Abstract:
The present invention concerns the efficient use of the radio spectrum in wireless communications. Channel occupancy data and channel availability data concerning a specific base station and its neighbors are used to assign frequency channels to mobile units and/or base stations. The channel occupancy and availability data may be located at a base station or at a mobile switching center. Channels are preferably assigned as channel pairs.
Abstract:
A multi-code code division multiple access system allows a user at a radio transmitter unit to dynamically change its source data bit rate. In response to a user input selecting one of said plurality of source bit rates, an adjustable coding means in the transmitter spreads and transmits the user's digital bit stream received at the selected bit rate to a channel bit rate which at least equals the highest bit rate of said plurality of source bit rates. The plurality of source bit rates includes a basic bit rate R and at least one bit rate which is a multiple M of the basic bit rate R, where M is an integer of at least 1. The user's input selects a particular user source bit rate by identifying a basic bit rate multiple M to a base station that is to receive the transmission.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of CDMA techniques. Data signals to be transmitted from a plurality of wireless devices are spread across a common bandwidth. The data signals are received by a base station as a composite spread signal. The base station partially despreads the composite spread signal with unique codes to extract data signals from individual wireless devices. The data rate and quality of service requirements for each wireless device are used to calculate a power factor and a control signal is sent to control the power from a particular wireless device. In addition, a probability of transmission value is calculated based on an equivalent current load value and an equivalent population value. The probability of transmission value determines whether a particular wireless device is allowed access to an uplink frequency channel.

Abstract:
An interference based dynamic channel assignment scheme for a wireless communication network, for self configuring dynamic channel assignment of a plurality of channels, comprises the steps of: prioritizing a channel list and prioritizing a selected subset of the prioritized channel list. In further enhancements of the present invention, prioritizing a channel list is distributed on a per cell/sector basis so that prioritization is independent of frequency usage information from other cells/sectors and prioritization is based upon uplink and downlink characteristics.
Abstract:
A Multi-Code (MC) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) receiver receives N (where N>1) encoded signal channels over multiple air signal paths. In the MC-CDMA receiver, once a timing correlator means has recovered the timing and control signals for the data signal received over any particular signal path, those timing and control signals are utilized by each of the N data (second type) correlator means for decoding and despreading an associated one of the N data signal channels received over that path.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus providing communications between mobile units and other communications devices, is disclosed wherein, in response to a request to call a mobile unit from an originating communications device, a paging signal is sent via a global communications network and received by a mobile unit. The paging signal contains caller and callee identification codes, which are decoded by the mobile unit. A paging response signal, in the form of a reverse call setup signal, is then transmitted from the mobile unit to the originating communications device. Transmission of the paging signal is preferably stopped when a correspondence condition exists such that the caller and callee identification codes of the paging signal correspond to the caller and caller identification codes of the paging response signal.
