Abstract
A communications device for receiving data from a base station in up to N phases, including in one phase, all phases, or multiple phases. The multi-phase mode captures data from all phases and discards all but selected phases assigned to the wireless communications device. The wireless communications device may have different network addresses within each phase and the phases and network addresses may be modified during operation. The wireless communications device includes 1) a receiver for receiving a TDMA signal transmitted from a base station, the TDMA signal having user data streams arranged in N phases, and 2) a data controller for processing the user data streams in a multi-phase mode, wherein the data controller retrieves from M selected phases at least one user data stream directed to the wireless communications device, where M may be greater than 1 and is less than N.
