摘要:
A method, a system and a receiver device provide timing and frequency correction in a spatial division multiple access (SDMA) system. A timing and frequency correction (TFC) logic/utility obtains a timing error estimate by using pilot symbols on a slot of six tiles. The TFC logic estimates the timing error based on pilot phase differences between unique pairs of tiles when the frequency separation of the tiles is less than a threshold value. When none of the unique pairs of tiles satisfies the threshold value, the TFC logic estimates timing error based on an exhaustive search for each candidate phase error value. The TFC logic performs timing error correction via a timing error estimate based on pilots from the symbols received on each antenna. The TFC logic performs inexplicit frequency error correction according to phase differences based on relative symbol indices.

A method for preventing co-channel operation with a radar system includes the steps of setting a state of a first communication channel to active, connecting to a first wireless access point on the first communication channel, passively scanning at least a second communication channel for communication from a second wireless access point, setting a state of the second channel to active if frames are received on the second channel, determining whether an elapsed time since frames were received on at least one of the first channel and the second channel has exceed a predefined value, and in response to the predefined value being exceeded for at least one of the first channel and the second channel, setting the state of a corresponding one of the first channel and the second channel to passive.

The application provides an enhanced passive scanning method for a wireless local area network, including the steps of receiving (405) at least one of a beacon signal (342, 348) or a gratuitous probe response (344), updating (435) a site timing table entry in a site timing table based on the received beacon signal (342, 348) or gratuitous probe response (344), setting (445) a scan start time based on entries in the updated site timing table, and determining (450) a power mode for a wireless communication device based on the scan start time. An enhanced passive scanning system (200, 500, 600) and computer usable medium for enhanced passive scanning is also disclosed.

To address the need for an apparatus and method for quickly establishing a CDMA dispatch call, the present invention provides for paging mobile stations (e.g., 120-123) to inform them of the call and then starting the dispatch call without waiting for page responses from the call participants. The dispatch call is first transmitted by base sites (e.g., 110-112) of all the service coverage areas (e.g., 101-103) that may have call participants, and then discontinued at those base sites where no page responses are received within a period of time. Thus, the dispatch call is established while “call setup” effectively continues.
摘要:
In a wireless communication system (100) having a plurality of communication cells (115, 117), and a plurality of mobile stations (118) operating within selected ones of the multiple communication cells (115, 117), a method and an apparatus for selecting those communication cells (115, 117). Within each communication cell (115, 117), a base station (112) transmits a message directed to the mobile stations (118), and detects a response indicator in the selected ones of the plurality of communication cells (115, 117). The message may be a broadcast page message transmitted by the base station (112). The response indicator may be an impulse radio-frequency energy transmission generated by the plurality of mobile stations (118) operating within the selected ones of the plurality of communication cells (115, 117). The base station (112) may detect the impulse radio-frequency energy transmission on a control channel or during a predetermined time window period (303, 410, 413, 416) following transmission of the message. The base station (112) directs call traffic to the plurality of mobile stations (118) in the selected ones of the plurality of communication cells (115, 117).

A communications system for providing packet data service to mobile stations (110) performs registration of the mobile station prior to engaging in packet data service. The registration procedure includes sending a request to register (300) to a DAP (113), transferring (302) subscriber data from a HLR (124) to a D-VLR (126), authenticating (306) the mobile subscriber, selecting a mobile data gateway (116) to service the mobile station, transferring (308) the subscriber data from the D-VLR to the mobile data gateway, and establishing (312) a packet data link between the mobile data gateway and the mobile station.
摘要:
A quality dispatch service on a CDMA based wireless system. To achieve spectral efficiency and fast access for follow-up calls, in response to a request by a talkgroup member to have a group call established, the non-requesting (listening-only) members are allowed to establish a low-rate (non-voice) signaling link in the reverse direction (inbound) for the limited purpose of (i) providing forward power control information to the fixed infrastructure; (ii) requesting soft hand-off when required; and (iii) maintaining the correct reverse link power control to allow for fast channel access for a follow-on call. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, the establishment of low-rate inbound signaling links occurs prior to beginning the voice communications. Because a low-rate signaling link, as contemplated by the present invention, is a non-voice link which signals at a predetermined rate substantially less than that of a full-rate traffic link, proportionately less average power is required for dispatch communications than would otherwise be the case if full-rate traffic links were provided instead to non-talking talkgroup members. The present solution results in less interference to the CDMA system and thus substantially less impact on overall system capacity.
摘要:
A communications system (100) has a TDMA signal (110) accessed by one or more mobile stations (104). The TDMA signal carries both circuit switched and packet data service. A packet channel is defined within a packet data frame (208) by assigning time slots not used by other services during the packet data frame to the packet channel. A packet data seed channel (204) is used to anchor the packet channel and steer a mobile station to the packet channel. In the packet data seed channel a dynamic allocation protocol (DCAP) slot (206) appears and carries the packet channel slot assignments for the next occurring packet data frame.
摘要:
A method of reliably transmitting signalling tones employs a radio communication unit suitable for encoding (303) data packets. The radio has a processor (101) for processing a first signal, which processing is incompatible for use with signalling tones. The radio further includes an input device (110) for providing signals when asserted. In a preferred embodiment, when the processor (101) is enabled to process the first signal, and a user does not assert the input device (110), the radio transmits the processed first signal. On the other hand, when the processor (101) is enabled, and the user asserts the input device (110), the radio transmits (304) repeated data packets, for the duration of the assertion, which identify a particular signalling tone.
