Abstract

See full text

In a demand assignment TDMA communication system, a central station transmits a frame sync and a polling signal at periodic intervals to terminal stations to elicit a response therefrom. Each terminal station transmits a test signal in response to reception of the frame sync. The central station or a repeater station detects the strength of the test signals received by a regular-channel receiver and a spare-channel receiver and determines if each of the receivers is operating normally or abnormally. The response received by the regular-channel receiver is supplied to a utilization circuit when this receiver is determined as operating normally and the response received by the spare-channel receiver is supplied instead to the utilization circuit when the regular-channel receiver is determined as operating abnormally while the spare-channel receiver is determined as operating normally.
