A method of exchanging application messages generated by an applications with a format specified by a predetermined protocol and then encapsulating the message with a railroad edge messaging protocol (EMP) header and a railroad Class D messaging transport header to form a packet for transmission across a railroad communications system.

Systems and methods for interfacing a railroad centralized traffic control wayside and a railroad centralized traffic control office using interoperable train control messaging

A method of exchanging centralized train control (CTC) messages in a railroad communication system includes generating a message having a format defined by a protocol with an application running on a sending one of a railroad wayside system and a railroad dispatch system. A railroad edge messaging protocol (EMP) header and a railroad Class D messaging transport header are appended to the message to generate a packet. The packet is transmitted to a receiving one of the railroad dispatch system and the railroad wayside system across the railroad communications system.

A method of messaging in a communications system includes generating a message at an application layer. The message and associated message handling codes are passed to a transport layer and the message fragmented. The fragmented message and the message handling codes are passed to a network layer and the fragmented message selectively segmented as indicated by the message handling code. The selectively segmented message and the message handling code are passed to a link layer and formed into a packet including packet type information and data parts. The packet is passed to a physical layer and a preamble is added. The preamble and packet are transmitted with a radio.

Systems and methods for interoperability positive train control

A radio receiver including a memory storing a reference sample sequence and a synchronizer. The synchronizer receives a data packet, samples and modulates symbols from the data packet and then generates phase-information samples from the modulated samples. The phase-information samples are low-pass to generate a filtered phase-information sample sequence. Samples of the filtered phase-information sample sequence are selectively compared with samples of the reference sample sequence and bit synchronization is established when a selected number of samples of the filtered phase-information sample sequence match a selected number of samples of the reference sample sequence.

Methods for bit synchronization and symbol detection in multiple-channel radios and multiple-channel radios utilizing the same

A method for implementing communications in a railroad communications system having a base station radio and remote radios, the remote radios including a mobile radio and a wayside radio. The method includes assigning a common radio communications channel for allowing a remote radio to connect with the base station radio using a carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) communications protocol and assigning a local channel for allowing communications between the radio base station and the remote radios and between the remote radios, wherein communications on the local channel utilizes a selected one of fixed time division multiple access (FTDMA) and dynamic time division multiple access (DTDMA) communications protocols.
