US 5,854,979 A · Paging signal transmission equipment for the radio paging system and its signal transmission method

Abstract

A paging signal transmission equipment and its signal transmission method having the capablity of increasing the rate of meaningful paging request signals to be transmitted within a time period of one transmission cycle are provided. The paging signal transmission equipment comprises the following parts: a paging request receiving part for receiving paging request signals; queuing buffers, each storing different form of paging request signals; a buffer selecting part for sorting the paging request signals to each form of signal and for distributing each form of paging request signal to a corresponding queuing buffer; counting circuits corresponding to each queuing buffer for counting the number of signals stored in the queuing buffer; a timer circuit for calculating a time period required for transmitting paging signals corresponding to paging request signals being stored in each queuing buffer, for instructing the buffer selecting part to stop reception of paging request signal when a time period calculated has reached to a time period of a transmission cycle; a transmission schedule part for receiving forms of paging signals to be transmitted in a period of the same transmission cycle from the timer circuit in each transmission cycle, for aligning each form of signal in a sequence to minimize insertion of dummy signals; a transmission switching part for outputting signals stored in each queuing buffer in the scheduled sequence; and a signal transmission part for converting paging request signals to paging signals to be transmitted.
