<p>1,190,865. Automatic exchange systems. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP. 4 April, 1968 [12 April, 1967], No. 16161/68. Heading H4K. In a telephone exchange which can interconnect wired subscribers to radio subscribers over any one of a plurality of radio links and in which an allotter allots from the free radio links one to be used for the next radio call, at least some of the radio subscribers have wired line circuits (through which connections cannot be made but) which store the busy/free states of the subscribers' mobile equipments. The system is generally similar to that disclosed in Specification 1,144,010, the provision of the wired line circuits, however, allows the state of a mobile subscriber's equipment to be tested without engaging one of the radio links. These line circuits are similar to ordinary wired subscriber line circuits and thus special services such as subscriber absent service, routing dead number calls to operators and class of service facilities may be provided for mobile subscribers as for ordinary subscribers. It also facilitates charging. The subscriber's circuit for a mobile subscriber in addition to the usual meter has an additional meter which responds to special metering pulses produced by the exchange during both incoming and outgoing calls of a radio subscriber to incur an additional charge for a radio call. For a call to a radio subscriber the exchange interrogates that subscriber's wired line circuit and if the relays in this circuit indicate that the subscriber is free and available and if this is the case the call then proceeds as in Specification. 1,144,010. For call in either direction the line circuit is updated when the subscriber changes the busy/free state of his radio equipment or indicates that he will be absent from his station. Other radio subscribers (of a more mobile nature) do not have a wired line circuit and calls to them are automatically routed to an operator. Calls to unused numbers are routed to a speaking machine. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1,010,299.</p> |
