  • Method and apparatus for reserving a telephone line in a telepoint communication system
    Patent number: 5633911
    Abstract: A telepoint communication system 100 where the telepoint communication unit (TCU) 125 reserves a communication channel on the communication link 126, where the communication link 126 couples the telepoint base station (TBS) 110 to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 105. Reserving the communication channel is accomplished by communicating information packets 130,133,136,140,143 and 146 between the TCU 125 and the TBS 110. Reserving the communication channel enables the TCU 125 to ensure the reserved communication is available to route incoming calls received on the telepoint communication system 100 to the TCU 125, particularly when an incoming call is expected.

  • Method and apparatus for routing a call to a mobile communication unit in a telepoint communication system
    Patent number: 5509053
    Abstract: A telepoint communication system 100 where the affiliation of communication unit 125 and 130 with telepoint base station 120 and 122 is maintained at a mobility management unit (MMU) 117. When an inbound call for the mobile communication unit 125 and 130 is received on the PSTN 110, the location of the mobile communication unit 125 and 130 is determined from the MMU 117 and a communication channel at the telepoint base station is reserved, and routing information to the reserved communication channel is provided to the PSTN, enabling the mobile communication unit 125 and 130 to receive the inbound call.
