ABSTRACT:
An adaptive paging system includes a paging terminal that is operable to receive paging signals and transmit them up to a satellite (28) and down through a downlink (312) to stick locations (314), (316), (318), (320) and (322). Each of the sticks (314)-(322) is associated with a given locale (324), (326), (328), (330) and (332). The sticks are operable in a simulcast mode and also in a cellular mode. In the cellular mode, each of the sticks (314)-(322) is operable to receive a separate message that is distinct from the other cells. Pagers (36), having a known location at any of the locales (324)-(332) can then be selectively addressed and data transferred thereto. To prevent interference between adjacent RF locales, adjacent cells are not turned on during transmission to select cells in the cellular mode. These can be turned on at a different time. Orthogonal coding can be utilized such that adjacent cells can be turned on, thus increasing throughput.
