signals to enable a mobile GPS receiver station on the ground to determine its position, and a cellular telephone is carried with the mobile GPS receiver, traveling in range of a plurality of conventional ground based amplitude modulated (AM) transmitters for transmitting AM signals. Each mobile GPS receiver station includes phase detection means for simultaneously receiving a predetermined number of the AM signals, and measuring the changes in phase of each of the AM signals as the mobile GPS receiver travels, and deriving therefrom an AM position signal. A reference station for receiving the GPS and AM signals provides correction signals via a cellular telephone network which receives and transmits the correction signals to the mobile GPS receiver station. The last accurate GPS position signal is used for resolving any ambiguities in the AM radio position signal and to accommodate the lack of synchronization in the AM transmitters. The reference station measures the frequency and wavelength variations in the AM signals and conveys same to the mobile GPS receiver station by the cellular telephone. The AM position signal is activated upon detecting outages or blockages in the GPS signals.

Abstract: A mobile unit includes a network receiver, such as a GSM telephone, for communication with a wireless network, and a navigation receiver, such as a global positioning system (GPS) receiver for receiving navigation signals. The navigation receiver includes a vector delay lock loop (VDLL) that receives information concerning the navigation sources, such as satellite data messages, transmitted over a common broadcast channel of the wireless network, and receives navigation signals from the navigation receiver. The VDLL uses the navigation signals received from navigation sources that are not obscured and uses satellite data messages broadcast over the wireless network to track a navigation signal that is received only intermittently due, for example, to the navigation source being obscured from view of the mobile unit.

Abstract: A cellular telephone communication system has at least one base station and a plurality of remote mobile stations in which both base and mobile stations have RF transceivers which communicate with each other using periodically repeated pulse sequence epochs whose time patterns are known at both transmitting and receiving station. Each mobile station transceiver, during normal operation, establishes and maintains synchronization between the start of a received pulse epoch at the mobile station and a subsequent beginning of a responsive transmitted pulse epoch. An agile antenna system is located at the base station and includes at least one scanning antenna spaced a selected distance from a central reference point. The scanning antenna is effectively rotated relative to the central reference point and adapted to receive RF transmissions from a selected mobile station, and a direction or bearing detection processor is connected to antenna systems for detecting from received RF transmissions from the selected mobile station the bearing to the selected mobile station from the base station. The bearing sensing processor is one selected from amplitude sensing, phase sensing or frequency sensing or a combination of these sensing principles. A range measuring processor circuit also at the base station measures the time interval from the start of the base station's transmitted pulse epoch to the start of a pulse epoch subsequently received from the selected mobile station and derives range to the selected mobile station therefrom.

Abstract: A digital audio broadcasting system that is capable of providing a large number of high quality stereophonic channels to mobile receivers in an environment with severe multipath delay and fading. Optimum combination of frequency and time diversity to guarantee robust performance in the mobile channel, with its multipath delay and frequency-selective fading effects. The system is based upon a dynamic single channel per carrier assignment of each stereo channel to many carriers. Intersymbol interference degradations caused by multipath delay are mitigated via an adaptive equalizer in the receiver. This dynamic single channel per carrier system preserves the simplicity inherent in the single channel per carrier assignment while it incorporates the ability to address frequency-selective fading by providing substantial frequency diversity. The frequency diversity is achieved via a slow frequency hop implementation in which the assignment of a number of stereo channels to an equal number of carrier frequencies is changed periodically. The system offers the simplicity of single channel per carrier assignment of stereo channels while it achieves the powerful performance benefits of frequency diversity and adaptive equalization for the mobile channel.
