A MULTIPLE USE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A wireless communication system in which plural base stations communicate with plural mobile stations using a control slot and plural voice (or data) slots, dynamically allocates which of a predetermined set of frequencies are used by a given base station at a given time. The base stations monitor the predetermined set of frequencies to determine which frequencies are being used within which slots within the range of radio reception of the base station. Also a system and method for operating a wireless telephone system, particularly a wireless Private Branch Exchange (PBX), as both a voice system and a pager system, including a protocol for communicating both voice conversations and display data to a remote unit. Remote units, which may be pagers, personal communications units, mobile telephones, communicate with the wired portion of the system using the same protocols and signalling techniques.
