1. A method of radio frequency (RF) communications providing integrated location, voice, data, facsimile and other services, comprising the steps of:
- (a) modulating a multiplexed data stream;
(b) dividing a transmission channel into a plurality of sub-channels;
(c) sequentially selecting the sub-channels using a correlated portion of a pseudo-noise (PN) code;
(d) synthesizing sub-frequencies associated with each selected sub-channel;
(e) encoding the correlated portion of the PN code into the synthesized sub-frequencies associated with each selected sub-channel; and
(f) combining the modulated, multiplexed data stream with the synthesized and encoded sub-frequencies to create a transmission signal.

Abstract
An integrated radio frequency communication system, known as a Location-Ruled Radio-Integrated Network (LORRAINE) system, provides integrated voice, data and location services. The radio frequency communications system combines time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques with optional time division duplexing (TDD) or frequency division duplexing (FDD) techniques to provide a plurality of time slot channels for these services. Spread spectrum techniques help reduce noise and interference in the system.

9. A method of radio frequency (RF) communications providing integrated location, voice, data, facsimile and other services, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving a spread spectrum transmission signal on a reception channel; (b) dividing the reception channel into a plurality of sub-channels, selecting one or more of the sub-channels using a correlated portion of a pseudo-noise (PN) code, synthesizing sub-frequencies associated with each selected sub-channel, and encoding the correlated portion of the PN code into the synthesized sub-frequencies associated with each selected sub-channel; and (c) combining the received signal with the synthesized and encoded sub-frequencies to re-create a transmitted data stream, and de-modulating the data stream. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
