  • Publication number: 20070184862
    Abstract: A method for facilitating an equalization of a simulcast signal comprising: (a) receiving a simulcast signal comprising known data simulcast from at least two different sites; (b) generating a number of simulated simulcast signals, each simulated simulcast signal being based on at least two sites transmitting said known data with a presumed time delay, each simulated simulcast signal having a different presumed time delay; (c) determining which of said simulated simulcast signals is an optimum simulated simulcast signal that correlates most closely to said simulcast signal; and (d) providing time delay data of said optimum simulated simulcast signal for use in equalization of said simulcast signal.

  • Patent number: 6292660
    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling site scanning of a wireless device by adjusting the rate at which the wireless device site scans based on whether the wireless device is in motion. Furthermore, this determination may be made by determining a fade rate and then basing the rate of site scanning on this determined fade rate. Preferably, the rate at which the wireless device site scans proportionally to the fade rate. Multiple thresholds of fade rate may be used to adjust the site scanning rate to provided multiple site scanning rates.
