System for communicating messages via a forward overhead control channel    
United States Patent5873043   
Link to this pagehttp://www.wikipatents.com/5873043.html
Inventor(s)Comer; Edward Irby (Marietta, GA)
AbstractA system for communicating multiple page messages or pages via a forward overhead control channel (FOCC) of a cellular network control channel to a cellular-compatible receiving device and combining the data obtained from each received page to form an aggregate message comprising a data sequence. A cellular communications device operating in a normal state responds to a page received via the FOCC by comparing the received page to one or more masks maintained in its memory. If the received page contains a predetermined characteristic and matches a corresponding mask maintained by the receiving device, then it responds by transitioning from a normal state to a receive device identifier state. In the receive device identifier state, the cellular communications device monitors the FOCC for a page having a special identifier assigned to that device. Each received page is compared to a mask corresponding to the special identifier and maintained in memory of the selected device. In response to a match, the cellular communications device transitions from the receive device identifier state to a receive data state and operates to monitor the FOCC for pages containing commands. In the receive data state, the cellular communications device can respond to pages containing commands by accepting data values for each received command page and combining the data values to form a data sequence.
