  • Discontinuous transmission muting/unmuting system with link continuity
    Patent number: 5146610
    Abstract: A system for facilitating link continuity and prompt supervisory control in a communication system with discontinuous transmissions comprising varying the carrier power in a first communication unit and varying frequency deviation of a modulating signal to provide a continuous signal detectable by a second communication unit, where continuous monitoring at the second communication unit allows for rapid detection and reaction to received supervisory control signals through the use of continually comparing the received supervisory signal to an expected signal and qualifier signal to enhance the reaction time of the second communication unit.
