A WLL subscriber unit (1) that operates in accordance with a method for establishing a call from a telephone (2) that forms a part of a WLL subscriber unit. The method includes the steps of: (a) dialing a first digit of a telephone number; and (b) detecting the first digit and, in response to detecting the first digit, automatically transmitting a message over an RF channel, the transmitted message being a call origination message having a telephone number portion that contains only the first dialed digit. The method further includes the steps of (c) waiting for a response from the network; (d) when the response is received, determining if at least one additional digit has been dialed; and (e) if yes, transmitting a further message over the RF channel, the transmitted further message being another call origination message having a telephone number portion that contains the first dialed digit and the at least one additional dialed digit that is appended to the first dialed digit. When the network response is received, and if the step of determining if at least one additional digit has been dialed is negative, the method includes the further steps of: (f) determining if the network has accepted the call origination message or rejected the call origination message; (g) if the call origination message is rejected, terminating the call establishment; and (h) if the call origination message is accepted, operating the WLL subscriber unit to connect the call between a user and the called party.

Complete dialed number detection in WLL terminal without specified time

The invention relates to a method for processing information in a wireless local loop (WLL) terminal and a WLL terminal. According to the present invention, a WLL terminal comprises a display device, and character-based information, first data, is converted to second data for displaying it on the display. Said first data is advantageously converted in such a manner that a bitmap (222) is first formed on the basis of the character-based first data and then a line code (223) is formed on the basis of said bitmap. The line code is transferred (224, 225) by means of known facsimile transmission technology to a fax machine serving as a display device and displayed by the fax machine (226). The invention can be applied in wireless local loops to implement services that use information in character format. Such services include the short message service and display of caller data.
