Abstract: A method for assigning a channel in multi-FA CDMA mobile communication system according to the received power prevents communication quality of a FA from being inferior to that of the others by managing the interference level of the FA. The method comprises the steps of: comparing a first threshold value with received power when the base station receives a new call request; assigning a traffic channel in a first FA of the request, if the received power is less than the first threshold value, and searching a second FA of which received power is least, if not; comparing a second threshold value with the received power of the second FA; and assigning a traffic channel in the second FA if the received power is less than the second threshold value, and rejecting the request, if not.

Abstract: Disclosed is a handover method in a next-generation mobile communication system. When a terminal is in the idle state, an IP is reallocated according to a process of mobile IPs to perform a location registration process, and when the terminal is in the active state, it operates according to a procedure of a mobile communication network. Therefore, the terminal operates in two modes to support mobility on the IP-based networks, and it performs a handover procedure by configuring a layer below the MAC to a new AS without allocating the IP at the handover state when it is in the active state to thus minimize handover delay time.

Abstract: Test apparatus 100 judges a test item, and when carrying out a radio transmission characteristics test, communicates layer 3 signals with mobile terminal apparatus 150 to implement radio connection over CDMA radio interface and transmit a measurement signal. In transmitting the measurement signal, mobile terminal RLC control section 109 notifies RLC section 152 of suspension of transmission of a signaling signal, and based on the notification, RLC section 152 suspends transmission of a signaling signal and transmits only the measurement signal. It is thereby possible to carry out the radio transmission characteristics test with constant transmission power without providing the mobile terminal apparatus with a function only required for the radio transmission characteristics test.

Abstract: A method for processing data, in a wireless application protocol for wireless applications using Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), includes the steps of: (a) receiving data from an upper layer into a Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP) layer; (b) storing the data received in the WDP layer in step (a) in a common buffer which is commonly used by the WDP layer and a USSD Dialogue Control Protocol (UDCP) layer; and (c) forming packets in the UDCP layer using the data stored in the common buffer in step (b), and then transmitting the packets through the USSD. According to the method, memories for the WDP layer and the UDCP layer, which is an adaptation layer for a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) USSD bearer, are integrated into one, effectively reducing a required memory size compared to conventional methods in which the WDP layer and the UDCP layer use separate memories.

Abstract: A telephone subscriber having both a wireline and a cellular telephone can switch calls between these phones. A routing table identifies that a subscriber is entitled to this service, and a look up table maintains the telephone numbers of the two different telephones. Upon detection of a unique signal indicating a request for switching a call connected to one of the telephones to the other telephone, a connection is made to the other telephone, the two connections are bridged, and then the first connection is dropped. The routing table may be maintained in a central office and the look up table may be maintained in a mobile switching center or a fixed cellular mobility agent.

Abstract: A method for operating a dual-band mobile station (10) includes a first step of (a) storing information in the mobile station. The stored information includes an ordered list of frequency bands (Band Order Table 24A). For example, at least one frequency band is an 800 MHz frequency band and at least one other frequency band is a 1900 MHz frequency band. The stored information further includes an identity (24B) of a band wherein an acceptable control channel was last located. A next step (b) is executed in response to a user invoking a search procedure to locate a new non-public system. This step accesses the memory to determine the identity of the band wherein an acceptable control channel was last located, and marks this band as a band to be searched. A next step (c) collects signal strength measurements on channels in the band to be searched and executes a channel search procedure to locate a control channel of a desired non-public system within the band to be searched.

Abstract: A removable data store (34) for a mobile station (8) used in a mobile communications system, the data store being provided with two alternative fixed dialling number lists (70, 72) which are accessible by the mobile station. The data store itself determines a mode of operation of the mobile station, for example a telephone line mode, in order to select between accessing the first list or the second list. This allows the alternate list feature to be implemented without requiring the mobile station (8) to be modified for compatibility with the removable data store (34).

Abstract: An apparatus and method for adaptively producing transmitted signals and processing received signals in a communication system which includes smart antenna array of antenna elements. When processing received signals, the invention modifies an existing processing scheme by incorporating information about a second set of signals for which training or other characteristic information such as a reference is unknown to information about a first set of signals for which characteristic information such as a reference is known, prior to executing the processing scheme. This approach can be used to modify the receive weights which determine the relative weight assigned to the signals received from each of a plurality of antenna elements to take into account the presence of a changing interference environment.
