Abstract: A simple and flexible over-air protocol for
use with a mobile telephone system, having hand-held
telephones in a microcell or other type of cellular
communication system. A method in which user stations
communicate with one or more base stations to place and
receive telephone calls, in which the user stations are
provided a secure voice or data link and have the
ability to handoff calls between base stations while
such calls are in progress. Each base station has a set
of "air channels" to which it transmits in sequence. 
The air channels supported by each base station are
called that base station's "polling loop". A user
station receives general polling information on an
unoccupied air channel, transmits responsive information
to the base station, and awaits acknowledgment from the
base station. Each base station may therefore
simultaneously maintain communication with as many user
stations as there are air channels in its polling loop.
The ability of a user station to communicate on any
unoccupied air channel makes the protocol air-channel
agile, while the stability of user station and base
station clocks may define air channels, gaps, and minor
frames.
