ABSTRACT:
In a wireless communications network having a plurality of header stations (12) in bidirectional wireless communication with one or more mobile communication units (10), a method of managing ownership of the mobile units. In accordance with the method the following steps are executed. A first step receives, with a mobile communication unit located at a position (44) that is served by two or more of the header stations, a transmission from each of the header stations. The received transmissions are received over the wireless communications network and each uniquely identify the transmitting header station. The method further includes a step of selecting, with the mobile communication unit, one of the header stations as a header station to manage future wireless communications for the mobile communications unit. A further step is performed if the selected header station is not a header station that is presently managing wireless communications for the mobile communications unit. This further step transmits a message over the wireless network from the mobile communications unit to the selected header station requesting that the mobile communications unit be assigned to the selected header station.
