Design and Performance Analysis of Integrated an Advanced, Narrowband VoiceData Mobile Radio System
Harold P. Stern, H. Sobol · 1995
Abstruct- Private land mobile communications have experienced significant demand for increased capacity and for new services, but congestion within the currently allocated 450 and 800 MHz bands has severely limited the capability of presentgeneration systems to meet this demand. This paper proposes a narrowband integrated voicddata mobile radio system which triples current voice traffic capacity and simultaneously provides capacity for mobile data communications such as mobile data terminals, automatic vehicle location, and mobile facsimile by utilizing the silence gaps inherent in speech. The system is designed to fit within the narrowband 25 kHz channels in the 450 and 800 MHz frequency bands, and thus the system can replace existing private land mobile radio systems with minimum impact. The centerpiece of the system design is an evolutionary multiplexing and access control technique known as Packetized Data, Voice Dedicated (PDVD) Burst Switching which allows transmission of data within the silence gaps inherent in speech. Simulation results for various voice and data traffic loads show the flexibility and efficiency of the proposed narrowband integrated voiceldata mobile radio system.
