Abstract:
An acknowledge back (ack-back) pager (121, 122, ...) is provided for receiving paging signals from a central paging station (110). The pagers (121, 122, ...) in the group of addressed ack-back pagers then simultaneously transmit back to the central station (110) their ack-back data on different frequency sub-bands, a different frequency sub-band being dynamically allocated to each of the pagers (121, 122, ...) in the group. Each ack-back pager (121, 122, ...) determines whether the paging signals received thereby exhibit a signal level less than a predetermined threshold level. If the paging signals received by a particular ack-back pager exhibit a signal level less than such predetermined threshold level, then the pager (121, 122, ...) transmits back to the central station at a first output power level. Otherwise, the pager (121, 122, ...) transmits at a second output power level substantially less than the first output power level.
Abstract:
An acknowledge back (ack-back) pager is provided for use in a paging system (100) including a central station (110) which transmits a group of message signals to a group of ack-back pagers (121, 122, ...) which are addressed as a group. The users of the group of addressed ack-back pagers (121, 122, ...) indicate a response to their respective pagers thus providing ack-back data. The pagers (121, 122, ...) in the group of addressed ack-back pagers then simultaneously transmit back to the central section (110) their ack-back data on different respective frequency sub-bands. To accurately control the ack-back transmit frequency each pager (121, 122, ...) receives and down-converts the FRX signal, selects a frequency sub-band within a predetermined range of frequencies, determines a frequency offset FD corresponding to the selected sub-band, and generates an acknowledge back signal and up-converts such signal to a transmit frequency FTX.

Abstract:
A dual mode communication receiver a receiver for receiving information transmitted in a first and second modulation format on a common channel, a first demodulator for detecting information transmitted in the first modulation format, and a second demodulator, responsive to the information detected in the first modulation format, for detecting information transmitted in the second modulation format. A power conservation circuit is also provided for selectively supplying power to the first and second demodulators for enabling the detecting of the information transmitted in the first modulation format and the second modulation format, respectively.
Abstract:
A modulation scheme (600) useful in a voice paging system in which both of two orthogonal modulation components (500 and 510) are used to carry two halves of a single voice message destined for a receiver, or two separate voice messages for a receiver. The single voice message is transmitted in half the time.

Abstract:
Dispositif de recherche de personnes à rétro-accusé de réception (ack-back) utilisé dans un système de recherche de personnes (100) comprenant une station centrale (110) qui transmet un groupe de signaux de message à un groupe de dispositifs de recherche de personnes à rétro-accusé de réception (121, 122, ...) qui sont adressés en tant que groupe. Les utilisateurs du groupe de dispositifs de recherche de personnes à rétro-accusé de réception adressés (121, 122, ...) indiquent une réponse à leurs dispositifs de recherche de personnes respectifs, produisant ainsi des données de rétro-accusé de réception. Les dispositifs de recherche de personnes (121, 122, ...) du groupe de dispositifs de recherche de personnes à rétro-accusé de réception adressés rétrotransmettent simultanément à la station centrale (110) leurs données de rétro-accusé de réception sur des sous-bandes de fréquence respectives différentes. Pour commander de manière précise la fréquence de transmission à rétro-accusé de réception, chaque dispositif de recherche de personnes (121, 122, ...) reçoit et convertit à la baisse le signal FRX, sélectionne une sous-bande de fréquence dans une plage prédéterminée de fréquence, détermine un décalage de fréquence FD correspondant à la sous-bande sélectionnée, et produit un signal de rétro-accusé de réception et convertit à la hausse un tel signal en une fréquence de transmission FTX.

Abstract:
Récepteur (200) comprenant une commande automatique de la fréquence qui détermine la fréquence d'un signal reçu (408) et qui calcule une erreur de fréquence (410) à partir du signal reçu. L'erreur de fréquence est utilisée pour calculer un facteur de correction dont on se sert pour régler la fréquence (412) d'un oscillateur (308) en réponse à une erreur déterminée.
