Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2309713A1] A flexible channel architecture supports full-duplex, radio-frequency communication between a base station, such as a PWT or DECT base station, and a group of remote terminals. Communication from the base to the terminals is by way of a radio-frequency carrier having a first frequency, and communication from the terminals to the base is by way of a second radiofrequency carrier having a second frequency. Each carrier is organized to provide an N-timeslot time-division multiple access data stream (N an integer), so that together the two carriers provide a 2N-timeslot system. Within each data frame, data from the base to the terminals is sent on the first carrier during a first half of the frame, and data from the terminals to the base is sent on the second carrier during the remaining half of the frame. An additional, complementary base station, constructed to transmit when the first base station is receiving and vice versa, can be co-located with the first base station to provide full time and spectral efficiency within a coverage area serviced by the base stations.
