Abstract: A method and system of transferring information from a RF receiver to a processor under control of a program stored by the processor is disclosed. Information is transmitted with a RF transmitter to the RF receiver. The RF receiver signals the processor on a transmission medium of the processor used for transmission of information by the processor that received information is stored within a memory of the receiver. The transfer of the stored information from the memory of the receiver to a memory of the processor on the transmission medium is controlled with the program. The information in the memory of the processor is processed with an application program stored in the memory of the processor.

Abstract: A system and method for transmission of information subject to fading by using a RF carrier modulated with a subcarrier modulated with the information. The system has a processor for providing first and second encoded information streams each comprising the information to be transmitted with the second stream being delayed by a time delay interval with respect to the first stream which is equal to or greater than the fading interval. The first and second information streams are modulated on cycles of the subcarrier to produce first and second parallel information streams. At least one receiver having a detector receives and detects the transmitted first and second parallel information streams. At least one processor determines if faded information is present in the detected first and second parallel information streams.

Abstract: A paging network is disclosed which utilizes a plurality of distributed switches to transmit pages on a non-real time basis to achieve efficient and low cost transmission. Each of the switches processes packets of pages received from the network. Each of the switches also processes pages into packets of pages to be transmitted to another switch in the network or into batches of pages to be transmitted by a local paging service if the switch is a local switch. The network dynamically programs the reception channel(s) of the paging receivers in response to traffic conditions of a local switch or in accordance with service options specified by a subscriber to a local paging service. The digits of the paging receiver identification code are transmitted in an order of increasing significance to conserve battery life of the paging receivers. Pages may be initiated by placing a local call to any lata switch in the network and service options may be varied by placing of a local call to a lata switch.

Abstract: A paging receiver (10) is disclosed which is compatible with transmissions from analog or digital paging transmitters. The paging receiver has a command structure which permits it to be dynamically programmable to change its functionality including programming of the channel frequencies which the paging receiver is to receive. The programmability of the channel frequencies permits the paging receiver to be used for making national, regional, remote area, local area, and sublocal area pages, and pages to a group in the local area and to switch from channel frequencies which are heavily used during peak paging times to lesser used channels. The paging receiver transmits the paging receiver identification code digits in an order of increasing significance which significantly lessens power consumption for all paging receivers tuned to a particular frequency for determining if a page is to be received which prolongs paging receiver battery life.
