Abstract

A hybrid signaling scheme is proposed for wireless access communications systems for fixed wireless access (FWA) and to support an interface to service providers who may wish to offer personal communications systems (PCS) applications to the end users. This scheme is effectively made up of 5 physical signaling channels. These channels comprise a dedicated time slot for alerting, an unprotected downlink bit per frame per time slot for power control, 9 out-of-band bits per frame per time slot for associated signaling, 14 downlink bits for synchronization and in-band signaling using the 64 bearer bits per frame. In addition to the alerting function the dedicated time slot will also be used for emergency 911 alerting, blocked port notification, broadcast messages and service provider identification
