Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting and receiving data using a wireless communications device that is enabled for higher multislot classes in which a plurality of uplink timeslots of each TDMA frame is reserved for transmitting data and a plurality of downlink timeslots of each TDMA frame is reserved for receiving data, the method comprising: receiving TDMA data on at least one of the plurality of downlink timeslots reserved for receiving data; switching a transceiver of the wireless communications device from a receiver mode to a transmitter mode; transmitting TDMA data on at least one of the plurality of uplink timeslots reserved for transmitting data; switching the transceiver of the wireless communications device from the transmitter mode to the receiver mode; and measuring, with the transceiver operating in the receiver mode, a received signal strength indication (RSSI) by initiating collection of RSSI signal samples prior to complete stabilization of a phase-locked loop (PLL) of the transceiver.
