    摘要: A radio frequency communications system (100) includes wireless terminals (102) and base sites (104). The wireless terminals communicate with the base sites over a radio frequency channel (106). The base sites are interconnected to each other and other network elements via a packet network. The communication system has a radio frequency channel (400) with time slots (406, 408) for transmission of both delay-sensitive data, such as streaming audio and video, and non-delay-sensitive data. A method and apparatus are provided for determining whether a time slot in the radio frequency channel is to be allocated to delay-sensitive data or non-delay-sensitive data (704, 706, 708). Each packet of data transmitted over the wireless channel has a type of service field (900). The type of service field has a precedence or priority value (902) and a service type (904). The priority values are used to determine which packet should be transmitted across the radio frequency channel next and the service type determines the transmission protocol.

    摘要: Communication units are provided access to a communication system (100) in the following manner. A base station (202) receives, from a requesting communication unit, a request, via a shared inbound communication resource (209), for an available message path (207). When a dual-mode outbound communication resource is operating in a control mode (205), the message path (207), having a first inbound communication resource (204) and the dual-mode outbound communication resource operating in a partial control mode (206), is assigned to the requesting communication unit. Thus, the shared inbound communication resource is consistently available, providing access to the communication system.

    摘要: A scalable slot format defining positions of synchronization symbols, pilot symbols and data symbols for various numbers of sub-channels and various lengths of time in a multi-carrier communication system. An initial pattern (500) and one or more follow-on patterns (600, 700) are defined identifying positions of data symbols, synchronization symbols and pilot symbols for a first number of sub-channels corresponding to a first bandwidth. An extended pattern is constructed from the one or more follow-on patterns. The extension pattern is appended to the initial pattern to form a base pattern (810, 910, 1010). The base pattern (810, 910, 1010) is replicated zero or more times to form an expanded pattern (812, 910, 1015) identifying positions of data symbols, synchronization symbols and pilot symbols for an expanded number of sub-channels corresponding to a second bandwidth. The slot format may be implemented by a transmitter (100) having subdivided an original information signal into M bit streams and having encoded each of the M bit streams to 16QAM symbols to form M symbol streams, by inserting synchronization and pilot symbols into each of the M symbol streams at positions determined by the expanded pattern.

    摘要: An APCO 25 radio communication system 200 includes a repeater 101 arranged to receive signals from an inbound repeater link 103, thereby forming received signals. The repeater 101 is arranged to forward the received signals to a subscriber 121 via an outbound radio frequency path 113. The received signals include two types of packets, namely, packets 105 with correctable errors 107, and "erasure packets"109 with detectable-but-uncorrectable errors 111. The inbound repeater link is equipped with error correcting means 110 for correcting the correctable errors 107. The inbound repeater link is also equipped with error mitigating means 130 for mitigating the detectable-but-uncorrectable errors 111. The error mitigation is performed in accordance with the improved multi-band excitation ("IMBE") process.

    摘要: In a modulator (300), a symbol weight determiner (301) determines a scaling factor (310) for at least one symbol (308). An integrator (303) and a complex symbol generator (305) operate to produce at least one complex symbol (314) based on the at least one symbol. The scaling factor (310) is used to scale the at least one complex symbol. In one embodiment, a scaler (307) comprises a gain-modifiable amplifier (609) and, in a second embodiment, the scaler comprises a gain-modifiable filter (809). When such a modulator is incorporated into an RF communication device (600, 800), the energy used to transmit any given symbol can be varied according to the relative importance of that symbol. Additionally, the overall received sensitivity of a communication, at a given signal strength, can be improved.

    摘要: Delayed symbols (204), including a current symbol (205), are compared by a comparator (206) with at least one predetermined pattern when the current symbol is equivalent to one of a set of predetermined values. Alternatively, a sign of the current symbol is compared with signs of a previous and a subsequent symbol when the current symbol is equivalent to one of the set of predetermined values. When the current symbol is equivalent to one of the set of predetermined values and when either the delayed symbols are equivalent to one of the at least one predetermined pattern or the sign of the current symbol matches the signs of the previous and subsequent symbols, a symbol corrector (208) applies a predetermined function to the current symbol to produce a received symbol (210).

    摘要: A method for managing floor control in a network is disclosed. The method includes beginning a ballot timer when at least one of a) a first node packet is created at the node and b) a second node packet is received at the node from a second node. The first node packet comprises a first timestamp and the second node packet comprises a second timestamp. The ballot timer runs for a first predefined time interval. The method further includes determining a floor holder upon expiration of the first predefined time interval based upon an earliest time of the first timestamp and the second timestamp. Further, the node and the second node have a same absolute timing reference.
