  • Patent number: 5521968
    Abstract: In a radio telephone system and a call charging method used in this radio telephone system, when a user of a radio telephone issues a telephone call to a public telephone network by utilizing a radio controller installed in a PBX employed on the premises of a company to which the telephone user does not belong, the PBX reports both of terminal number information of the radio telephone and call account information for charging the call account to the terminal to the public telephone network, in case that a telephone call is demanded. When the information is received, the public telephone network charges the call account to the radio telephone. If the information is not transmitted from the PBX to the public telephone network, the call account is charged to the call originating line of the PBX.

  • Patent number: 5353281
    Abstract: An intermittenceless switching system includes two speech path memories having sufficient capacity to store a single frame of data having a plurality of time slots. The incoming data is stored in one memory, while the outgoing data is read from the other memory. A control circuit continuously alternates the read/write functions between the two memories. A control memory is used to store switch control information. The system includes a buffer memory that is present between a data processor and the control memory to prevent switch operation during data transmission. The system also includes a monitoring circuit for detecting an indication bit signifying the presence or absence of data in the time slot.

  • Patent number: 5301225
    Abstract: A mobile radio telecommunication system and method provide battery-saving receiving of mobile stations. The mobile station autonomously changes the period of intermittence according to the frequency of paging in order to reduce the power consumption of the mobile station. When there has not been paging processing for a fixed time, the mobile station autonomously prolongs the period of intermittence and reregisters a new period of intermittence. In case there has been paging processing, the mobile station shortens the period of intermittence. If blocking has occurred for paging from the cell site, the cell site incorporates blocking information into a broadcast signal, informs the mobile station of occurrence of blocking, and registers a new period of intermittence.

  • Patent number: 5214694
    Abstract: A system for transmitting a scramble signal for a sky port scramble system including an organization center for organizing data relating to customers etc. and first and second control units each having a system controller and a scrambler for performing the scramble processing on the basis of the customer data sent from the organization center. In a normal state, the organization center communicates with one of the first and second control units and each of the first and second control units is operated in the same manner. In case of the occurrence of an abnormality or a fault in the communication control unit, only the other control unit is operated and the organization center communicates with the other control unit instead.

  • Patent number: 5170488
    Abstract: A speech path switching method for use in a radiotelephone system suitable for a private branch radio exchange system. In the radiotelephone system, portable-type cordless telephone sets are respectively connected via intrasystem base stations each disposed in an associated location in the system and each provided with a radio transmission and reception function, a portable-type cordless telephone set in use for a speech transmits, in order to change a combination with a base station, a speech path switch request through a manual operation or in an automatic manner to available base stations existing in the proximity of the base station currently being linked with the telephone set. Each base station sequentially sends a response signal in reply to the speech path switch request such that the telephone set monitors a reception level of the response signal to determine as a switch destination a base station of which the response signal develops a highest reception level as a result of the monitor operation.

  • Patent number: 4998252
    Abstract: Information is transmitted by a digital audio transmission line, which may include recording and playback from a digital audio disc, that includes information other than conventional two-channel audio signals and in which error correction of the data transmitted in either direction between a user and a medium is provided. Information integrity is maintained by a first and second cross-interleave Reed-Solomon code (CIRC), in which a third Reed-Solomon code is overlaid on the CIRC code, whereby a sector is built from user words and protected by a quasi-product code, and then an encoded sector is divided into groups, which are group-wise presented to the CIRC encoder.
