ABSTRACT:
In a satellite mobile telecommunications system based on the GSM standard, and using a TDMA frame structure, discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode is used to take advantage of the substantial silences which occur during normal speech. In this mode, traffic channel (TCH) data is not sent, but control of the link between a ground station and a user terminal is maintained by sending control channel data bursts (SACCH) together with silence descriptor (SID) frames. To avoid high peak to mean values of transmission power at the satellite, the emission time of the bursts is controlled so as to be uniform over the available sending opportunities. Conventional techniques for doing this cannot be used in a system which includes diversity operation. Therefore, the burst transmission time at the ground station is set in dependence on a reference provided by the user terminal which is a modified version of the reference generated for contention resolution of random access requests.
