Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a jitter buffer delay while reducing interference to other communication. SOLUTION: A wireless communication system transmits data over a first link from a first mobile station to an infrastructure at a first speaker link power level, and over a second link from the infrastructure to a second MS at a first listener link power level, during a first time period. Each of the first power levels is designed to avoid the need for retransmissions of erroneously received data. Upon expiration of the first time period, data is transmitted over the first and second links at reduced power levels and retransmissions of erroneously received data can be made. Error rate targets may be adjusted after expiration of the first time period. In addition, the power levels and error rate targets may be individually adjusted on a link-by-link basis based on the RF loading of each link or based on error measurement criteria determined for each link.

Abstract:
L'invention concerne un système de radiodiffusion d'émission relayée dans lequel deux signaux (103 et 106) destinés à une radiodiffuison simultanée sont transmis à partir d'un site de source (100) à des sites éloignés (200) discrets les uns par rapport aux autres. Les deux signaux sont traités séparément au niveau des sites éloignés, y compris l'introduction d'une temporisation appropriée (305 et 312), avant d'être combinés pour être radiodiffusés conjointement avec d'autres sites éloignés. On peut aussi prévoir un ou plusieurs sites de contrôle (400) afin de contrôler la cohérence de la réception dans le système et afin de produire des informations de mesure de fonctionnement et permettre la commande automatique de divers paramètres de systèmes d'émission relayée, y compris la temporisation.
Abstract:
To address the need to provide interurban dispatch services, embodiments supporting an interurban dispatch group call service are disclosed. Call control in the controlling network equipment (e.g., 110-131) manages the dispatch service in both the local urban area (101) and the remote urban areas (151). Call flow embodiments that enable this management of group call service across urban area boundaries are described in detail.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for enabling a single communication system (100) to support at least two communication services. For example, one can support both cellular telephone services and trunked dispatch services by sharing some, but not all, of the system infrastructure. Access control gateways (201) and base stations (203) comprise common infrastructure elements, while two separate processors provide control for each service, these being a communication agent processor (104) to support telephone services, and a dispatch call processor (106) to support dispatch call services. These two independent processors each include a data base (303 and 307) that includes information concerning communication units (204-206) operating within the system. During a call set-up sequence, the access control gateway (201) receives a call request from a communication unit via a base station, and passes the request to the appropriate processor, which uses its corresponding database to support the requested service.
Abstract:
A radio communication system (200) employs a method (400) and system (200) for establishing a communication between communication units (212-217) using geographically distributed packet duplicators (203-205). The communication system (200) includes a system controller (201), a plurality of packet duplicators (203-205), a plurality of base sites (207-210), and a plurality of communication units (212-217). The packet duplicators (203-205), which provide interconnectivity between the base sites (207-210), are distributed throughout geographic regions (233-234) of the system (200). When the system controller (201) receives a request to communicate from one communication unit (e.g., 212) in a group of communication units (e.g., 212-215), the system controller (201) selects a packet duplicator (e.g., 203) serving a geographic region (e.g., 233) containing at least one communication unit in the group and uses the selected packet duplicator (203) to establish the group communication.
Abstract:
ANTENNA SAMPLING SYSTEM Each of a plurality of antenna sectors is sequentially coupled to a receiver via an antenna switch. The switch is operated by control logic circuitry which monitors the peak signal levels of the signals received by each sector. Unique circuitry is implemented which prevents the control logic from responding to spurious transient signals processed by the receiver's tuned circuits following each instance of antenna switching.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system that includes an MS that is a member of multiple talkgroups provides for a prioritization of the multiple talkgroups. A database included in the system maintains an MS identifier associated with the MS and maintains multiple talkgroup identifiers in association with the MS identifier, wherein each talkgroup identifier of the multiple talkgroup identifiers corresponds to a talkgroup of the multiple talkgroups. The database further maintains a prioritization associated with at least one talkgroup of the multiple talkgroups. In one embodiment of the invention, the MS may dynamically prioritize the multiple talkgroups to which it belongs. In another embodiment of the present invention, the prioritization may be statically maintained. In still another embodiment of the invention, the system utilizes the maintained prioritizations to determine whether to interrupt the MS when the MS is involved in a multi-party communication session.
