Abstract: Improved timing synchronization and access control techniques for use in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) wireless system or other ty pe of wireless communication system. In accordance with the invention, an uplink synchronization and access control system is provided in which mobile statio ns transmit certain timing and access signals in dedicated intervals in an uplink stream . Access control is illustratively implemented as a two-stage process in which a given mobile first transmits a generic uplink access signal in one of the intervals. If this access is accepted, the base station transmits an access acknowledgment containing initial timing and pow er corrections, along with initial channel assignments on which the mobile can initiate a ca ll set-up process. For re-synchronization, mobiles transmit timing synchronization signals in t he dedicated timing and access intervals. The base station measures the arrival time of t he signals, and sends back appropriate timing corrections. The invention thereby ensures tha t orthogonality between mobiles is maintained.

Abstract: Tone sequences in a frequency hopping arrangement are generated and assign ed by advantageously employing a combination of a sequence generator and a sequence assignor to generate sequences and assign them on a time slot by time slot basis. In a transmitter, the sequence generator and sequence assignor, in combination wi th a user tone assignor are employed to generate and assign tone sequences to a user o n a time slot by time slot basis. In a receiver, the sequence generator and sequence assignor, in combination with a user tone identifier are employed to generate sequences a nd to identify incoming tone sequences to a user on a time slot by time slot basis . Specifically, the sequence assignment in a time slot is such that a prescrib ed plurality of sequences is assigned to a particular user. This partitioning of the tasks facilitates the use of a sequence generator that generates sequences with the desirable properties of interference and frequency diversity and, which, leaves the task of properly assigning these sequences among one or more users to the sequence assignor. The sequen ce assignor functions in such a manner that the interference and frequency diversity properties for the one or more users are preserved, and this is further facilitated by assigning sequences in such a manner that they maximally overlap prior assigned sequences. In one embodiment of the invention, a Latin square based sequence is generated in accordance with a first prescribed process. In a second embodiment of the invention, a Latin cube based sequence is generated in accordance with a second prescribed process. In a third embodiment of the invention, a Latin hypercub e of prescribed dimension based sequence is generated in accordance with a third prescribed process. In still another embodiment of the invention, the principles of the invention are employed to realize frequency band hopping.

Abstract: In a wireless communications system, multicast messages are transported to groups of wireless terminals by employing a common control channel to transmit a multicast paging message indicating that multicast traffic data is to be transmitted to a particular group of wireless terminals. In an embodiment of the invention, the essential information transmitted in the common control channel is the identifier of the group of wireless terminals intended to receive the multicast traffic data and the location of a traffic channel on which the multicast traffic is to be transported in a channel resource which may include a representation of bandwidth and time interval. In accordance with an aspect of the invention, the common control channel is associated with a traffic channel in a prescribed fixed manner. Further, the traffic channel used for the purpose of multicast can be the same traffic channel used for the normal point-to-point transmission of traffic data.

Abstract: Latency in receiving and detecting paging messages at a wireless termin al is reduced by employing a unique "super" paging time slot format. A paging super time slot includes a plurality of prescribed time slots. Each wireless terminal is associated with cyclically recurring super time slots. A super slot is associated with one or more wireless terminals. A base station always select s the first available time slot in a super time slot to transmit a paging message to a wireless terminal that is associated with the super time slot. Each wireless terminal monitors every time slot in the associated super time slot until either detecting reception of its associated paging message or detecting an empty time slot. In another embodiment of the invention, a unique partially overlapping super time slot format is employed in which a super time slot has at least o ne time slot common to its adjacent super time slots. This allows wireless terminals associated with adjacent super time slots to share the common at least one time slot. In turn, this results in balanced traffic loads, smoothed traffic fluctuation and reduced congestion.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system, mobile unit and base station access request and page transmissions are addressed by employing an efficient unified approach for the transmission and detection of both access requests from a mobile unit and pages from a base station. To this end, a mobile unit monitors for access requests and monitors a prescribed resource to detect if a page has been received. Upon detection of an access request, a corresponding request message is generated and transmitting substantially immediately to a base station, thereby minimizing latency in the access process. Concurrently, a base station monitors to determine if a page indication has been received and monitors a prescribed resource to determine if an access reques t message has been received. In this process, the processing of request messages takes precedence over the processing of pages. Upon detecting a received request message a request response message is generated and transmitted substantially immediately to t he mobile unit, thereby also minimizing latency in the access process.

Abstract: In a unique paging time slot format, each of the allocated paging time slots occurs periodically and is split into several prescribed paging time slots including at least one first type paging time slot having a relatively short duration and at least one second type paging time slot having a longer duration. The at least one first type paging time slots is of relatively short duration and transports an indication whether a particular associated wireless terminal was paged. The second type paging time slot is of longer duration than the first type time slot and transports the entire paging message. Specifically, a wireless terminal that is normally in a standby mode only has to enter a monitor mode, i.e., "wake up", to monitor the relatively short first type paging time slot to determine whether it has been paged (502). If it has been paged, the wireless terminal then monitors the longer second type paging time slot to determine if it is transporting a valid paging message for the paged wireless terminal (503). If no valid paged indication is detected in the first type paging time slot or no valid paging message is detected in the second type paging time slot, the wireless terminal returns to the standby mode, i.e., returns to a "sleep" state, and waits for the next periodic occurrence of its assigned paging time slot (503).

Abstract: An unique arrangement including a so-called timing control order and timing control signals is employed to identify whether wireless terminals ar e reachable within a base station cell coverage area in a wireless communications system. To this end, detection of a particular wireless terminal being alive and well, and within the cell coverage area associated with a base station is effected by the base station transmitting a timing control order in a timing control time slot reserved for the particular wireless terminal. If the particular wireless terminal receives the timing control order, it transmits a prescribed timing control message at a prescribed time. If the base station does not receive the timing contro l message, it is an indication that communication with the particular wireless terminal has been lost.
