Abstract: Techniques for classifying RF channels in a first system (e.g., a Bluetooth system) to mitigate the deleterious effects of interference from a second system (e.g., a WLAN system) are described. One or more metrics (e.g., PER and/or RSSI) are determined for the RF channels. Each RF channel may be classified as good or bad based on the metric(s) for that RF channel. Whether excessive interference is observed on any frequency channel for the second system is determined based on the metric(s) for the RF channels. Excessive interference may be declared if the average PER for RF channels overlapping a frequency channel exceeds a threshold THW or if the number of bad RF channels within the frequency channel exceeds a threshold THC. A set of usable RF channels is formed and includes good RF channels not overlapping any frequency channel with excessive interference.

Abstract: System and method for minimizing data bottlenecks in Low Data Rate Networks (LDRNs) that communicate facsimile transmissions. An LDRN is a facsimile network having a transmission data rate less than the data rate of the FAX machines serviced by the network. The system and method can be implemented in any type of LDRN, including analog and digital wired LDRNs, as well as analog and digital wireless (e.g., cellular) LDRNs. The system and method involve processing the facsimile transmissions in order to make the data rates of the LDRN and the FAX machines compatible, thereby minimizing any potential facsimile data bottlenecks that may occur in the LDRN due to its slower data rate.

Abstract: A method of invoking and canceling voice and data service between a mobile unit and a base station. Using a standard telephone system, the connection for a voice service and a data service is the same. With the introduction of the digital wireless link, the voice connection and the data connection are different. Therefore new dialing commands which indicate the intent of the connection are created. These commands can also be used to designate the intent of the call from a mobile unit capable of data and voice service but not capable of simultaneous voice and data service. They can also be used to invoke simultaneous voice and data services.

Lines of data are transferred by the LDRN only when the amount of data they contain is less than or equal to a line threshold value, which is adjusted according to the amount of data bottleneck experienced by the LDRN.
