ABSTRACT:
A system for creating multiple subchannels in a single two-way radio channel and a power control system for a mobile radio transmitter are described. Each subchannel in the system is capable of carrying voice or data. Each subchannel is split into an upper and a lower band with the upper band placed in a particular frequency range above the center of the channel and the lower band is placed in a corresponding frequency range below the center of the channel. Either one or two pilot tones placed at or adjacent to the center of the channel are used to provide a reference for all of the subchannels to allow for correction of distortions when the signal is received. The system includes base station with a transmitter and receiver and a plurality of mobile units each with a transmitter and a receiver. The base station transmits a signal which is the sum of all the subchannels. The mobile unit receives the signal, separates and processes the particular subchannel for that mobile unit. The mobile unit transmits only the desired subchannel or subchannels with a pilot tone located adjacent to one of the bands of the subchannel. Two or more subchannels can be used in conjunction to achieve faster data rates or higher quality voice transmissions. The mobile transmitter power control system for the mobile transmitter allows the mobile unit to monitor the pilot tone from the base station and to calculate a transmission power based on a desired signal strength. Additionally, the transmission power may be altered during transmission as commanded by the base station, or if the mobile unit measures a change in the strength of the pilot tone from the base station.
