FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXED ACKNOWLEDGE BACK PAGING SYSTEM

摘要

An acknowledge back (ack-back) paging system is provided which includes a central station which transmits a group of message signals to an group of ack-back pagers which are addressed as a group. The users of the group of addressed ack-back pagers indicate a response to their respective pagers thus providing ack-back data. The pagers in the group of addressed ack-back pagers then simultaneously transmit back to the central station their ack-back data on different frequency sub-bands, a different frequency sub-band being allocated to each of the pagers in the group.
