  • Patent number: 7035205
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system of implementing a signal processing facility in a digital transmission system environment. In the invention, the signal between the switching field (GSW) and the interface unit ETS1 is divided into a first (DEOS, DSOE) and second signal (DGO, DSO). The first signal is directed through the signal processing unit and the second signal past it. Either one of the signals is selected and activated depending on the need of the signal processing and the operational status of the signal processing unit; this information the interface unit gets from the control unit.

  • Publication number: 20020077094
    Abstract: A prior art method for upgrading a mobile station is to change at least partly software contained therein in a service shop, for example. This solution is not satisfactory to a user of mobile station. In accordance with the invention, the mobile station (MS) is designed to that its software can be be changed at least partly. A software databse (SDB) connected to a mobile communication network (NSS) contains the most recent versions of the softwares of the mobile stations. A downloading unit (DLU) checks the softwares of the mobile stations by means of the database (SDB) and when necessary, loads the software into the mobile station.

  • Patent number: 5862492
    Abstract: A mobile communication system includes base stations, a mobile services switching center, a digital transmission system connecting the base stations to the mobile services switching center, and a network termination of an ISDN base rate access. The digital transmission system has at least one data link connection operating at the rate of the ISDN basic rate access, and digital time division trunk circuits. At least one base station comprises an ISDN basic rate access block for connecting the base station to said data link connection operating at the rate of the ISDN basic rate access. The digital transmission system comprises a switching means positioned between the base station and the mobile services switching center for connecting said ISDN basic rate access block of the base station through the data link connection operating at the rate of the ISDN basic rate access to a digital trunk circuit.

  • Patent number: 5692105
    Abstract: A transcoding and transdecoding unit in a digital mobile radio system, and methods for adjusting their output signals. The unit includes an expander for converting companded digital data into a linear signal; a speech encoder for coding a linearized signal into encoded form; and an amplifier for amplifying the expanded signal. In order that the outbound audio signal not suffer interference due to the raised level, the transcoding unit further includes a level monitor for monitoring the amplitude of the linearized signal and for controlling amplifier such that the signal produced by the amplifier is of a desired level.
