    Abstract: A method improves the decoding rate and reliability of adjacent cell base stations by expediting the decode process if the signal quality of a traffic channel is within a predetermined range. In particular, adjacent control channels are monitored and decoded at a rapid rate by ignoring the speech traffic channel information. The speech is interrupted (526) and the channel information is decoded (526) when, for example, the bit error rate or frame error rate of the traffic channel (TCH) is deteriorating while another channel has a better signal. The scheduling of speech channel interruptions (522) may also occur when insufficient neighbor cell information is available at the beginning of a call or immediately after handover. The lost speech signal could be recovered (536) using conventional speech extrapolation techniques.

    Abstract: A communication system having a site employing a plurality of communication channels. Each channel is assigned a desired received signal strength threshold. A channel is assigned to a subscriber unit based upon the strength of the signal received at the site and the power control range of the subscriber unit. The selection of a channel may be performed either by the site or the subscriber unit. In an FDMA environment, each separate frequency division channel may be assigned different received signal strength thresholds. In a non-overlapping time interval (TDMA) environment, each separate time division channel may be assigned different received signal strength thresholds. In another embodiment, a combination of FDMA and TDMA environments can be used.

    Abstract: To mitigate the adverse effects of the load imbalance phenomenon prevalent i n spread spectrum, multi-carrier wireless communication systems, the system beneficially employs the use of handoff as a means for balancing the call traffic (commonly referred to as "load") among a plurality of carriers withi n the communication system. The multi-carrier wireless communication system monitors (214) a plurality of metrics corresponding to the loading of each o f the plurality of carriers in the communication system and, based upon the metrics, will handoff (220) call traffic to and between the plurality of carriers, thereby mitigating the adverse effects associated with the load imbalance, in accordance with the invention.

    Abstract: A wireless communication system (200, 300, 400, 500) mitigates the effects o f excess timing delay caused by varying lengths of communication paths. In one general implementation, a transition communication path (206, 323, 329) is used to transfer a time-advanced version of a timing reference signal so tha t the cumulative time delay at a transition cell (209, 325, 331) is reduced. I n another general implementation, the timing reference signal is time-advanced in all communication paths (403-411), and selected communication paths (403- 407) include a time delay means (423-427, 503-507) such that the cumulative time delay at an area (421) near a target coverage area (130) is reduced. By reducing the cumulative time delay at the area (421) near the target coverag e area (130), a hand-off of a communication of a mobile station (128) into the target coverage area (130) can be performed.

    Abstract: An equalization system for equalizing a corrupted signal is disclosed. The equalization system includes a complex matched filter (400) and a maximum likelihood sequence estimator (MLSE) (405) for removing the effects of phase shift, amplitude variations, intersymbol interference, etc. resulting from multi-pathing and noise contributed by the receiver front end. The system estimates a correlation signal C(t) (505) and synchronizes C(t) 505 to maximize its energy as seen on the taps of the complex matched filter (400). Taps having amplitude coefficients below a predetermined threshold are set to zero to produce a modified CIR estimate. The modified CIR estimate which has had the effects of noise virtually eliminated, is then used to construct the complex matched filter (400) and is also used as input to the MLSE (405) to produce a better equalized data signal.

    Abstract: A method of communication handover from a first communication entity (33) to a second communication entity (43) in a communication system (10) where a communication unit (80), communicating with a transceiver (23) associated with the second communication entity, is linked to the first communication entity. The invention provides for establishing a communication link between the communication unit and the second communication entity while maintaining a communication link between the communication unit and the first communication entity. Then, communications are substantially simultaneously transferred to the second communication entity while terminated from the first communication entity.
