  • Apparatus, and associated method, for facilitating rapid mode changeover of a mobile station
    Patent number: 6711406
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, facilitates changeover of mode of operation of a mobile station operable in a cellular communication system. Changeover of the mode of operation of the mobile station is required when the mobile station is operated in the packet mode and a circuit-switched call is to be terminated at the mobile station. A page is transmitted to the mobile station which includes an allocation of time during which a response to a page forming a request to suspend the packet mode of operation is to be generated.

  • Multi-mode mobile apparatus and method for calculating frame/time slot offsets, and allowing mobiles to synchronize with different mobile protocols/schemes
    Patent number: 6396827
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for a UWC-136 HS communication system is provided. A synchronization signal generated by the network infrastructure, constructed generally corresponding to the existing IS-136/136+ standard is received by a mobile station operable, generally, pursuant to the timing scheme defined in a GSM system. A relative timing offset between the timing schemes of the respective communication system schemes is determined and thereafter utilized for purposes of synchronization.

  • Apparatus, and associated method, for communicating packet data in a radio communication system
    Patent number: 6327256
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, by which to transmit packet data from a mobile station to network infrastructure of a TDMA, cellular communication system at an increased rate. The increased rate is provided while still operating the mobile station in half-duplex mode of operation. In one implementation, the mobile station is operable to effectuate triple-rate communication of packet data at a multi-rate defined in the GPRS-136 standard.
