Abstract: A user selects (402) a first communication device (122) from a plurality of terminal devices capable of supporting differing sets of communication features. The user then conveys (404) a user identity to the first communication device. The first communication device then conveys (406) the user identity and a device description describing the first communication device and the communication features supported by the first communication device to a bearer service (116) through which the first communication device communicates. The bearer service then conveys (408) the user identity and the device description, along with a bearer description describing characteristics of the bearer service, to a registry controller (112). Thereafter, the registry controller provides (418) communications to the user in accordance with the user identity, the device description, and the bearer description.

Abstract: In a method for managing resources in a base station in a code division multiple access cellular communication, a resource shortage of a selected resource in a first base station is detected. Next, a subscriber unit having a communication link with the first base station is selected. Thereafter, a handoff direction message is sent to the selected subscriber unit to cause a second base station to contribute the selected resource, wherein the resource shortage in the first base station is alleviated. Resources that may experience shortages in the first base station include transmit power and available user spreading codes.

Abstract: A method for determining a subscriber unit location in a communication system is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving a signal from the subscriber unit at a first base station, determining a first receive time of the signal based on a sequence of spreading symbols at the first base station, determining a first angle of arrival of the signal at the first base station, and determining the location of the subscriber unit from the first receive time, the first angle of arrival, and further predetermined information about the first base station. The signal is formed via modulation by the sequence of spreading symbols.

Abstract: A method for assigning subscribers between narrowbeam sectors (201-208) includes, in a first embodiment, off-loading subscribers to alternate sectors when a current sector becomes loaded beyond a loading threshold. The subscriber(s) having the greatest signal quality measure (e.g. power setting) are preferably selected for off-loading, since such are typically in regions having the greatest overlap with other sectors (e.g. close to the antennas). The selected subscriber(s) are transferred to an alternate sector, preferably one having the best received signal quality with the subscriber and also having loading beneath the loading threshold.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the location of a communication unit in a CDMA system includes in a first embodiment, sending a location request via a spread spectrum signal to the subscriber (140), and receiving in return a subscriber signal including a response message showing a receive time of a particular symbol of the base's spreading sequence and a transmit time of a particular symbol of the subscriber's spreading sequence. The base (130), along with other receiving base(s) (140), also receives a predetermined symbol of the subscriber spreading sequence, and each determines a respective receive time of the predetermined symbol. The received information is then processed, along with known base location and delay information, to determine the subscriber location. If insufficient number of bases are capable of communicating with the subscriber, for example due to high loading/interference, auxiliary bases (121) are also provided for receiving from or transmitting to the subscriber.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication system planning includes, in a first embodiment, determining an image tree (500), based on a transmitter location (401) and the reflective (415) and diffractive (425) surfaces within a coverage region, and limiting the image tree to exclude branching for higher order images requiring more than a predetermined number of reflections and/or diffractions, or potential child images corresponding to surfaces not within the scope of the parent image (530, 560). Based on the image tree and propagation path back-tracing (620) a received signal quality measure (e.g., power) is determined for each receive location. By comparing the different received signal powers an optimal receiver unit location is determined. Further, by building further image trees for further transmitter locations, an overall coverage quality can be determined for each transmitter and compared to yield an optimal transmitter location.
