Filed:

Jan 10, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/479663

Inventors:

Paul F. Struhsaker - Plano TX
Patrick Wilton Quinn - Fremont CA
Michael J. Easson - San Francisco CA
Thomas C. Hudson - Allen TX

Assignee:

Nera Telecommunications Inc. - Allen TX

International Classification:

H04Q 720

US Classification:

370280, 370470, 370474, 370342

Abstract:

A method and system for implementing an air interface for a Time Division Duplex (TDD) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless local loop system that utilizes unique embedded concentrated access and embedded data access in a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) is described. The method and system further provides for dynamic pool sizing of the access channels. The interface is designed to support POTS (Plain Old Telephone), ISDN, and direct data service in a point to multi-point configuration. The interface is inherently flexible so as to provide Enhanced Bandwidth and quality of service (QOS) via CDMA. Channel concatenation (multi-code modulation) provides a multiplicity of channels. The system utilizes frequency division duplex (FDD) operation so as to double capacity. The system further utilizes scaleable architecture for bandwidth expansion and higher data rate services.

US Classification:

370329, 370335

Abstract:

A method and system for implementing various protocols for a Time Division Duplex (TDD) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless local loop system that utilizes unique embedded concentrated access and embedded data access in a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) is described. The method and system further provides for dynamic pool sizing of the access channels. The protocols support POTS (Plain Old Telephone), ISDN, and direct data service in a point to multi-point configuration. The protocols are inherently flexible so as to provide Enhanced Bandwidth and quality of service (QOS) via CDMA. Channel concatenation (multi-code modulation) provides a multiplicity of channels. The system utilizes frequency division duplex (FDD) operation so as to double capacity. The system further utilizes scaleable architecture for bandwidth expansion and higher data rate services.

International Classification:

H04Q 720

US Classification:

455450, 4554521, 455509, 455516, 455517

Abstract:

A method and system provides for removing a number of channels from a larger pool of channels. The channels are assigned in ways to provide subscribers with both voice and digital data service. The system is designed to support POTS ISDN, and direct data service in a point to multipoint configuration. Channel concatenation provides a multiplicity of channels. The system utilizes frequency division duplex (FDD) operation so as to double capacity.

International Classification:

H04M 342

US Classification:

455 51

Abstract:

A method and system for assigning multiple wireless communication channels in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless local loop system that utilizes unique embedded concentrated access and embedded data access in a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) is described. The method and system provides for removing a number of channels, called a bank, from a larger pool of channels. The removed bank of channels are then assigned in ways to provide subscribers with both voice and digital data service. The system is designed to support POTS (Plain Old Telephone), ISDN, and direct data service in a point to multi-point configuration. The system is inherently flexible so as to provide Enhanced Bandwidth and quality of service (QOS) via CDMA. Channel concatenation (multi-code modulation) provides a multiplicity of channels.
