System and method for concurrent wireless voice and data communications
First Claim
1. A method, comprising for concurrent wireless voice and data communications between first and second transceiving units, the first transceiving unit tethered to a voice network and to a data network and the second transceiving unit being mobile, the method comprising:
- (a) providing plural frequency, time-division-multiple-access/time-division-duplex, channels;
(b) combining and transmitting both voice information and data information on the plural channels, by;
packetizing the voice information into a first dedicated set of time slots within a time frame associated with a first plurality of time frames;
packetizing the data information into a second dedicated set of time slots associated with the first plurality of time frames, a first time slot of the second dedicated set of time slots comprising a forward error correction code shared between the first time slot and a second time slot of the second dedicated set of time slots; and
wherein each time slot of the first and second dedicated sets of time slots has a fixed time slot position for the first plurality of time frames.

Abstract
Unitary transceiving units employ a multiple carrier, time-division-multiple-access (TDMA), time-division-duplex (TDD protocol to conduct concurrent wireless voice and data communications wherein a first transceiving base station unit tethered to a network interface wirelessly communicates to a second, mobile transceiving unit. The mobile transceiving unit wirelessly transmits and receives packetized voice and data information that is separated and routed to respective voice or data networks. The unitary mobile transceiving unit thus functions as a concurrent voice phone and data communications terminal/computer.

13. A unitary transceiving unit comprising:
-
(a) a transceiver employing multiple frequency time-division-multiple-access time-division-duplex channels that supports concurrent wireless voice and data communications; and (b) a baseband processor including a CODEC and at least one sub-processor to process audio, generate tones, provide echo canceling, and to program slot and frame timing for the transceiver, the baseband processor configured to; packetize voice information into a first dedicated set of time slots within a time frame associated with a first plurality of time frames; packetize data information into a second dedicated set of time slots associated with the first plurality of time frames, a first time slot of the second dedicated set of time slots comprising a forward error correction code shared between the first time slot and a second time slot of the second dedicated set of time slots; and wherein each time slot of the first and second dedicated sets of time slots has a fixed time slot position for the first plurality of time frames. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
receiving voice information at a first transceiving unit over a first dedicated set of time slots associated with a plurality of time frames of a wireless channel; receiving data information from the first transceiving unit over a second dedicated set of time slots associated with the plurality of time frames of the wireless channel, a first time slot of the second dedicated set of time slots comprising a forward error correction code shared between the first time slot and a second time slot of the second dedicated set of time slots; and wherein each time slot of the first and second dedicated sets of time slots has a fixed time slot position for the plurality of time frames. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
