摘要:
A mobile telephone system multiplexes plural voice traffic channels on a single carrier using a TDMA protocol. The capacity of the mobile telephone system is increased by assigning voice traffic capacity, not on a conversation basis, but on an information burst basis. In order to avoid compromising the voice transmission capacity, control signals (for the allocation and deallocation of both forward and reverse traffic channels) are sent using multiple diversity, i.e. both time and frequency. In addition, to increase the number of available control channels, a control channel comprises a sub-divided portion of an otherwise equivalent voice traffic slot. For reverse allocation requests, which are transmitted over a contention access channel, power diversity is used in addition to time and frequency diversity.

A mobile telephone system multiplexes plural voice traffic channels on a single carrier using a TDMA protocol. The capacity of the mobile telephone system is increased by assigning voice traffic capacity, not on a conversation basis, but on a speech spurt basis. Accordingly, delays of undetermined duration may occur between subsequent information bursts which correspond to the transmission of speech spurts. An adjustment request regarding the power with which the information bursts are transmitted from a transmitting station to a receiving station is generated by detecting an information burst transmission at the receiving station, measuring the time which elapses following the transmission, and comparing the elapsed time with a predetermined threshold value. If the elapsed time exceeds the threshold, a further transmission is requested from the transmitting station notwithstanding the availability of any information to transmit. The power of the transmission received in response to the request is measured and a control message for requesting an adjustment to the transmission power level in response to the measurement is transmitted to the transmitting station.

A multisubscriber unit is disclosed for use of in a digital cellular communication system to communicate with a base transceiver station and eventually to switched telephone network. The multisubscriber unit connects to a plurality of individual subscriber telephones. It includes a plurality of upconverters, modulators, downconverters, demodulators speech compressors, speech decompressors, and voice activity detectors that are assigned to a subscriber telephone upon detection of an off hook signal from the telephone. Preferably, upon the detection of data to be transmitted, to channel allocation is requested from a pool of time division multiple access channels in a digital speech interpolation pool.

A digital cellular communication system in which fixed subscribers and mobile subscribers share base transceiver stations, base station controllers and mobile switching centers to communicate with the switched telephone network. Mobile subscribers communicate using any cellular radio protocol, while the fixed subscribers communicate via a multi-subscriber unit (MSU) using the inventive air interface. The MSU system uses digital speech interpolation to transmit speech spurts between subscribers and the switched telephone network. Preferably, time division multiple access channels in a digital speech interpolation pool are allocated and deallocated on a speech spurt basis.

The radio also includes a modem coupled to the one or more signal formatters for modulating the signals, a frequency converter coupled to the modem for upconverting the signals having been modulated to a radio frequency, and a transceiver unit coupled to the frequency converter for transmitting the signals having been upconverted over a radio communications link.
摘要:
A method and system for handing off an on-going communication from a serving cell to a neighboring cell of a cellular communication system having mobile units with a scanning capability. A dynamic threshold is calculated for effecting the handoff under certain operating criteria. The minimum attenuation level of the mobile unit and the minimum level permitted by a neighboring cell is used in selecting the dynamic threshold.

A method and system for handing off an on-going communication from a serving cell to a neighboring cell of a cellular communication system having scanning receivers associated with each base transceiver station. A dynamic threshold is calculated for effecting the handoff in accordance with various operating conditions. The current mobile minimum attentuation level, (MT) the minimum permissible attenuation level of a serving (MS) cell and a neighboring cell (MN), together with the RF signal strength of the mobile unit at the neighboring cell (RSSI-NBR) and the serving cell (RSSI-SRV) are used in calculating a dynamic threshold (RSSI-THP).
摘要:
A cellular system uses dynamic repartitioning and channel packing to improve capacity without impacting quality. Dynamic repartitioning is employed to convert a carrier which operates, at one time, as an analog carrier to operate, at a later time, as a digital carrier in response to changes in offered traffic. Alternatively, a carrier which, at one time, operates as a digital carrier is converted to operate, at a later time, as an analog carrier in response to changes in offered traffic. Channel packing is used to allocate as many digital channels as possible to as few digital carriers as possible. In a preferred embodiment, both repartitioning and channel packing are implemented in response to call origination or call termination.
