ABSTRACT:
A substitute for the uplink infrastructure associated with typical two-way paging protocols. Instead of employing a microcellular arrangement of paging receiver sites, wherein each cell is served by its own receiver site, multiple cells are serviced from a single receiver site. The operation of the protocol need not be modified. A region surrounding the single receiver site is divided into angular sectors. Each angular sector has an associated beam of a multi-element antenna array. The sectors represent the cells used by prior art two-way paging infrastructure. This approach substantially reduces the cost of constructing and operating a two-way pager infrastructure.
