Reference channel maintenance method for a wide area paging system

摘要

A reference channel maintenance method for a wide area paging system connected to a public telephone network and having at least one reference frequency channel through which a paging signal can be transmitted is provided. When an incoming paging signal is not received from a public telephone network and transmitted to a desired wide area radio pager through the reference frequency channel within a predetermined time period, a dummy paging signal is generated and transmitted to the wide area radio pager through the reference frequency channel.
