摘要 |
The present invention relates to a portable transceiver and a remote terminal station each using at least two antennas with different polarization transmission capabilities for an adaptive retransmission technique. In the present adaptive retransmission technique, the terminal station transmits the same preamble signal in at least two time slots of a frame period of a time division sequence using the antenna receiving the strongest signal from the transceiver in the immediately prior frame period followed by a binary message signal using the same antenna. The transceiver receives each of the preamble transmissions from the terminal station via a separate one of differently oriented antennas and determines which antenna received the strongest signal. The message signal from the terminal station is then received via the antenna of the transceiver having received the strongest signal and also sends its response message signal on that antenna during a separate time slot of a frame period.
