Abstract:
In a wireless communication system with an air interface comprised of a plurality of bursts, a communication device (102) receives a burst (200). The burst (200) comprises payload (206, 208), a first indicator (202) and a second indicator (204). Upon receipt of the burst (200), the communication device (102) determines a value of the first indicator (202) to determine whether end-to-end encryption is applied to at least a portion of the payload, and determines a value of the second indicator (204) to determine whether air interface encryption is applied to at least a portion of the payload.
Abstract:
A transmission capability of a mobile station that requests to be affiliated with a talk group is received. It is then determined whether to alter a current transmission mode of the talk group based at least in part upon the transmission capability of the mobile station, the current transmission mode of the talk group, and the transmission mode of one or more radio frequency (RF) sites associated with the talk group.
Abstract:
In a time division multiple access system, a subscriber listens to an assigned channel ( 300 ) and an alternate channel ( 302 ) until a location of reverse channel signaling is determined for the assigned channel. The subscriber also obtains a fixed periodic rate ( 304 ) for the reverse channel signaling. Based on the fixed periodic rate, the subscriber selectively listens to the alternate channel to receive reverse channel signaling while transmitting information on the assigned channel. The base repeater, however, selects the fixed periodic rate for reverse channel signaling and transmits the reverse channel signaling at the fixed periodic rate to the transmitting subscriber. If the base repeater receives a burst belonging to a superframe and determines that any burst in the superframe will collide with the reverse channel signaling, the base repeater buffers any received burst in the superframe and transmits the buffered bursts at a subsequent time.
Abstract:
Una capacidad de transmisión de una estación móvil que solicita afiliarse a un grupo de conversación, es recibida. Entonces se determina si se altera un módulo de transmisión actual del grupo de conversación con base en, al menos en parte la capacidad de transmisión de la estación móvil, el modo de transmisión actual del grupo de conversación y el modo de transmisión de uno o más sitios de radiofrecuencia (RF) asociados con el grupo de conversación.

Abstract:
Methods are disclosed for providing requested access, network-initiated acce ss and autonomous access to communication resources (101-105) by wireless unit( s) (112, 114), and for controlling the different types of access using access control identifier(s) assigned to the devices. Requested access requires a unit to send a call request (302) to a resource controller (106). The request (302) includes an identification of the unit and an identifier associated with the unit. Netwo rk- initiated access comprises a resource controller or other fixed network equipment sending a page request (502) to the unit which responds with a page response message (504) including the identification of the unit and an identifier. The resource controller (106) determines, based on the identifier. whether a communication resource is available to support the request. Autonomous access comprises the unit (112, 114) receivi ng an advertisement message (402) identifying a communication resource and one or more identifiers associated with the communication resource. The unit determines its eligibility for autonomous access based an the advertisement message.
Abstract:
A subscriber unit (104) listens to a first channel (202), decodes at least a portion of a data unit on the first channel (202), and learns a synchronization between the first channel (202) and a second channel (206/300) based on a micro-slot value. A first base radio (1061) transmits a first plurality of data units on the first channel (202). A second base radio (1063) transmits a second plurality of data units on the second channel (206/300). The first plurality of micro-slots on the first channel (202) is synchronized with the second plurality of micro-slots or plurality of frame boundaries on the second channel (206/300). The first base radio (1061) transmits a message (406) on the first channel (202) wherein the message comprises at least a micro-slot value used to associate the synchronization between the first channel (202) and the second channel (206/300).
Abstract:
A received synchronization pattern is compared against first and second know n synchronization patterns. If the received pattern is substantially similar t o the first known pattern, the payload is processed as voice; and if the received pattern is substantially similar to the second known pattern, the payload is processed as non-voice. Alternatively, a target synchronization pattern dependent on an operating mode is selected. The received pattern is compared against the target pattern. If the received pattern is substantiall y similar to the target pattern, the payload is processed; otherwise, the burs t is discarded. In yet another alternative, the received pattern is compared against first and second known synchronization patterns having a common length. If the received pattern is substantially similar to the first known pattern, a first operating mode is selected, and if the received pattern is substantially similar to the second known pattern, a second operating mode i s selected.
