Publication number: 20090219916Abstract: A method allowing wireless communications devices to scan for critical transmissions while transmitting on a conventional time division multiple access channel (TDMA) is disclosed. The TDMA channel is divided into a plurality of slots, each slot capable of carrying audio, video, control, and/or data transmissions. A first slot is used by a first communication device, while a second slot is used by a second communication device. The first communication device transmits at least one burst of information from a first transmission in a first slot. The first communication device switches to a second slot and reads at least one signaling information segment embedded in a second transmission that is being transmitted in the second slot. The first communication device determines to terminate the first transmission in order to receive the second transmission, or to switch back to the first slot and repeat the steps of transmitting, switching, reading and determining.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 29, 2008Publication date: September 3, 2009Applicant: MOTOROLA, INC.Inventor: THOMAS BOHN

Patent number: 7202737Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of influencing an input signal (x), in particular an input signal of a power amplifier of a wireless communication system, wherein said input signal (x) has a range of input amplitudes (r0, . . . , rM?1), wherein a correction signal (?(x)) depending on said input signal (x) is generated, and wherein said input signal (x) is influenced depending on said correction signal (?(x)). A generation of said correction signal (?(x)) is based on a plurality of base functions (?1, ?2, . . . , ?N?1), and said range of input amplitudes (r0, . . . , rM?1) is divided into intervals (r0,r1),(r1,r2), . . . ,(rM?2,rM?1), wherein each of said base functions (?1, ?2, . . . , ?N?1) contributes to said correction signal (?(x)) in a limited number of intervals ((r0,r1),(r1,r2), . . . ,(rM?2,rM?1)). Thus it is possible to change parts of the correction signal by adapting some of said base functions without influencing the whole correction signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2004Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: AlcatelInventors: Jörg Schaepperle, Gabriele Schwoerer, Thomas Bohn

Publication number: 20060221887Abstract: A method for informing mobile stations of a control channel architecture for a wireless communications system is disclosed. At a controller in the wireless communications system, the controller sends a control channel architecture message on a broadcast channel. The control channel architecture message informs the mobile station of a control channel architecture for the wireless communications system. At a mobile station in the wireless communications system, the mobile station receives a control channel architecture message on a broadcast channel, retrieves information relating to the control channel architecture from the received control channel architecture message, and performs control channel processing using the retrieved information.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2005Publication date: October 5, 2006Inventors: Donald Newberg, Thomas Bohn, Shaun Fenton, Christine Pappas

Publication number: 20060018292Abstract: A method and system for scanning a TDMA channel by a subscriber unit in a wireless communications landscape 100 is disclosed. The subscriber unit locks onto a channel that is preprogrammed in the subscriber unit. A base radio transmits a control message to the subscriber unit. The control message informs the subscriber unit of activity present on the channel. The subscriber unit receives and decodes the control message to determine whether there is activity on the channel. If there is, the subscriber unit determines whether the activity is of interest. If it is, then the subscriber unit remains on the channel to receive the activity present on the channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2004Publication date: January 26, 2006Inventors: David Wiatrowski, Thomas Bohn, Satyanarayan Panpaliya, Thomas Senese

Publication number: 20060013188Abstract: In a TDMA system whereby the TDMA system comprises a plurality of subscriber units and a plurality of base radios, a method and system for providing access to a channel for voice transmissions where the first subscriber unit determines whether it is provisioned for polite access to the channel. In addition, the first subscriber unit is characterized by a first color code and a first talkgroup ID. The first subscriber unit also examines the voice transmissions on the channel for voice transmissions that are from a second subscriber unit with a second color code and a second talkgroup ID. If the first color code and the second color code match and if the first talkgroup ID and the second talkgroup match, then the first subscriber unit is allowed access to the channel for voice transmissions even though the channel is being used for voice transmissions by the second subscriber unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2004Publication date: January 19, 2006Inventors: David Wiatrowski, Thomas Bohn, Thomas Senese, John Belmonte, Terry Mansfield
