  • Patent number: 5978667
    Abstract: An electronic exchange system comprises an electronic exchange system for private branch exchanging, multifunctional telephone sets operating as wired extension terminals, public network main lines of a public telecommunication network that are cores for connecting the central telephone electronic exchange system and said electronic exchange system, leased or private lines, cell stations, a control terminal and portable stations of radio slave units for the cell stations. If an incoming call is not forwarded to the called portable station because the portable station does not respond, the incoming call is stored in a predetermined memory arranged with the electronic exchange system, which connects the portable station and the calling terminal once the portable station restores it communicable state.

  • Patent number: 5446739
    Abstract: Portable stations with a single receiver can perform communication using a plurality of slots in one frame in time division multiple access (TDMA) transmission. When communication is performed between one of the portable stations and a cell station with data of two 32 kbps data into which an exchange converts one 64 kbps data, the portable station occupies two slots in one TDMA frame. A controller of the cell station assigns these two slots as being separated from each other by at least one slot. Alternatively, the controller assigns these two slots as being adjacent to each other and assigns same carrier frequency to these slots. Thus, communication with a transmission rate of 63 kbps can be performed by using two slots or two channels of 32 kbps.

  • Patent number: 4888728
    Abstract: According to a multipoint link data-transmission control system, a master transmission device delivers message data via a bidirectional transmission path to a plurality of slave transmission devices, the data containing a control field for designating control data for setting or resetting a flag. The transmitting of data from the slave transmission device to the master transmission device is allowed when the flag is set, and is inhibited when the flat is reset. Where the transmitting of data from a faulty slave transmission device is to be inhibited, the master transmission device transmits the data to the faculty slave transmission device, by designating flag reset data to the control field of the message data. As a result, a transmission-enable signal, which is delivered in synchronization with a transmission-timing clock signal, is reset, thereby stopping the transmitting of data from the slave transmission device to the master transmission device.

  • Patent number: 4733390
    Abstract: A data transmission system in which a plurality of data transmitting circuits with different addresses allotted thereto and a common data receiving circuit are coupled to one another through common data transmission lines. A clock pulse signal determining the rate of data transmission and a frame sync signal determining one frame period having a plurality of time slots are transmitted to the common data transmission lines. The plurality of data transmission circuits are each given a right to transmit data in a plurality of time slots according to a predetermined priority. Each data transmitting circuit is allowed to transmit data in time slots other than a time slot in which a first priority is assigned to itself, after confirming that no data is being transmitted to the common data transmission line by other data transmitting circuits with a priority higher than its priority.
