Hi w molloy,

In your post you quoted Renetech followed by your reply:

"That is to say, IDC was the first to patent a
system for mobile or fixed wireless radios that converts an analog signal to digital, compresses
the signal, merges the compressed signal with other compressed signals into a single transmit
channel bit stream ..., etc. In other words, TDMA.

Actually - no. The abstract quoted here doesn't describe TDMA.
This casts doubt on whether Renetech knows what he is talking about. There again, I might be accused of being anal. Lets move on."

I would like to request that you clarify this point as specifically as possible. What does the cited patent describe if not TDMA? Did he cite the wrong patent? Does the patent he cite fall short of claiming invention for TDMA? Which patent (or set of patents) would qualify for that title and who owns it?

Renetech's claim is that IDC holds the gatekeeper patents for TDMA. Apparently you dispute that claim. Please do not move on so quickly. As you are a professional telecom engineer it makes sense for me to request more detailed information about this matter from you. If you would prefer to PM me about this to spare the thread then I welcome the reply.

Renetech's synopsis can be helpful to elevate the discussion but only if further responses continue to add information to the debate.
