The base station includes a steerable and adjustable multibeam antenna for communicating with each of the terminals which have fixedantennas. A cell controller associated with each base station allocates communication time slots so as to minimize mutual interference between base station/terminal links sharing the same time slot. Slot assignment is based on regional periodically updated, interference measurements that are stored in data bases.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 29, 1997 and granted November 20, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 29, 2017.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 29, 2019.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
