Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
In a subscriber unit for a wireless digital telephone system selection means to determine the type of channel in an incoming signal and the transmit or receive mode of said unit, said selection means comprising means to produce repetitive frames at predetermined intervals wherein a portion of each of said intervals constitutes an Amplitude Modulation Hole, means to determine whether said unit is in a transmit or receive mode and whether a particular channel is a control channel or a voice channel in accordance with the duration of said AM hole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
