  • TETRA is a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) system wherein 25 kHz wide channels are divided into four time slots. Each time slot has duration of 14.167 msecs and four timeslots are combined into a time frame having duration of 56.67 msecs. The time frames are combined into multiframes comprising 18 time frames. Frame number 18 is reserved as a control frame wherein control information may be communicated during an active call.
  • TDMA Time Division Multiple Access
  • TETRA communications systems may be used as commercially operated cellular communication systems. However, their main target users are organizations or groups such as emergency services . Special functions and services implemented in a TETRA system make this system especially suitable for services like police, paramedics, fire rescuers and others. One of such functions provided by a TETRA system, which is especially useful for the emergency services, is control of group calls as well as managing the membership of these groups. Other features and services provided by TETRA systems include push-to- talk channel allocation, broadcast calls etc. In addition to trunked mode operation wherein remote communication units communicate via a base station, TETRA systems provide for the possibility of communication directly between remote units without participation of the- infrastructure. This is known as Direct Mode Operation (DMO) . Communication which requires participation of the infrastructure is known as Trunked Mode Operation (TMO) .

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de communication dans un réseau de communication numérique sans fil qui comprend au moins trois unités de communication. Ce procédé consiste à: transmettre (302) des données audio dans un intervalle de temps vacant d'une porteuse RF sur une voie RF par une première unité de communication. Une deuxième unité de communication, en dépit de la transmission de la porteuse RF sur la voie RF, transmet (310) des données audio dans un autre intervalle de temps vacant de ladite porteuse RF sur ladite voie RF. Une troisième unité de communication reçoit (312) des données audio des première et deuxième unités de communication dans deux intervalles de temps de ladite porteuse RF sur ladite voie RF, et traite séparément (314) les données audio des deux intervalles de temps.
