Abstract
Abstract In a mobile communication system in which signals are temporally compressed into time slots of a frame structure, a composite signal such as a telephone signal or data signal is hybrid-modulated using the same radio carrier wave, whereby diversity transmission/reception are available. The telephone signal is frequency-modulated using a single time slot of a single radio communication channel which has been allocated between a mobile transceiver and a radio base station. The frequency-modulated signal is again amplitude-modulated by the same telephone signal so that diversity transmission/reception is available.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A method for providing diversity communication of a time-division, time-compressed multiplexing telephone signal for a mobile communication system having a plurality of radio base station means for covering a plurality of zones constituting service areas, and gateway switching means for switching communications between each of said plurality of radio base station means and each of a plurality of mobile radio means, wherein said plurality of mobile radio means use a radio channel through which signals segmented and temporally compressed into time slots of frame structures, are transmitted in order to thereby communicate with each of said plurality of radio base station means, and wherein said plurality of mobile radio means travel between said plurality of zones, said method comprising the steps of: performing amplitude modulation and angle modulation of a single carrier wave using said temporally compressed and segmented signals to thereby generate a hybrid-modulated signal which has been both amplitude-modulated and angle-modulated; transmitting said generated hybrid-modulated signal; and performing at least one of amplitude demodulation and angle demodulation on the hybrid-modulated signal.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
173 words
A method for providing diversity communication of a time-division, time-compressed multiplexing telephone signal for a mobile communication system having a plurality of radio base station means for covering a plurality of zones constituting service areas, and gateway switching means for switching communications between each of said plurality of radio base station means and each of a plurality of mobile radio means, wherein said plurality of mobile radio means use a radio channel through which signals segmented and temporally compressed into time slots of frame structures, are transmitted in order to thereby communicate with each of said plurality of radio base station means, and wherein said plurality of mobile radio means travel between said plurality of zones, said method comprising the steps of: performing amplitude modulation and angle modulation of a single carrier wave using said temporally compressed and segmented signals to thereby generate a hybrid-modulated signal which has been both amplitude-modulated and angle-modulated; transmitting said generated hybrid-modulated signal; and performing at least one of amplitude demodulation and angle demodulation on the hybrid-modulated signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A method for providing diversity communication for a time-division mobile communication system, as claimed in claim 1, comprising the further step of: delaying one of the amplitude-modulated signal and angle-modulated signal after said hybrid-modulated wave is generated and transmitted, in order to thereby achieve a time diversity effect.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
A method for providing diversity communication in a time-division mobile communication system as claimed in claim 1, wherein a bandwidth of said temporally compressed and segmented signal is substantially equal to a bandwidth of a modulated signal obtained from one of said amplitude-modulated signal and said angle-modulated signal.
