A microcellular communication system which broadcasts its local channel block, including the control channels allotted from a total channel block to the microcellular system, on all control channels being used by the system. A mobile unit seeking access to the microcellular system initially searches the total channel block in an effort to receive the local channel block information broadcast by the microcellular system. The mobile unit compares received local channel block information with stored total channel block information and replaces its memory content with the newly received information. Periodic searching of stored channel block information is conducted to verify that the mobile unit has the relevant channel block information for the local microcellular system.
A method by which a mobile communication unit locates at least one of a plurality of control channels for controlling communication in a microcellular communication system (MCS) operating in a local area, said MCS using as control channels a subset of channels in a channel block allocated to said MCS in accordance with local channel use conditions from a total control channel block, comprising the steps of:
A method for communicating the location of at least one control channel to a mobile unit operating within a microcellular communication system (MCS) operating in a local area, said MCS using as control channels a subset of channels in a channel block allocated to said MCS in accordance with local channel use conditions from a total control channel block, comprising the steps of:
A method by which a mobile communication unit locates a control channel for controlling communication in a microcellular communication system (MCS) operating in a local area, said MCS using as control channels a subset of channels in a channel block allocated to said MCS in accordance with local channel use conditions from a total control channel block, comprising the steps of:
A microcellular communication system (MCS) operating in a local area which utilizes control channels for controlling communications between mobile units operating in said MCS, wherein said control channels are located in a range of channels allocated to said MCS in accordance with local channel use conditions from a total control channel block, wherein a number representing said range is broadcast to said mobile units along all of said control channels and said mobile units scan only said range as long as said mobile units remain in said local area to locate at least one of said control channels.
A method by which a mobile communication unit locates a control channel for controlling communication in a microcellular communication system (MCS) operating in a local area, said MCS using as control channels a subset of channels in a channel block allocated to said MCS in accordance with local channel use conditions from a total control channel block, comprising the steps of:
A method by which a mobile communication unit locates a control channel for use in controlling communication in a microcellular communication system (MCS) operating in a local area, said MCS using as control channels a subset of channels in a channel block allocated to said MCS in accordance with local channel use conditions from a total control channel block, comprising the steps of:
