Abstract: A telephone communication system addresses calls to a particular subscriber via both a wired terminal and through the wired terminal by radio to a wireless communicator device. The wired terminal is hard wired to a telephone network and the wireless device is coupled by radio to the wired terminal which is in turn hardwired to the telephone network. Both the wired terminal and the wireless communicator ring in response to an incoming call and the call may be answered by the subscriber via either device.

Abstract: An intelligent wireless communication base station provides communication between individual base stations over an RF radio channel. A control unit in each base station utilizes this communication to facilitate each base station to gather system data regarding the system arrangement of nearby base stations and to facilitate handovers of mobile wireless personal communicators from one base station to a another base station. This control unit is under stored program control and gathers information concerning set up channels of nearby radio ports, a developed list or table of neighbor base stations and signal strength values of nearby channels. Voice channels may be bridged allowing two personal communicators to communicate with each other through a single base station.
