Abstract: Multiple microcell base stations are located within a macrocell having a single macrocell base station in an hierarchical architecture, and microcell users (.mu.-users) and macrocell users (M-users) communicate respectively with the .mu.-base and the M-base using the same frequency band, by appropriately (a) selecting the ratio of the radius r of each .mu. cell and the average distance d from the M-base (r and d are measured by the "radio distance", which includes the effects of shadowing), and (b) controlling the power level with which uplink (mobile to base) and downlink (base to mobile) messages are communicated. Typically, .mu.-cell size and location are chosen such that d/r > 10. With respect to uplink communications, the transmit powers of the .mu. -users in a .mu.-cell are controlled so that the total received power at the nearest M-base is equivalent to the received power from C M-users, where C is usually set to unity. As a result, the M-cell basically loses C users worth of capacity, but the total number of users is increased by virtue of the additional .mu.-users. With respect to downlink communications, as long as the microbase and the macrobase are coordinated systems, the .mu.-base transmit power is controlled so that at the point of handoff between a .mu.-base and M-base, the received power at a user from the two bases is equivalent, and the received power at the bases from this user is also equivalent. With this arrangement, the .mu.-base transmit power is increased as r grows and d decreases in order for this balance to occur. Where the M-base and .mu.-base have no knowledge of each other and handoffs are not allowed between the two base types, a family of I/Q short codes which are quasi-orthogonal to the existing short (pilot) codes are generated, and these codes are used to distinguish between the M-base and .mu.-base signals.

Abstract: In a method of effectuating a change in the operation of a portable communication device such as a laptop or palmtop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or a cellular telephone the device can communicate with a remote host or server using one of two or more different communication arrangements. Various signals indicative of the environment in which the device is operating are monitored, to anticipate or predict a change or transition from one communication arrangement to the other. If the change is determined to be both imminent and significant, the operation change is effected substantially simultaneously, by changing parameters in the transport and/or application protocol layer in the device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing system capacity in a mixed-rate wireless communication are disclosed. Improvements are obtained using multiuser detection or antenna array processing techniques or both to explicitly cancel or attenuate only the high power users. Multiuser detection may be combined with antenna array processing to recover capacity appropriated by the high-power users. By mitigating the interference effects of only the high-powered users, the computational burden is manageable. An antenna array algorithm or a multiuser detection algorithm or both, are applied only to n high rate users (n

Abstract: A telecommunications system is arranged to efficiently route digital information from a mobile network to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and vice versa by interposing a packet network between the mobile network and PSTN so that digital information originating from the wireless network at a first data rate may be forwarded over the packet network at that rate and then sent over a direct connection from the packet network to the PSTN at a second data rate expected by the PSTN. In this way the conversion of the digital information from the first to the second data rate is performed only when needed, i.e., at the ATM switch connected to the PSTN.
