Publication number: 20050141452Abstract: A mobile communications system including a plurality of base stations includes a plurality of mobile telephones. Each mobile telephone communicates with at least a base station from the plurality of base stations using a timeslot and a frame. The frame has a plurality of timeslots for the base station to use to communicate with various of the plurality of mobile telephones in a cell covered by the base station. Each mobile telephone has a single radio capable of communication on various frequencies. The radio is not capable of communicating on different frequencies on adjacent timeslots in a frame. A mobile telephone may establish communication with a first base station on a particular timeslot in a frame. If another timeslot is available in the frame in a second base station, communication may be established with the second base station on another timeslot in the frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2005Publication date: June 30, 2005Inventor: Jan Vancraeynest

Patent number: 6868272Abstract: Communications system comprising a set of interface devices adapted to be coupled to a public switch telephone network (PSTN) and radio transceivers. The interface devices are configured to serve in various geographic regions. The radio transceivers are coupled to the interface devices in the set of interface devices. The radio transceivers are for communication with mobile subscribers. The mobile subscribers each have a home region. The circuitry coupled to the set of interfaces routes a call through a path including an interface device that serves the mobile subscriber's home region, for a call involving the PSTN and a mobile subscriber located outside the mobile subscriber's home region.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1999Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignee: UTStarcom, Inc.Inventors: Paul Berkowitz, Chauncey Shey, Jan Vancraeynest, Jose Vasconcellos
