摘要:
A fixed system receiver (107) operates in a synchronization mode which is one of a synchronous mode and an asynchronous mode. A system controller (102) transmits a response command which includes a preamble indicator corresponding to the synchronization mode of the fixed system receiver (107). A selective call radio (106) receives and decodes the preamble indicator and generates a response message data unit (312). The synchronous header data packet (660) is preceded by a synchronizing packet (650) when the preamble indicator indicates the asynchronous mode and is not preceded by the synchronizing packet (650) when the preamble indicator indicates the synchronous mode. The selective call radio (106) transmits the response message data unit (312). The fixed system receiver (107) acquires symbol recovery timing and synchronizes to data packet boundaries of the response message data unit (312), using the synchronizing packet (650) when included.

A method and apparatus minimize false detection of packet data in a receiver (202) due to noise in a communication system (100) utilizing time slots (420). Some time slots (420) contain a data packet (418), while others contain only noise. The data packet (418) includes a sync word (602) and an error-detecting code word (604, 606, 608). The receiver (202) is synchronized (1006, 1008) with a nominal predetermined timing of the time slots (420), and determines (1014) time windows (808) for receiving the data packets (418). During each of the time windows (808) data is received, demodulated, and stored (1016), and a predetermined portion of the data stored is searched (1018) to locate a point of maximum correlation between the data and a data template (902) matching the sync word (602). The data packet (418) is decoded (1020) by utilizing the point of maximum correlation as a reference, and the code word (604, 606, 608) of the data packet (418) is examined (1022, 1024) to determine whether the data packet (418) is valid or invalid.

A wireless communication system includes a pager or similar device that communicates to a home terminal. The home terminal confirms the identity of the pager and attaches a certificate to the message for ongoing transmission. Where the recipient is also a pager, an associated home terminal verifies the transmission and forwards it in a trusted manner without the certificate to the recipient.
摘要:
A base station for processing a received and stored spread spectrum signal determines the signal strengths of a first plurality of signals included in the stored spread spectrum signal. The strongest signal of the first plurality is subtracted from the stored signal such that the stored signal is replaced in the memory by a modified spread spectrum signal including a second plurality of signals. The base station determines signal strengths of the second plurality of signals, then subtracts the strongest of the second plurality from the modified spread spectrum signal.

A method is provided for background scanning in a selective call communication system (102) having a plurality of channels (110, 112, 114), wherein a selective call device (104) has designated thereto one of an odd and even frame compulsory decoding schedule. The selective call device (104) decodes system configuration information (SCI) on odd SCI frames during the odd compulsory decoding schedule, scans for even SCI frames of target channels while maintaining the odd compulsory decoding schedule, and releases or maintains the odd compulsory decoding schedule based on the system configuration information found on the target channels.

A two-way wireless selective call communication system (20) using a synchronous time division multiplex communication protocol transmits messages divided into a plurality of data units (120, 126, and 128) from a plurality of selective call transceivers (32) to a paging terminal (33) during time slots (78), the number of data units and the time slots are set by the paging terminal controller (26) based on information, including size of the message information, received in an unscheduled transmission from each of the plurality of selective call transceivers. The paging terminal transmits to a selective call transceiver a multi-bit acknowledgment message having a one-bit acknowledgment for each of the plurality of data units. A selective call transceiver re-transmits data units not recovered by the terminal based upon content of the acknowledgment message. More than one selective call transceiver transmit during a one time slot set by the terminal.
摘要:
A selective call receiver (106) has a frequency synthesizer (708) for scanning a plurality of frequencies to determine a control channel to receive a signal and a receiver (704) for receiving the signal representative of an available frequency associated with a geographic region. The signal includes a channel identifier (404), a frequency assignment (406) and an active channel indicator (408). A processor (712) associates the channel identifier (404) with the frequency assignment (406) in response to the active channel indicator (408) indicating an available frequency of the geographic region and a memory (720) stores channel identifiers (404) associated with frequency assignments (406) designating available frequencies (408). The receiver (704) receives an address (333) and the channel identifier (404) on the control channel, a decoder (714) decodes the channel identifier (404) associated with the frequency assignment (406) to determine the available frequency where a message will be transmitted and the frequency synthesizer (708) switches to the available frequency indicated by the channel identifier (404) for receiving the message.

摘要:
A communication system (100) providing minimum transmission delay for message delivery to communication transceivers (510) includes a plurality of transmission cells (102, 104) which include one or more receivers (512) and a transmitter (506) and which define geographical transmission areas. The transmitter (506) transmits an address identifying the communication transceiver (510) for which a message is intended and a color code identifying the transmitter (506) during a first scheduled transmission time interval (212). At least one receiver (512) located within the transmission cells (102, 104) receives an acknowledgment including the address and color code generated by the communication transceiver (510) during a second scheduled transmission time interval (216). The transmitter (506) identified by the color code transmits the address and message during a scheduled message transmission frame (110) designated by the color code during a third time interval, during which time the address and message are received by the communication transceiver (510).
