Abstract: A method of synchronizing a clock for an adjacent network (AN) to a clock for an overlay network (ON) is provided. The method includes extracting an ON clock signal from an outgoing signal transmitted from the overlay network. The AN clock is synchronized to the ON clock based on the extracted ON clock signal.

Abstract: A method for origination signaling in a wireless network is provided. The method includes receiving a delayed feature request at an input device. The delayed feature request is directly provided from the input device to an override chip. An invitation message that is operable to request establishment of a delayed feature session is generated in the override chip based on the delayed feature request. The invitation message is sent to a base station.

Abstract: A base station for use in a wireless network capable of communicating with a plurality of mobile stations in a coverage area of the wireless network. The base station comprises a controller for controlling use of an Auxiliary Pilot channel. The controller causes the base station to i) terminate use of the Auxiliary Pilot channel in a first mode, ii) transmit data traffic to a first mobile station using the Auxiliary Pilot channel in a second mode, and iii) transmit data traffic to the first mobile station using a traffic channel phase-matched to a wide sector pilot channel signal in a third mode.

Abstract: A mobile station for communicating with a wireless network comprising a plurality of base stations. The mobile station comprises: 1) a first receive path capable of receiving data on a first carrier; and 2) a second receive path capable of receiving data on a second carrier, wherein the mobile station is capable of receiving a first control message from the wireless network assigning the mobile station to receive data on the first carrier and assigning the mobile station to receive data on the second carrier.

Abstract: A variable bandwidth controller for use in a wireless network comprising base stations capable of operating on N carriers. The variable bandwidth controller determines a receiver capability of a first mobile station and, in response to the determination, assigns the first mobile station to operate on at least a first carrier and a second carrier. The variable bandwidth controller determines the receiver capability of the first mobile station based on a message received from the first mobile station. The variable bandwidth controller assigns the mobile station to operate on the first carrier during normal data traffic conditions and assigns the mobile station to operate on the second carrier during peak data traffic conditions.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) coverage server for use in a wireless network comprising base stations that communicate with mobile stations located in a coverage area of the wireless network. The RF coverage server receives from the mobile stations geographic location data indicating positions of the mobile stations when communication links to the wireless network were dropped. The RF coverage server identifies areas of good RF coverage and areas of poor RF coverage in the wireless network. The RF coverage server also identifies a first one of the mobile stations that frequently drops communication links to the wireless network when the first mobile station is disposed in the good RF coverage areas.

Abstract: Beam-formed transmission from a transmitting wireless communication station to a receiving wireless communication station is supported by estimating a direction for the beamformed transmission. The receiving station reports to the transmitting station information about wide-beam and narrow-beam pilot signals that the receiving station has received from the transmitting station. The transmitting station estimates the direction of the beamformed transmission based on this information.

Abstract: A border base station capable of providing reliable hard handoffs between a first wireless network and a second wireless network is provided that includes a base station controller, a first base transceiver station and a transition base transceiver station. The base station controller is operable to manage communications resources within the first wireless network. The first base transceiver station is coupled to the base station controller. The first base transceiver station is operable to provide communication for a mobile station in the first wireless network. The transition base transceiver station is coupled to the base station controller and is located in proximity to a second base transceiver station. The transition base transceiver station is operable to provide communication for the mobile station in the second wireless network. The second base transceiver station is part of the second wireless network and is operable to provide communication for the mobile station in the second wireless network.

Abstract: A digital cellular radio communication system having a remote repeater is provided. The communication system includes a central communication site which: transmits and receives signals in a first radio channel assigned according to a cellular communication system channel reuse plan, transmits signals to and receives signals from a cellular communication network unit, and digitally processes received signals for subsequent transmission in the first radio channel or to the cellular communication network unit. The communication system further includes a remote communication site, substantially remotely located from the central communication site, which: receives a signal in either the first radio channel or a second radio channel assigned according to the cellular communication system channel reuse plan, channel shifts the received signal between the first and the second radio channels, and transmits the shifted signal in the other of the first and the second radio channels.

Abstract: A Multiplexer/Demultiplexer for transmitting packetized data between a processor and a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) bus. First-in First-Out (FIFO) shift registers, serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial converters and associated timing and control circuits are utilized to perform the packetized data transmission.
