摘要: A data communications system (Figure 1) that covers a geographic area divided into plurality of non-overlapping zone 2) and includes general controller (GCC, 104), channel modules (CCM 106, 108, 110, 112) associated transmitters (114, 120, 124) receivers (116, 118, 122, 126, 128), portable radios (130, 132, 134). Message signals carrying alphanumeric information are communication between the GCC (104) 134) by way radio channel. Each CCM (106, takes signal strength measurement every time it receives message from 132 or The gathers measurements 128) receiving same computes an adjusted for each zone. then selects having largest determining location transmitted signal. Whenever transmits to radio, transmitter is used last transmission Since can be simultaneously transmitting in other zones using non-interfering 124), throughput greatly enhanced.
