Abstract
Abstract Method of digital radio transmission between a base station and a plurality of mobile stations. A time division multiplexed signal frame is generated, including a plurality of time slots which repeat each frame interval. A beginning number of the time slots form a signalling channel with the remaining following time slots forming a plurality of channels which receive data to be sent. The signalling channels include a common organizational connection for each channel of the frame. Additionally, one of the remaining plurality of channels includes an organizational channel for identifying a larger number of channels than those included in the individual frame. The technique permits a combination of time division multiplexing, spectral multiplexing and carrier frequency multiplexing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A digital radio transmission system in which base stations (BS) and a multiplicity of mutually independent mobile stations (MS) are arranged in a cellular network, and in which the messages for transmission in a common transmission channel are time division multiplexed together wherein, in the transmission direction from the base station (BS) to a respective mobile station (MS) an organization channel accompanying the transmission is provided within the time-division multiplex frame as a central organizatuion channel common to all time multiplexed channels of said multiplex frame for connection data for each data channel contained in said frame.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A digital radio transmission system in which base stations (BS) and a multiplicity of mutually independent mobile stations (MS) are arranged in a cellular network, and in which the messages for transmission in a common transmission channel are time division multiplexed together wherein, in the transmission direction from the base station (BS) to a respective mobile station (MS) an organization channel accompanying the transmission is provided within the time-division multiplex frame as a central organizatuion channel common to all time multiplexed channels of said multiplex frame for connection data for each data channel contained in said frame.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
A digital radio transmission system as claimed in claim 1, wherein a central organization channel is provided over which radio messages are transmitted for all users or for specific user populations of the radio transmission system, and that the organization channels accompanying the transmission comprise a common organization channel for all channels in said frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
A digital radio transmission system as claimed in claim 1, wherein user identification is transmitted in addition to signalling information to establish which particular time channel of the time-division multiplex frame is intended for which particular organization channel accompanying the transmission.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
139 words
A method of digital radio transmission between a base station and a plurality of mobile stations, comprising: generating a time division multiplexed signal frame comprising a plurality of time slots which repeat each frame interval, a beginning number of said time slots forming a signalling channel, the remaining time slots comprising a plurality of data channels; inserting data in each of said remaining time slots forming data channels to be sent to said plurality of mobile stations; inserting signalling data in said beginning number of said time slots of each frame which signalling data includes a common organizational connection for all channels of said frame; and, inserting data into one of said remaining time slots which comprise a central organization channel which is common to a larger number of channels than said channels which include said common organizational connections.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
139 words
A method of digital radio transmission between a base station and a plurality of mobile stations, comprising: generating a time division multiplexed signal frame comprising a plurality of time slots which repeat each frame interval, a beginning number of said time slots forming a signalling channel, the remaining time slots comprising a plurality of data channels; inserting data in each of said remaining time slots forming data channels to be sent to said plurality of mobile stations; inserting signalling data in said beginning number of said time slots of each frame which signalling data includes a common organizational connection for all channels of said frame; and, inserting data into one of said remaining time slots which comprise a central organization channel which is common to a larger number of channels than said channels which include said common organizational connections.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method of claim 4 further including spreading each data channel of each frame with a unique codeword unique to a frame, and simultaneously transmitting different frames of channels identified by different unique codewords.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 4 wherein each of the time slots comprising said remaining channels includes data identifying said channel by its position in the frame, a codeword for spectrally multiplexing said channel, and a carrier frequency which transmits the frame.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 6 wherein a plurality of frames are generated forming a set of frames, each frame having a different codeword.
