Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a preferred signal from homogenous streams of a subscriber call in an analog or mixed mode wireless communication network. The method and apparatus have particular significance to un-decoded analog radio packets which require digital signal processing to decode at least their signaling information. The method allocates at least one stream with the best signal qualities to real-time full-decoding in a DSP, and allocates lower quality streams to non-real time burst decoding in the same or another DSP. As signaling quality changes in the homogenous streams, the full-decoding can be re-allocated to a now higher quality stream. Burst decoding lower quality streams allows for more efficient use of DSP processing power and allows more streams to be processed without significant affect on audio content or quality.

Abstract: In accordance with the preferred embodiments of the present invention, a method and a communication network for routing a real-time communication message based on a subscriber profile in a communication system. The communication system provides real-time communication service to a plurality of subscribers such that a first subscriber is in communication with a second subscriber. The communication network (110) receives a real-time communication message from the first subscriber. The communication network (110) also retrieves a subscriber profile associated with the second subscriber. In particular, the subscriber profile includes operating information associated with a wireless device (220 and/or 230) operated by the second subscriber. Based on the subscriber profile, the communication network (110) arranges the message for transmission to the second subscriber. Accordingly, the communication network (110) transmits the arranged message to the second subscriber.

Abstract: Unwanted audible noise on a mixed voice data channel is reduced by disabling an audio output device in a radio receiver or transceiver when the receiver determines that the RF signal received contains binary digital bit data. Alternatively, the receiver enables the audio output device when it determines that the RF signal received does not contain binary digital bit data.

Abstract: A universal PSTN page entry protocol method and arrangement is disclosed whereby any type of incoming call may be accommodated at a single telephone input, be it a call from a standard telephone set or from a computer/VDT or PET terminal device. This permits an originating call to any type of pager whether tone-only, tone and voice, numeric and/or alphanumeric pagers.
