Appeal No. 2003-0660
Application No. 09/791,259
BACKGROUND
Appellants’ invention is directed to a system for providing
efficient wireless digital technology for placing local calls to
and from individual subscribers. According to Appellants, the
conventional systems are established around complex base stations
in communication with both a central office and a plurality of
subscriber stations utilizing a pair of frequencies, one for
transmission and one for reception (specification, pages 1 & 2).
Appellants’ invention provides for a modified subscriber station
capable of acting as a simulated or emulated base station which
may be substituted for an actual base station to initiate the
synchronization process (specification, page 2). Thus, on only a
single frequency, a subscriber unit may either talk to the
emulated base station or to another subscriber station that has
been synchronized therewith by the emulated base station
(specification, pages 2 & 3).
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. In a telecommunication system for conducting a
plurality of communications which comprise transmitted (TX) and
received (RX) information using wireless transmissions between a
first communication station and a second station over one of a
plurality of available frequencies; the system further including
a primary/secondary station comprising:
a receiver for receiving synchronization information from
said first communication station;
