Method for establishing a connection with a mobile subscriber and system for implementing the method
Patent number: 4672655Abstract: To establish a connection between a stationary subscriber connected to a telephone system and a mobile subscriber, call signals are transmitted via a call center, an earth radio station and a satellite to a plurality of transceivers distributed over an area. From at least one of these transceivers the call signals are transmitted to the mobile subscriber. This avoids annoying changes in delay in modulation offering trunks which are now no longer required between the call center and the transceivers as well as interference produced by such changes in delay in the simultaneous reception by two adjacent transceivers. All transceivers can therefore operate at the same carrier frequency and simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1984Date of Patent: June 9, 1987Assignee: ANT Nachrichtentechnik GmbHInventor: Harry Koch
