Abstract
Abstract The method comprises transmitting an initiating signal in the form of a bit pattern as a continuous burst from one radio unit to the other. The pattern incorporates a preamble pattern and a security code having a plurality of bit sequences. Each sequence is transmitted a number of times. The received security code is compared with stored codes in the other unit, and if a matching pair is identified a response signal is transmitted from the other unit to said one unit. The response signal incorporates the preamble pattern for establishing synchronization between the radio units.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A method of establishing synchronization in a digital radio link in one of a plurality of channels between two radio units of a multi-channel communication system, comprising transmitting an initiating signal in the form of a bit pattern as a continuous burst from one radio unit to the other unit, said continuous data stream burst having a timing which is independent of the synchronism achieved, and said other unit temporarily achieving bit synchronism without changing frame synchronism, the bit pattern incorporating a preamble pattern and a security code comprising a plurality of bit sequences, each bit sequence being transmitted a plurality of times in said continuous burst, comparing the received security code with one or more codes stored within said other radio unit, whereupon, if a matching pair of codes is identified, a response signal is transmitted from said other radio unit to said one unit, the response signal incorporating the preamble pattern for establishing synchronisation between the radio units.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
160 words
A method of establishing synchronization in a digital radio link in one of a plurality of channels between two radio units of a multi-channel communication system, comprising transmitting an initiating signal in the form of a bit pattern as a continuous burst from one radio unit to the other unit, said continuous data stream burst having a timing which is independent of the synchronism achieved, and said other unit temporarily achieving bit synchronism without changing frame synchronism, the bit pattern incorporating a preamble pattern and a security code comprising a plurality of bit sequences, each bit sequence being transmitted a plurality of times in said continuous burst, comparing the received security code with one or more codes stored within said other radio unit, whereupon, if a matching pair of codes is identified, a response signal is transmitted from said other radio unit to said one unit, the response signal incorporating the preamble pattern for establishing synchronisation between the radio units.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A method of establishing synchronism in a digital radio link as claimed in claim 1, wherein one radio unity is a portable unit and the other is a fixed unit and together form a cordless telephone.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method of establishing synchronism in a digital radio link as claimed in claim 2, wherein the portable unit acts as a synchronous slave to the fixed unit, taking timing of transmit and receive frames from the fixed unit.
