摘要:
A method of allowing use of small, low-power communication systems (20) within the coverage area (11) of larger trunked communication systems. A low-power communication system re-uses the same communication resources used by the larger trunked system whenever sufficient distance exists between large system communication units and the low power system so as to avoid interference. Large system communication units may also be constructed to operate in a dual mode format so as to transmit and receive in a low power mode and on re-used resources, whenever near a low power system or to transmit and receive in a high power mode whenever else necessary.
摘要:
A way of allowing small, low-power communication units to reuse trunked system communication resources within the service coverage area of the larger trunked system without experiencing significant interference from the trunked system. The low power units (requestors and targets) avoid interference through spread spectrum transmissions.
摘要:
Shown, herein, is a method of allowing use of small, low-power communication systems within the service coverage area of larger trunked systems. The small, low-power systems are constructed to reuse at least some of the communication resources, also used by the larger system. The large system measures signal strength values of large cell communication units and transfers such values to the small systems. A small system compares the transferred values with a threshold and when the threshold is exceeded, reuses the communication resources under a TDM format within the small system.

Shown, herein, is a method of allowing use of small, low-power communication systems within the service coverage area of larger trunked systems. The small, low-power systems are constructed to reuse at least some of the inbound frequencies of communication resources, also used by the larger system. The large system measures signal strength values of large cell communication units and transfers such values to the small systems. A small system also measures the signal strength and compares the measured and transferred values with thresholds and when the thresholds are exceeded, reuses the communication resources under a TDM format within the small system.
摘要:
A context (112) of a communication received from a user in a vehicle is determined. The context (112) relates to a characteristic associated with the vehicle. An address of the communication is formed based upon the context (112) of the communication received from the user in the vehicle. The communication is transmitted to a recipient using the address.
摘要:
In a mobile communications system, a plurality of base stations may receive the same signal, whereby the "best" reception may be determined. The plurality of received digital signals are combined to form a majority signal. Each of the received digital signals is compared to the majority signal to estimate the bit-error-rate (BER) of each received signal. If the difference between the highest and lowest BER is less than a predetermined threshold, the majority signal is selected for reception. Conversely, if the BER difference is greater than the predetermined threshold, the received digital signal with the lowest BER is selected for reception. Thus, the signal with the lowest BER is selected to provide the best possible communications.

A signal selection system is disclosed wherein a plurality of received signals are analyzed to determine their statistical characteristics. These characteristics are compared to a predetermined statistical distribution. The signal that is statistically closest to the statistical characteristics of a known signal is selected for further processing and reception.

A data detector is disclosed wherein a received signal is analyzed to determine its statistical characteristics. These characteristics are compared to a predetermined statistical distribution. If the signal is statistically close to the statistical characteristics of a known signal a detect signal is generated and the received signal is passed for further processing and reception.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for calculating the travel time of a vehicle as it transits through multiple locations. The method and apparatus includes a device for detecting a radio signal from a vehicle, attaching information to the radio signal, and transmitting a message packet with the signal and attached information to a central server. The central server stores the message packet. The central server compares the information in the message packet against other stored message packets received from multiple locations. When matching information is found, an algorithm is run to compute a vehicle travel time between two locations.
