    摘要: A portable subscriber unit (122) provides (402) communications for a user, and monitors (404) a parameter indicative of communication quality during the communications. The portable subscriber unit compares (406) the parameter with a predetermined threshold; and when the communication quality deteriorates (408) such that the parameter reaches the predetermined threshold, the portable subscriber unit determines (412) geographic coordinates corresponding to the location at which the communication difficulty occurred, and adds (414) a communication difficulty report identifying the parameter and the geographic coordinates to a record of communication difficulty reports stored in the portable subscriber unit. When the portable subscriber unit receives (502) a request for the record of communication difficulty reports from a fixed portion (102) of a two-way wireless communication system, the portable subscriber unit communicates (504) the record of communication difficulty reports to the fixed portion.

    摘要: A wireless messaging unit (122) determines (704) that a first channel (402), which utilizes a first plurality of time slots for transmission, does not have a signal suitable for acquiring synchronization; and, in response, attempts (706) to acquire an initial synchronization with a second channel (404) which periodically transmits a synchronization signal (406) in a second plurality of time slots having a predetermined timing relationship with the first plurality of time slots. After acquiring the initial synchronization, the wireless messaging unit applies (708) the predetermined timing relationship to the initial synchronization to establish a secondary synchronization with the first channel.

    摘要: Sub-areas (506) within a coverage area of a wireless communication system are defined (702), and transmitters (502, 504) are positioned within the sub-areas. A memory (212, 314), in at least one of a subscriber unit (122) and a controller (112) of the system, is programmed (706) with unique transmitter identifiers (414) and corresponding transmitter locations; and a locator signal (406) is periodically transmitted (708) from the sub-areas during time slots (408) coordinated such that, within a sub-area, no more than one transmitter transmits during each time slot. The locator signal includes one of the unique transmitter identifiers for identifying the transmitter sending the locator signal. The subscriber unit monitors (710) the locator signal to determine propagation delays between the subscriber unit and the transmitters received; and one of the subscriber unit and the controller estimates (712) the location of the subscriber unit from the propagation delays and the transmitter locations corresponding to the unique transmitter identifiers received.

    摘要: A controller (112) defines (402) a channel pattern specifying a network destination for inbound channel traffic, a subscriber unit address group to which the channel pattern applies, and a predetermined time interval during which the channel pattern is to be active. The controller transmits (406) the channel pattern to a processor (310) which processes received inbound traffic. The processor then manages (412) the inbound traffic in accordance with the channel pattern.

    摘要: A plurality of wireless transceivers (114) for communicating messages to SCRs (Selective Call Radios) (116) include a radio transceiver (402, 404, 406, 408), and a processing system (412) coupled thereto. A periodic communication cycle (FIG. 9) is divided into a plurality of time slots, each time slot having a duration equal to or greater than the predetermined propagation delay of a signal transmitted between wireless transceivers. Each of the wireless transceivers is assigned to a corresponding one of the time slots. To transmit a message from a selected one of the wireless transceivers to a targeted SCR, the processing system of each of the wireless transceivers is adapted to locate the targeted SCR. Once the targeted SCR is located, the processing system of the wireless transceiver co-located with the targeted SCR is adapted to enable the radio transceiver to monitor transmission energy in the communication medium during a time slot immediately preceding the time slot assigned to said wireless transceiver. If the energy measured is below a predetermined threshold, the processor is adapted to cause the radio transceiver to transmit at least a portion of the message to the targeted transceiver beginning at the time slot assigned to said wireless transceiver.

    摘要: A test system is provided to test both voice and video quality of the connection for a large number of mobile phones, tablets, laptops or other user transmit/receive devices from a central location. The quality can be expressed as a Mean Opinion Score (MOS) and the uplink and downlink connection quality can be separately estimated. The system allows the use of media fragments that are characteristic of an end user and allows video data to be measured at the time and location that the user typically makes calls.
