Abstract: The provisioning process of the present invention first determines the average number of units of the system resource that are held per call. This parameter is a function of the call model and call-related event holding times. The average number of units is used, along with the Busy Hour Call Attempts to determine the holding rate, Rresource, of that particular call-related event to be allocated memory. The holding rate is then used by ┌Rresource +7{square root over (Rresource)}┐ to determine the number of resources required to be allocated to the call-related event.

Abstract: A base transceiver station operating a sectorized cell of a cellular radio system operates a plurality of narrow uplink main receive beams, and one or a plurality of uplink diversity received beams. A scanning means scans each of the uplink main receive beams to locate a communications channel on the main uplink beams. A diversity receiver receives a diverse beam signal from the diverse beam(s), which is compared with a beam signal received from a main uplink beam, and the main beam signal from the main beam, or a diverse beam signal from the diversity antenna is selected, depending on the comparative signal to noise ratio and signal strength of the main beam signal and diversity beam signal.

Abstract: The multi-cell radio system is used in a communication system with at least one exchange (PBX) that has periphery assemblies (SLMC) and/or external radio exchange units (RE 1, RE 2) for the connection of base stations (B). Each mobile terminal equipment (ME) is allocated to exactly one port of a periphery assembly and/or radio exchange unit on the basis of an identification information specific to the terminal equipment. Radio connecting paths to or, respectively, from mobile terminal equipment (ME) can be produced such that, regardless of the location of the terminal equipment, they always ensue with an auxiliary ("extension") connection via the port of the periphery assembly and/or radio exchange unit allocated to it. The periphery assemblies (SLMC) and/or radio exchange units (RE) are configured to package the signaling messages from and to the terminal equipment in user-to-user information of a digital connection.

Abstract: A cordless modem comprises a radio pair interfaced to a standard data/fax modem which allows a user of a personal computer to wirelessly connect to a telephone line. One end of the radio pair is a remote unit interfaced to the modem contained within the PC while the other end is a base unit connected to a standard telephone wall jack. The base unit can selectively discriminate and adjust for signals received from a telephone voice handset or data signals received from the cordless modem remote unit. Upon receiving an off-hook signal or an incoming call signal, the base unit identifies the type of data (i.e., voice or computer modem data) and adapts accordingly by placing an FM modulator in either of a narrow band deviation or a wide band deviation covering the required range of the particular signal combined with local echo. That is, when voice data is present, a low deviation, narrow filter combination is selected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cordlessly connecting a data terminal to a data transmission network using the DECT telecommunications system. In the method of the invention, the portable radio part (PP) and fixed radio part (FP) insert signalling information according to the V.24, for example, in frames complying with the DECT protocol to be radio transmitted via the air interface. When using signalling internal to the data channel it is advantageous to use an auxiliary protocol complying e.g. with the V.110 standard. Local signalling can also be used, in which case the data channel need not be used for signalling during data transmission. The method can also be used to transfer the automatic call setup commands according to the V.25bis standard. The method of the invention facilitates a short-range cordless data connection which is compatible with other DECT applications and which can use advantageous DECT system components.

Abstract: A transmission power control system and method is provided that controls the magnitude of transmission power in proportion to the distance between a base station and a mobile station. The transmission power control system provides the exact transmission power by compensating for an error between a real gain and a gain controlled value according to the magnitude of the transmission power. The transmission power control system can be used, for example, in a mobile phone. The transmission power control system can include a transmission part, a mobile station modem, a power detector, a gain difference controlling part and a power amplifier controlling part. The transmission part outputs a transmission power signal in accordance with input signals. The power detector transforms the transmission power signal into a DC voltage. The mobile station modem outputs a first and second gain control values, respectively, based on the DC voltage.

Abstract: In a satellite communication system, a user terminal (11) seeks response from a selected earth station (7A-E) for a request for service based analysing the signal quality of broadcasts from earth stations (7A-E). Whichever earth station (7A-E) responds calculates which earth station (7A-E) can best meet the request for service. If it is another earth station (7A-E), the user terminal (11) is intructed to redirect the request for service thereto and, once in contact, the user terminal (11) addresses all new requests directly thereto, until the best earth station (7A-E) calculates that there is a better earth station (7A-E), and instructs the user terminal (11) to address all future requests for service thereto.
