Abstract:
A dual watch subscriber unit (SU) in a wireless communication system transmits short data during an active call in response to a request to transmit short data. The SU transmits, via a transceiver at the SU, pending short data on an inbound data channel of an inbound traffic frequency. One of prior to or after transmitting the short data, the SU substantially simultaneously receives: via a first receiver of the transceiver, missed communication media of the active call missed during transmitting of the pending short data on a first outbound channel of a first outbound traffic frequency; and via a second receiver of the transceiver, second communication media of the active call, transmitted prior to or after the missed communication media of the active call, on a second outbound channel of a second outbound traffic frequency. The SU then plays back media from the missed and second communication media.
Abstract:
A process for supporting mobile-site communication with a fixed-site in a wireless communication system wherein the mobile-site includes a controller and a plurality of transceivers is described. The process includes, at a mobile-site, assigning and programming at least one transceiver from the plurality of transceivers to monitor at least one first channel on at least one fixed-site, receiving a message on the at least one first channel identifying a call for one or more subscriber units operable in the mobile-site, assigning a second channel for the call on the mobile-site and informing the one or more subscriber units affected by the call of the assigned second channel of the call, and propagating the call on the assigned second channel to/from the subscriber units affected by the call.
