Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to battery saving methods suitable for use with radio paging communications systems, and more particularly to radio paging communications systems which include selectively called paging receivers which have assignable battery saver duty cycles.
  • Radio paging communications systems which include selectively called paging receivers having battery saving operation are in widespread use today. Both tone coded and digital coded battery saving schemes are in use, providing a variety of system battery saving performance characteristics. These current communications systems have generally provided adequate battery saving operation for paging receivers which utilize N-cell size and larger batteries. However, the small physical size and form factor of paging devices, such as wrist worn pager/watch devices, preclude the use of batteries larger than button cells. Thus while battery saving performance is adequate in systems with the paging receivers incorporating substantial batteries, these systems are inadequate for paging devices operating from extremely limited energy sources, such as button cell batteries.
  • the proposed system would also be very inefficient and costly, as extremely large paging call and message geues would have to be provided in the terminal handling the paging calls. Such a solution is not only expensive, but is sure to create tremendous customer dissatisfaction. Clearly, short message qeues and rapid system response times must be maintained throughout the system as a whole. The problem is how to satisfy these needs, and balance them with the requirement of adequate battery life cycles for all paging receivers in the system, including those paging devices operating from extremely limited energy sources.
  • FIGS. 1A - 1C comprise descriptive diagrams for a conventional battery saving system.
  • FIGS. 2A - 2C comprise descriptive diagrams for a battery saving system employing a coded sync signal in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIGS. 3A - 3D comprise descriptive diagrams for a battery saving system illustrating the operation of a paging receiver employing a coded sync signal in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a simplified electrical schematic diagram of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a functional diagram of a microcomputer utilized in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIGS. 6A - 6C are flowcharts describing the operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the POCSAG code format as shown in FIG. 1A, utilizes a digital code format and consists of batches of pages transmitted at regular intervals. Each batch is shown to consist of a sync word followed by the pages to be transmitted. As can be seen in FIG. IB, following the sync word, pages are transmitted in eight separate frames of address codes, namely 1-8, each of which includes two address segments. All pagers in the system are assigned to operate in one of the eight frames.
  • FIG. 1C shows an example of how battery saving is accomplished in the POCSAG signalling system.
  • a pager has been assigned to frame 6.
  • the pager intermitantly provides power to the receiver section for a period of time long enough to detect the sync word, thereby continuously maintaining synchronization with the system.
  • power is removed from the receiver until the frame to which the pager has been assigned occurs, in this case, frame 6.
  • Power is again supplied to the receiver section for the duration of frame 6 during which time the pager is evaluating the received addresses to determine if a page has been sent to it. If a page was not received during the assigned frame, power is again removed from the receiver until the next sync word is to be transmitted.
  • the POCSAG signalling system provides approximately a one to eight battery saving ratio, i.e. the time the receiver is on to the time the receiver is off.
  • the POCSAG signalling system described thus provides a battery saving format which delivers the same effective battery saver duty cycle to all pagers in the system. Such a system does not provide a method of varying the duty cycle which is required to improve battery life, unless the entire system is changed.
  • an improved battery saver system is shown in FIG. 2 which provides for a substantial improvement in battery life. While the basic format shown in FIG. 2A and 2B is similar to the prior art systems, the sync signal, or word, is no longer a single fixed word. Any number of distinct batches are created by including a coded sync word including a sync word and a sync I.D. at the end of the sync word as shown in FIG. 2C.
  • the format of the sync I.D. can be of any number of forms, such as a four bit binary word ranging from 0 to 15. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the number of sync I.D.'s provided in the system is a matter of choice, based upon the largest battery saving ratio contemplated for use in the system. Sync I.D. 's are assigned to a common sync word identifying each batch, and batches are transmitted in proper sequence.
  • pagers there are N coded sync words describing N different batches to which pagers can be assigned.
  • pagers can be assigned to a frame transmitted in one or more of the N different batches previously described, thereby tailoring the battery saver duty cycle to the type of pager in service.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the flexibility of the battery saving system described.
  • pagers can be assigned to operate in one, or any combination of unique batches, or sync groups, defined by the coded sync words assigned. If a pager is assigned in a conventional manner to receive pages during frame six, and specifically only during sync group two, as shown in FIG. 3B, then the pager will only turn on one out of 128 possible frames, for a battery saver duty cycle of 1:128. If the pager is assigned to two of the possible sync groups as shown in FIG.
  • the pager turns on for two of the possible 128 frames, for a battery saver duty cycle of.1:64. It is possible to assign a pager to all sync groups as shown in FIG. 3D with a resultant battery saver duty cycle of 1:8, which is the same as provided by the prior art POCSAG code format.
  • the sync groups to which a pager will respond can be individually assigned and stored in the pager in the same manner as individual addresses are assigned to the pagers.
  • the terminal normally used to queue pages in the correct frame in which they are to be transmitted, would also queue the pages by the sync groups to which the individual pagers are programmed to respond.
  • Pagers providing different battery saver duty cycles can be mixed on the same system without interfering with each other.
  • Pagers, such as miniature wrist worn pagers could be assigned to long battery saving duty cycles, while other pagers could be assigned to a shorter battery saving duty cycle, such as the prior art battery saving duty cycle.
  • Figure 4 shows an electrical block diagram of a pager constructed in accordance with the present invention.
