The present disclosure provides a system and a method for providing mobility management and out-of-coverage indication in a conventional Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system. A radio provides its location and user group data to the disclosed system through its traffic channel when the channel is idle. Knowledge of the radio's current location and user group data is used to provide dynamic call routing and data management within the disclosed system. The disclosed system and method may provide operability similar to that of a trunking system by providing mobility management and out-of-coverage indication while providing low-cost benefits through operation of a conventional system.

System and method for providing mobility management and out-of-coverage indication in a conventional land mobile radio system

The present disclosure provides a system and a method for providing mobility management and out-of-coverage indication in a hybrid system comprised of conventional LMR sites and trunking LMR sites. If a radio is located at a conventional site, the radio provides its location and user group data to the disclosed system through its traffic channel when the channel is idle. If the radio is located at a trunking site, the radio provides its location and user group data to the disclosed system through the trunking site's control channel. Knowledge of the radio's current location and user group data is used to provide dynamic call routing and data management within the disclosed system. The disclosed system and method provides seamless communication between a trunking site and a conventional site while concurrently enhancing the hybrid system to provide mobility management and out-of-coverage indication features typically associated with a stand-alone trunking system.

A method and apparatus for selecting a preferred signal from homogenous streams of a subscriber call in an analog or mixed mode wireless communication network. The method and apparatus have particular significance to un-decoded analog radio packets which require digital signal processing to decode at least their signaling information. The method allocates at least one stream with the best signal qualities to real-time full-decoding in a DSP, and allocates lower quality streams to non-real time burst decoding in the same or another DSP. As signaling quality changes in the homogenous streams, the full-decoding can be re-allocated to a now higher quality stream. Burst decoding lower quality streams allows for more efficient use of DSP processing power and allows more streams to be processed without significant affect on audio content or quality.

Voting comparator method, apparatus, and system using a limited number of digital signal processor modules to process a larger number of analog audio streams without affecting the quality of the voted audio stream

In accordance with the preferred embodiments of the present invention, a method and a communication network for routing a real-time communication message based on a subscriber profile in a communication system. The communication system provides real-time communication service to a plurality of subscribers such that a first subscriber is in communication with a second subscriber. The communication network () receives a real-time communication message from the first subscriber. The communication network () also retrieves a subscriber profile associated with the second subscriber. In particular, the subscriber profile includes operating information associated with a wireless device (and/or) operated by the second subscriber. Based on the subscriber profile, the communication network () arranges the message for transmission to the second subscriber. Accordingly, the communication network () transmits the arranged message to the second subscriber.

Unwanted audible noise on a mixed voice data channel is reduced by disabling an audio output device in a radio receiver or transceiver when the receiver determines that the RF signal received contains binary digital bit data. Alternatively, the receiver enables the audio output device when it determines that the RF signal received does not contain binary digital bit data.

Method and apparatus for squelching dependent on detected bond rate to

A universal PSTN page entry protocol method and arrangement is disclosed whereby any type of incoming call may be accommodated at a single telephone input, be it a call from a standard telephone set or from a computer/VDT or PET terminal device. This permits an originating call to any type of pager whether tone-only, tone and voice, numeric and/or alphanumeric pagers.
