Abstract:
A method and apparatus for selecting a communication system in accordance with the geographic region in which the subscriber station is located is described. Upon successful acquisition, a system determination processor examines the received system identification information and compares it with system identification information stored in a universal system table to determine the geographical region of the identified communication system. The system determination processor then determines whether the acquired system is the most desirable system for use in the geographical region. If it is the most desirable system for use in the geographical region, the system determination processor selects the acquired system for providing service. If it is not the most desirable system for use in the geographical region, the subscriber station attempts to acquire a more desirable system using information from the universal system table.
Abstract:
The present invention is a novel and improved method for providing broadcast short message services (SMS) in a communication network. It is an objective of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus that insures the successful transmission of the broadcast message while minimizing the impact of providing the short messaging service on overall system capacity. Messages to be broadcast to a group of users are provided by broadcast page generator (20), to a braoadcast message buffer (24). The timing of the the message transmissions is controlled by a page transmit controller (34), and the message is modulated on to an appropriate channel by modulator (26).
Abstract:
La invención se refiere a un aparato y a un método para seleccionar y suministrar en un sistema de comunicación en una estación de abonadomultimodo. Comunicaciones tanto en entornos de acceso múltiple por división de código como modos análogos. La estación de abonado comprende un elemento demodulación y demodulación y procesamiento análogo y un elemento de modulación y demodulación y procesamiento CDMA y un elemento de determinación de sistema.El elemento de determinación de sistema examina los parámetros de salida suministrados por el elemento de comunicación salido y determina el próximosistema sobre el cual intentar adquisición de acuerdo con una tabla de preferencias de sistema, una tabla de canal CDMA y un elemento de memoriano volátil.

Abstract:
In a receiver having a plurality of demodulation elements, a method of assigning the plurality of demodulation element so a set of available signals. A first method emphasizes diversity of transmitting devices so that power control is optimal. A second method emphasizes the maximum signal strength available to produce aggregate maximum signal strength. Both methods control the number of reassignments so that excessive data is not lost during the reassignment process. The apparatus comprises the plurality of demodulation elements, at least one searcher element, and a controller.
Abstract:
A system for facilitating the acquisition of a most desirable wireless service for a wireless phone. The system includes a scanning mechanism (83) for a periodically scanning for a signal indicative of a wireless service having a coverage area that overlaps one or more coverage areas of other wireless services. A service aquisition mechanism (87) acquires the wireless service or one of the other wireless services based on predetermined selection criteria and the signal. More specifically, the present invention includes a wireless phone (26) having a first mechanism (85) for determining if a detected system, i.e., service is associated with a coverage area that overlaps one or more coverage areas of different systems. A second mechanism (84) compares the different systems to the detected system and selects a preferred system based on the comparison. A third mechanism (87) acquires the preferred system. In the specific embodiment, the wireless phone includes a computer that runs software for implementing the first, second, and third mechanisms.
