  • Patent number: 5142694
    Abstract: A RF reporting system is provided that effectively increases the coverage or serving area from an associated base station site. According to the invention, an RF communication system is arranged with a multiplicity of levels designated 0-n. The RF system has at least one base site designated as level 0 and at least one reporting unit each at levels 1-n. All units that communicate directly with a base site are designated level 1. All units that communicate directly with a level 1 unit are designated level 2. All units that communicate directly with a level 2 unit are designated level 3. This process continues to level n units, which communicate directly with level (n-1) units. With this arrangement, when the base site wishes to communicate with a desired target unit of level k, a path is created from the base site (level 0) to the target unit (level k) via intermediate units of intermediate levels 1, 2, . . . , k-2, k-1.
