Abstract: A method for a radio frequency communication unit (110) (CU) to hand off from a losing node (120) to an alternate node (122) estimates one or more alternate node uplink times (240) and alternate node uplink frequencies (242), which the alternate node uplink signal comprises. During handoff, the CU (110) ceases communications with the losing node (120) and immediately begins communications with the alternate node (122) using the uplink time and uplink frequency. A CU apparatus (300) uses a processor (302) for carrying out calculations necessary for estimating the alternate node uplink time and frequency. Information necessary for the calculations, such as a downlink signal time-of-arrival and Doppler offset, are collected by a CU receiver (306). The CU receiver (306) and a CU transmitter (304) are used to support downlink signals (142) and uplink signals (140), respectively, between the CU (110) and a node (120, 122).

Abstract: A traffic management system with overload control functions which deals with traffic congestion happened in a particular coverage area as part of a telecommunications network system. The traffic management system comprises two main units: an overload controller and a call restriction processor. The overload controller identifies the coverage area in a high-traffic condition and activates the call restriction processor deployed in the identified area. Under the control of the overload controller, the call restriction processor regulates the acceptance of calls from subscribers within the area. To provide such overload control functions, the overload controller comprises the following processors. An originating call analysis processor analyzes each originating call to locate the coverage area where the call setup request was initiated. A call-restricted area search processor determines whether to designate the originating coverage area as a call-restricted coverage area which is subject to call restriction.

At least one of the transmitters changes (708) its output amplitude during a portion of the time period, thereby altering the intersymbol interference during the portion of the time period.
