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 are 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 whitin the cell coverage area associated with a base station if effected by the base station transmitting a timing control order (601) 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 control message, it is an indication that communication with the particular wireless terminal has been lost.

Abstract: Uplink traffic channel allocation is realized by utilizing a dedicated control channel in which a prescribed portion of the control channel resource, for example, frequency, time slot or the like, is reserved for transporting the uplink traffic channel requests. Both the base station and the particular mobile unit know the prescribed portion of the control channel resource a priori. Consequently, when the particular mobile unit transmits an uplink traffic channel request via the prescribed portion of the control channel resource there is no need for adding any control header information, thereby minimizing overhead. Furthermore, the length of the uplink traffic channel requests can be optimally chosen without constraints imposed by other control message schemes. Reduced overhead coupled with the prescribed portion of the control channel resource arriving quite frequently reduces latency in the particular mobile unit acquiring an uplink traffic channel. In one example, delivery of adequate uplink traffic channel request information to the base station, while minimizing the adverse impact of losing requests, is ensured by persistently transmitting the requests. Specifically, after the mobile unit transmits a first request, it transmits a second or even a third request instead of waiting to receive a response message from the base station and/or waiting for a timer to time out. By the mobile unit using such a persistent request transmission scheme, the base station can readily determine the true value of the received request by eliminating the transmission loop delay effect, thereby allowing a sensible assignment decision to be made.

Abstract: Access request transmissions are effected in a wireless communications system by assigning each mobile unit a unique dedicated uplink resource. Specifically, each mobile unit is assigned channel segments with distinct time slot indices and/or waveform indices, where waveforms with distinct indices are orthogonal. A base station can identify the mobile that has made an access request from the dedicated uplink resource. Therefore, no mobile identification number is needed in the uplink request message. Then, the base station can transmit a request response message on a shared downlink resource that may include the identification number of the requesting mobile unit to acknowledge reception of the request. The mobile unit may transmit on a shared uplink resource an acknowledgment of reception of the downlink request response message.

Abstract: An uplink synchronization and access control system is provided, in which mobile stations 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, which contains initial timing and power corrections, along with initial channel assignments, on which the mobile can initiate a call set-up process. For re-synchronization, mobiles transmit timing synchronization signals in the dedicated timing and access intervals. The base station measures the arrival time of the signals, and sends back appropriate timing corrections. The invention thereby ensures that orthogonality between mobiles is maintained.

Abstract: In a wireless communications system, multicast messages are transported to groups of wireless terminals by employing a common control channel to transm it 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, t he essential information transmitted in the common control channel is the identifier of t he 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 terminal 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 selects 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 one 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.
