In a digital wireless communication system operating between a first unit and a second unit, the first unit transmits a digitally encoded RF signal at a first frequency in a plurality of a non-contiguous time slots to the second unit. The second unit receives the digitally encoded RF signals. The received RF digitally encoded signal is converted to an intermediate frequency (IF). An A to D converter samples the received IF digitally encoded signals and generates a plurality of discrete binary symbols during one of the plurality of non-contiguous time slots. A phase error signal is generated for each one of the plurality of discrete binary symbols. A frequency error signal is generated for the subsequent symbol in accordance with .DELTA.f(n+1)=.DELTA.f(n)+g.sub.1 (.crclbar.(n)-.crclbar.(n)). The conversion of the RF signal to intermediate frequency is controlled in response to the frequency error signal. The control is adjusted after the one time slot but prior to the commencement of a subsequent one of the plurality of non-contiguous time slots.

Method and apparatus to adaptively control the frequency of reception in

In a digital wireless communication system, a first unit transmits a digitally encoded signal to a second unit in a plurality of non-contiguous time slots. Within each time slot, the digitally encoded signal has a synchronization signal portion followed by a data signal portion. The second unit has an antenna to receive the synchronization signal portion of the digitally encoded signal. The second unit also has a clock to generate a clock signal at a first rate having a sampling phase. An analog to digital converter receives the clock signal and the synchronization signal and samples the synchronization signal at the first rate to generate a first plurality of symbols. An interpolator receives the first plurality of symbols and interpolates the first plurality of symbols to generate a second plurality of symbols at a second rate. The second rate is a multiple of the first rate. A match filter receives the second plurality of symbols and compares the second plurality symbol of symbols to a stored plurality of symbols to generate an error signal. The sampling phase of the clock signal is altered in response to the error signal, after to the receipt of the synchronization signal.
