Abstract

See full text

A cordless telephone provides extended operating range and battery life. In one embodiment, a time division duplex communications protocol is used when the measured signal strength or the signal quality between the handset and a corresponding base unit does not satisfy a known criteria, such as a predetermined threshold. The telephone is also configured to operate using a frequency division duplex communications protocol when the signal strength or signal quality between the handset and the base unit satisfies the known criteria. Other aspects of the invention are directed to measuring the received signal strength of the communications channel after initial communications is established, and selecting the communications protocol that is most advantageous in light of the measured signal strength and/or signal conditions.
