Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a radio communications device capable of handing over a call established by one network to another network without renouncing the call. SOLUTION: A radio communications device is arranged to communicate time divided signals over first and second time discontinuous systems having first and second frame structures respectively. In such a radio communications device, a multi-mode block 120 switches between communicating signals 60 over a first network 40 during time periods of the first frame structure and communicating signals 70 over a second network 50 during time periods of the second frame structure. Hence over a given period of time, the device simultaneously communicates time divided signals over the first and second networks. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system, a chip time is selected in a complex pseudonoise (PN) sequence generator. For a next chip time following the selected chip time, a phase difference between a previous complex PN chip and a next complex PN chip is restricted to a preselected phase angle. In one embodiment, every other chip time is selected and the preselected angle is 90 degrees.
Abstract:
A transmitter for a communication system transmits consecutive chips of a signal shifted in phase +/- 90 degrees +/- an angle between 0 degrees and 45 degrees which is a function of a spreading gain.
Abstract:
In a method for wireless data communication between a transmitter and a receiver in a wireless communication system, groups of symbols of an input data stream are commutated (24) to produce a plurality of commutated data streams. The plurality of commutated data streams are then transformed to produce a plurality of transformed data streams. Next, each transformed data stream is spread (26, 28) with a selected one of a plurality of spreading codes to produce a plurality of antenna signals. Finally, each of the plurality of antenna signals is transmitted using a selected one of a plurality of spaced apart antennas (34, 36), wherein the plurality of spaced apart antennas (34, 36) are spaced apart to provide transmit diversity. In one embodiment, the transform is a space-time transform.

In a wireless communication system, a chip time is selected in a complex pseudonoise (PN) sequence generator (130, 132). For a next chip time following the selected chip time, a phase difference between a previous complex PN chip and a next complex PN chip is restricted to a preselected phase angle (204). In one embodiment, every other chip time is selected and the preselected angle is 90 degrees (216, 218).

Abstract:
A communications system provides a resource e.g. a special service to a terminal. A system controller 10 sends to the terminal 100 a definition of resource functions which define the resource. A microprocessor within the terminal constructs a set of resource functions from the definition by association with known terminal parameters and pre-programmed terminal-resident functions and the set of resource functions are stored in a memory of the terminal such that the terminal is able to execute the resource.
