Abstract
Abstract A wireless telecommunications system (1) includes a central terminal (10) for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals to and from a subscriber terminal (20). A downlink communication path is established from a transmitter (200) of the central terminal (10) to a receiver (202) of the subscriber terminal (20). A downlink signal (212) is transmitted from the transmitter (200) to the receiver (202) during setup and operation of the wireless telecommunications system (1). The wireless telecommunications system (1) operates in one of three operating modes. In an acquisition mode during establishment of the downlink communication path, the downlink signal (212) is transmitted at a high power level and a low transmit rate with the receiver (202) operating at the low transmit rate. In a standby mode after establishment of the downlink communication path, the downlink signal (212) is transmitted at a low power level and a low transmit rate with the receiver (202) operating at the low transmit rate. In a traffic mode upon a request for wireless communication transmission, the downlink signal (212) is transmitted at a high power level and a high transmit rate with the receiver (202) adjusting to operate at the high transmit rate. Upon completion of the wireless communication transmission, the wireless telecommunications system (1) returns to the standby mode and the receiver (202) adjusts to operate at the low transmit rate.
