Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) communication system transmits information including multiple data formats. The RF communication system receives the information (102) and parses the information into a plurality of nibbles (126), each of the nibbles comprising a predetermined number of bits. The plurality of nibbles are then provided to a terminal (10) as a message (154), the message is encoded by the terminal (10), and the encoded message is transmitted to a transmitter (15) for transmission therefrom.
Claims34
A method in a radio frequency (RF) communication system for transmitting information comprising multiple data formats, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving said information;
- (b) parsing the information into a plurality of nibbles, each of said plurality of nibbles comprising a predetermined number of bits;
- (c) providing said plurality of nibbles to a terminal as a message;
- (d) encoding said message;
- and
- (e) providing said encoded message to transmitting means for transmission therefrom.
A selective call system comprising:
- input means for receiving information, said information being received in one of a plurality of data formats;
- parsing means for parsing said information into a plurality of nibbles, each of said plurality of nibbles comprising a predetermined number of bits;
- output means for providing said plurality of nibbles as a selective call message in a predetermined format to a selective call terminal;
- selective call terminal means for encoding said selective call message;
- transmitting means for transmitting said encoded selective call message;
- and
- at least one receiving means for receiving said encoded selective call message.
A data handler for receiving information in one of a plurality of data formats and for providing said information to a selective call terminal, the data handler comprising:
- receiving means for receiving said information;
- parsing means for parsing said information into a plurality of nibbles;
- conversion means for converting said plurality of nibbles into a predetermined format to form selective call information;
- and
- transmitting means for providing said selective call information to said selective call terminal.
A method in a radio frequency (RF) communication system for transmitting information comprising multiple data formats, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving said information;
- (b) parsing the information into a plurality of portions, each of said plurality of portions comprising a predetermined number of bits;
- (c) providing each of said plurality of portions to a terminal as one of a plurality of messages;
- (d) encoding each of said plurality of messages;
- and
- (e) providing each of said plurality of encoded messages to transmitting means for transmission therefrom.
A selective call system comprising:
- input means for receiving information, said information being received in one of a plurality of data formats;
- parsing means for parsing said information into a plurality of portions, each of said plurality of portions comprising a predetermined number of bits;
- output means for providing each of said plurality of portions as one of a plurality of selective call messages in a predetermined format to a selective call terminal;
- selective call terminal means for encoding said plurality of selective call messages;
- transmitting means for transmitting said plurality of encoded selective call messages;
- and
- at least one receiving means for receiving said plurality of selective call messages.
A data handler for receiving information in one of a plurality of data formats and for providing said information to a selective call terminal, the data handler comprising:
- receiving means for receiving said information;
- parsing means for parsing said information into a plurality of portions;
- conversion means for converting each of said plurality of portions into a predetermined format to form selective call information;
- and
- transmitting means for providing said selective call information to said selective call terminal.
