In a wide area cordless telephone system, an individual-call signal is generated if an incoming call from the telephone network is an individual call to one of cordless stations of a group and a group-call signal is generated if it is directed to all cordless stations of the group. A group of access units are associated with the cordless station of each group to establish a control channel and speech channels with the cordless stations. The access units respond to the individual-call signal by transmitting a speech-channel identifier to one of the cordless stations through the control channel and transmitting a ringing signal through a speech channel specified by the speech-channel identifier. In response to the group-call signal, speech-channel identifiers are successively transmitted from the access units to the cordless stations through the control channel and group ringing signals are respectively sent to the cordless stations through speech channels specified by the speech-channel identifiers. In a modified embodiment, the cordless stations receive pairing identifiers each containing a pair of an access unit identifier and a cordless station identifier and transmit a response containing one pairing identifier that specifies the own station. The access units also receive pairing identifiers from the controller for detecting a match with those received from the cordless stations. If a match is detected by each access unit, it is entitled to send a speech-channel identifier to the cordless station which is specified by the matched identifiers. <IMAGE> |
