Method and apparatus for adapting omnidirectional synchronous wireless communications protocol to sectorial environments

摘要: A pager protocol that permits individual pagers to operate in an inactive mode when not being addressed save power but nonetheless also accommodates high capacity transmission schemes require non-continuous illumination of sectors occupied by pagers. Capabilities a conventional omnidirectional paging such as one the FLEX™ family may be exploited facilitate operation context non-continous illumination. transmitter transmits simulcast where all receive same message. This message includes schedule information about future transmissions Pagers then plan their switching between active and states accordance with which takes into account timetable for illuminating sectors.
