ABSTRACT:
A system for time division multiplexed communication over a single frequency band in which guard time overhead is reduced by active adjustment of reverse link transmission timing as a function of round trip propagation time. In one embodiment, during a first portion of a time frame, a base station issues a single burst segmented into time slots comprising data directed to each user station. After a single collective guard time, the user stations respond, one by one, in allocated time slots on the same frequency as the base station, with only minimal guard times between each reception. In order to prevent interference among the user transmissions, the base station measures the round trip propagation time for each user station and commands the user stations to advance or retard their transmission timing as necessary. To establish the initial range of a new user station, a short message is sent by the new user station during the collective guard portion (or, alternatively, during an available time slot), from which the base station calculates the propagation delay and hence the distance of the user station. Messages sent from the base station to the user stations may be interleaved so as to reduce the effects of potential noise or interference.
