IPC: H04W8/20
Filed: 1997-06-24
Abstract: A communication device locates a preferable wireless service provider in a multi-service provider environment using a frequency band search schedule. Initially, the communications device registers with a less preferred service provider in a first frequency band. While remaining registered with the less preferred service provider, the device examines several frequency bands in the order specified by the frequency band search schedule. A frequency band is examined by dividing the frequency band into many sub-bands, and by locating the strongest signal above a threshold within the sub-band being examined. The examination continues until a second frequency band having a more preferred service provider is located. The communication device then registers with the more preferred service provider. The order of search of the frequency spectrum may be based upon registration history of the communication device.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for spatially combining a large number of optical signals of
different wavelengths carried on optical fibers (12) from laser sources (10). A dispersive optical
device, disclosed as a grating (16), combines the multiple signals into a composite beam. Then a
sample of the composite beam is analyzed by passing it through tunable etalon (26) and onto a
sensor (30). The etalon (16) is successively tuned to passbands, each of which corresponds to the
wavelength of each of the optical signals in turn. The sensor (30) measures angular deviation of
each beam caused by wavelength changes, and generate control signals (on lines 36) to adjust each
wavelength at its laser source. Thus the apparatus provides for reliable multiplexing of a relatively
large numbers of laser sources (10), while the etalon (16) and sensor (30) operate in conjunction
with a controller (32), which also generates wavelength control signals for the lasers (10), to
ensure accurate beam alignment and more efficient multiplexing.
