  • Method and apparatus for maintaining communications when radio communication is unavailable
    Patent number: 7433367
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining communications between a mobile computer and a mobile subscriber unit is disclosed. The method and apparatus comprise determining whether a connection is available between the mobile subscriber unit and a radio communications system.
