First Claim
1. A digital radio time-division multiple access (TDMA) system including a land-line telephone system interface and at least one base-site which generates at least one radio carrier frequency, the digital radio time-division multiple access (TDMA) system utilizing an equipment synchronization scheme to maintain equipment synchronization when required, the digital radio time-division multiple access (TDMA) system comprising:
- means for compressing information input from at least two message channels from the land-line telephone system into one information block for transmission in one TDM timeslot;
means for inserting a block synchronization scheme into said one information block;
means for reserving a portion of said information block for the equipment synchronization scheme;
means for using a fraction of said reserved portion for said compressed information when equipment synchronization is not required;
means for conveying at least said one TDM timeslot from the land-line telephone system interface to a base-site; and
means, coupled to said means for conveying, for converting said compressed information of at least said one TDM timeslot to coded information for at least two information timeslots for radio transmission on a radio carrier frequency.

Abstract
A digital cellular time-division multiple access (TDMA) system including a cellular switch and at least one base site employing 6:1 packing of transcoded information. The system incorporates the VSELP speech encoding algorithm to transcode data input from a cellular switch and a unique packing scheme to compress six messages channels worth of transcoded data into one 20 msec, 160 frame information block for transmission in one TDM timeslot. The compressed transcoded data is transmitted to a base-site on a T1 link where the six message channels worth of transcoded data is un-packed and coded. The coded information is then separated into two groups of three air-interface timeslots where two separate transmitters transmit one group each of three air-interface timeslots on two separate radio carrier frequencies.
