AUTOMATED SEAMLESS CELLULAR TELEPHONE NETWORK

摘要

A system for establishing a communication link between a caller and a mobile communication device that includes a mobile telephone and a paging device capable of receiving information transmitted from a paging network. In addition to the mobile communication device, the system includes a telephone network, a first mobile switching center, a conference bridge, a paging network, and a second mobile switching center. The first mobile switching center receives a telephone call transmitted over the telephone network using an identification number of the mobile telephone. If the mobile communication device is not located in the area covered by the mobile switching center, the mobile switching center forwards the received telephone call to a conference bridge using a bridge number assigned to the mobile communication device. The conference bridge receives the forwarded telephone call and transmits an identification number of the paging device in the mobile communication device to the paging network. The paging network receives the paging number and transmits a page to the paging device using the paging number. In response to the page, the mobile communication device calls the conference bridge using a bridge callback number. In response to the callback from the mobile communication device, the conference bridge connects the caller to the mobile telephone in the mobile communication device.
