Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to telecommunication systems and, more specifically, to a method and apparatus for operating a telecommunication network including a code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system and a frequency division multiple access/time division multiple access (FDMA/TDMA) communication system operating within a common frequency range.
- CDMA code division multiple access
- FDMA/TDMA frequency division multiple access/time division multiple access
- GSM pan-European Group Speciale Mobile
- GSM uses a frequency duplex arrangement whereby the upper frequency range (935-960 MHZ) is used for downlink transmission from base stations to mobile stations and the lower frequency range (890-915 MHZ) is used for uplink transmissions from mobile stations to base stations.
- GSM is a hybrid frequency division multiple access/time division multiple access (FDMA/TDMA) system where the 25 MHZ wide uplink and downlink bands are each subdivided into 125 paired channels each 200 kHz wide. Each 200 kHz wide channel is further subdivided into 8 time slots.
- FDMA/TDMA hybrid frequency division multiple access/time division multiple access
- GSM Global System for Mobile communications
- FH-CDMA frequency hopping code division multiple access
- IS-136 IS-136) .
- IS-136 also employs a frequency duplex arrangement with downlink frequencies in the 869-894 MHZ range and uplink frequencies in the 824-869 MHZ range. With 30 kHz channel spacing and 3 time slots per channel, IS-136 provides 832 paired frequency/time slot combinations for digital communications.
- the IS-136 standard also allows analog communications at certain frequencies that may be reserved by a system operator for analog communications according to the TIA/EIA -553 (AMPS) standard.
- AMPS TIA/EIA -553
- IS-661 One system, which could be considered a hybrid FDMA/ TDMA/CDMA system, is described by TIA/EIA interim standard IS-661.
- IS-661 direct sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) modulation is used but orthogonality between users is provided using unique time and frequency slot combinations .
- DS-CDMA direct sequence CDMA
- IS-95A Interoperability for Mobile communications
- IS-95 operates over the same frequency range as IS-136 and also employs frequency duplexing.
- the uplink and downlink frequency bands are each divided into 20 paired, 1.25 MHZ wide, channels. Separation of user communications within the frequency bands is provided through the use of orthogonal spreading codes and power control is provided through the use of slotted time division power control groups.
- the IS-95 standard also allows analog communications at certain frequencies that may be reserved by a system operator according to the AMPS standard.
- the simplest method of overlaying FDMA/TDMA and/or CDMA systems to operate along with other systems in a common geographic region is relatively easy to implement since it simply requires that different portions of the frequency spectrum are allocated to each system. This is done, for example, in IS-95, when a system operator allocates a portion of the frequency spectrum for digital DS-CDMA communications and another portion of the frequency spectrum for analog FDMA communications using the TIA/EIA 553 (AMPS) standard.
- AMPS TIA/EIA 553
- the CDMA system may not present a significant noise source to a narrowband FDMA or FDMA/TDMA system. This is even more true as the bandwidth of the CDMA system increases. Thus, if the bandwidth of the CDMA system is wide enough, simultaneous operation of a wideband CDMA system should not significantly affect a narrowband FDMA or FDMA/TDMA system. However, the interference generated by a narrowband FDMA or FDMA/TDMA system presents a rather significant amount of interference to a wideband CDMA system prohibiting simultaneous operation of both. For the 1900 MHZ personal communications service
- the present invention provides a method and apparatus for operating a telecommunications network including a code division multiple access (CDMA) communications system and a frequency division multiple access/time division multiple access (FDMA/TDMA) communications system within a common geographic region using a common frequency range for both systems .
- CDMA code division multiple access
- FDMA/TDMA frequency division multiple access/time division multiple access
- the transmission and reception of narrowband FDMA/TDMA signals on a plurality of radio frequency channels within the FDMA/TDMA system is synchronized such that at least one time slot on each radio frequency channel is reserved for CDMA transmissions.
- the transmission and reception of CDMA signals in the CDMA system is then performed during the free time slots. In this manner the transmissions of the FDMA/TDMA system and the CDMA system are made time orthogonal to one another. By using the principle of time orthogonality, no special filtering, frequency planning, or antenna placement is required. As all of the transceivers in a typical radio base station are synchronized to the same reference, no special equipment is required in the FDMA/ TDMA base station.
- radio base station circuitry located in each cell of a cellular radio communication network includes a FDMA/TDMA radio base station, operating according to the Group Speciale Mobile (GSM) system standard, and a wideband CDMA radio base station, operating within a bandwidth of on the order of 10 MHZ.

- the bandwidth of the FDMA/TDMA and CDMA radio base stations overlap in a common frequency range.
- the radio base station circuitry further includes a base station controller for synchronizing the operation of the FDMA/TDMA and DS-CDMA radio base stations.
- Each of the FDMA/TDMA and CDMA radio base stations transmits on a downlink radio channel to FDMA/TDMA and CDMA mobile stations, respectively, and receives on an uplink radio channel, from FDMA/TDMA and CDMA mobile stations, respectively.
- the operation of the FDMA/TDMA and CDMA base stations is made time orthogonal by reserving at least one time slot of TDMA frames in which the FDMA/TDMA base station transmits and receives for CDMA base station transmission and reception.
- the base station controller synchronizes the operation of the FDMA/TDMA and CDMA base station so that the system operates in a non- interfering manner.
- the FDMA/TDMA radio base stations operate according to the IS-136 system standard.
- the operation of the FDMA/TDMA and CDMA base stations is made orthogonal by reserving at least one time frame of a consecutive series of TDMA time frames in which the FDMA/TDMA base station transmits and receives for CDMA base station transmission and reception.
