Abstract:
A radio data interface device (201) for facilitating communication of at least one selective call message with at least one messaging subscriber (202, 202', 202''). The radio data interface device comprises a microcontroller (208) including at least one electronic memory (209, 210, 211, 212) and a processor (213), at least one data port (214) coupled to the microcontroller (208) for communicating the at least one selective call message received by a selective call receiver (204) to the microcontroller (208), and a network interface (215) coupled to and controlled by the processor (208). The processor (208) is capable of executing a microcode program, a portion of which functions to maintain a dynamic registry of messaging subscribers in the at least one electronic memory (209, 210, 211, 212). The network interface (215) supports at least one data link transport protocol for communicating at least a portion of the least one selective call message between the radio data interface device (201) and the at least one messaging subscriber (202, 202', 202'').
Abstract:
A technique is used in a wideband wireless communication system (100). In some embodiments available channels are determined (310) and one is selected (315) for assignment to each of a set of communication units based on a relative frequency path loss for each available channel. In some embodiments a communication unit is assigned (505) a channel selected from among available channels and a relative signal loss parameter of the communication unit, such as transmit power, is adjusted (510), based on a relative frequency path loss determined from the channel frequency of the assigned channel. In other embodiments, transmit information is split (705) into a plurality of data streams, each characterized by an associated relative signaling sensitivity, and each data stream is assigned (715) to one of a plurality of the transmit channels, wherein data streams are assigned channels of decreasing channel frequencies in order of decreasing associated relative signaling sensitivities of the data streams.
