Abstract

Abstract A wide variety of services both narrow band and broad band are provided to wireless stations (124,125,126,127) both fixed and mobile by a flexible intelligent ATM base station (201). Such a base station provides two-way integrated voice (to 124), wireless date (to 125), wireless multimedia (to 126), and compressed video services (to 127) to a wireless subscriber using different narrow band and wide band Common Air Interfaces (CAI). Uplink service includes narrow band signaling and bearer information signaling. By having a single base station (201) perform these services, the number of station sites, required for a given level of service, may be significantly reduced and the spectrum utilization may be significantly increased.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 146 words
A flexible intelligent base station for providing two-way integrated voice, wireless data, wireless multimedia, and compressed video services to a wireless subscriber, CHARACTERIZED BY: an uplink air-to-network interface coupling an ATM network to the wireless subscriber and including: a radio system for separating signaling and bearer information streams, an ATM protocol conversion system for mapping separated signaling and bearer information streams into an ATM cell structure, and a network interface for transmitting the ATM cell structure into the ATM network; a reverse network-to-air interface coupling the ATM network to the wireless subscriber and including: a network interface for receiving ATM cells from the ATM networks, an ATM processing circuit for converting ATM cells into signaling and bearer information streams, and the radio system including circuitry for transmitting the signaling and bearer information streams to the subscriber using an appropriate narrow or wide band common air interface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 45 words
A flexible intelligent base station for providing two-way integrated voice, wireless data, wireless multimedia, and compressed video services to a wireless subscriber, as claimed in claim 1, and the ATM processing circuit including means for segmentation of a received information L1 for the radio circuitry.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 55 words
A flexible intelligent base station for providing two-way integrated voice, wireless data, wireless multimedia, and compressed video services to a wireless subscriber, as claimed in claim 1, and the ATM processing circuit including means for reassembly of ATM cells into a form suitable for radio transmission by the radio system to which it is connected.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 44 words
A flexible intelligent base station for providing two-way integrated voice, wireless data, wireless multimedia, and compressed video services to a wireless subscriber, as claimed in claim 1, and the ATM processing circuit including means for convergence of signals coupling it to the radio system.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 48 words
A flexible intelligent base station for providing two-way integrated voice, wireless data, wireless multimedia, and compressed video services to a wireless subscriber, as claimed in claim 4, and the means for convergence of signals including means for assembling packets into cells and means for assembling cells into packets.
