摘要： A table (328) is created (402) for mapping, for ones of a plurality of portable subscriber units (122), a plurality of message types to a corresponding plurality of locations. A message matching one of the plurality of message types is then received (404) by a controller (112), the message intended for a portable subscriber unit. In response, the controller and the portable subscriber unit cooperate to determine (406) the location of the portable subscriber unit. The controller sends (428) the message to the portable subscriber unit when the location matches one of the plurality of locations corresponding to the one of the plurality of message types.

摘要： A portable subscriber unit (122) provides (402) communications for a user, and monitors (404) a parameter indicative of communication quality during the communications. The portable subscriber unit compares (406) the parameter with a predetermined threshold; and when the communication quality deteriorates (408) such that the parameter reaches the predetermined threshold, the portable subscriber unit determines (412) geographic coordinates corresponding to the location at which the communication difficulty occurred, and adds (414) a communication difficulty report identifying the parameter and the geographic coordinates to a record of communication difficulty reports stored in the portable subscriber unit. When the portable subscriber unit receives (502) a request for the record of communication difficulty reports from a fixed portion (102) of a two-way wireless communication system, the portable subscriber unit communicates (504) the record of communication difficulty reports to the fixed portion.

摘要： A wireless communication system conducts (402) communications between a fixed portion (102) of the wireless communication system and a portable subscriber unit (122) carried by a user; and records (404) a relevant aspect of the communications, thereby producing recorded information. The system determines (405) a current time of day and a current position of the user and makes (406) a comparison of the recorded information with the current time of day and the current position of the user to determine whether an alert is necessary, and generates (412) the alert when the comparison determines the alert is necessary.

摘要： A wireless communication system receives (402) a communication specifying a portable subscriber unit (122) for which the communication is intended, and further indicating an originator location at which an originator of the communication is positioned. The system determines (404) a recipient location at which the portable subscriber unit is positioned. The system then calculates (406) a distance between the originator location and the recipient location, and routes (412) the communication to the portable subscriber unit when the distance meets a distance criterion.

摘要： A plurality of wireless transceivers (114) for communicating messages to SCRs (Selective Call Radios) (116) include a radio transceiver (402, 404, 406, 408), and a processing system (412) coupled thereto. A periodic communication cycle (FIG. 9) is divided into a plurality of time slots, each time slot having a duration equal to or greater than the predetermined propagation delay of a signal transmitted between wireless transceivers. Each of the wireless transceivers is assigned to a corresponding one of the time slots. To transmit a message from a selected one of the wireless transceivers to a targeted SCR, the processing system of each of the wireless transceivers is adapted to locate the targeted SCR. Once the targeted SCR is located, the processing system of the wireless transceiver co-located with the targeted SCR is adapted to enable the radio transceiver to monitor transmission energy in the communication medium during a time slot immediately preceding the time slot assigned to said wireless transceiver. If the energy measured is below a predetermined threshold, the processor is adapted to cause the radio transceiver to transmit at least a portion of the message to the targeted transceiver beginning at the time slot assigned to said wireless transceiver.

摘要： A subscriber unit (122) acquires (604) communications with a first network (102) of a messaging system, the first network able to communicate at a first bandwidth. Thereafter, the subscriber unit determines (606) that it momentarily needs to communicate at a second bandwidth higher than the first bandwidth. In response, the subscriber unit reacquires (612) communications with a second network (115) different from the first network and able to communicate at the second bandwidth.

摘要： A battery saving interval utilized for communicating with a portable subscriber unit (122) in a radio communication system is dynamically adjusted. An occurrence of a predetermined triggering event associated with the portable subscriber unit is observed (504), and the battery saving interval utilized for communicating with the portable subscriber unit is adjusted (506) in response to the predetermined triggering event, while battery saving intervals of other portable subscriber units in the system are left unchanged.

摘要： In an ad hoc wireless network having a plurality of members (100) a master, while communicating on a first communication channel, recognizes (202) a need for assistance in managing the network. In response to the need, the master negotiates (204) with a member of the ad hoc wireless network for the member to become a sub-master. The sub-master then assumes (206) management of a portion of the plurality of members. The sub-master and the portion then communicate (208) on a second communication channel negotiated with the master.

摘要： At least two subsets (204, 208) of simulcast transmitters are defined (802) that produce differing simulcast distortion characteristics at a receiver (210), and a message is sent (806) in a simulcast transmission from one of the at least two subsets. The message is then repeated (808, 810, 806) in a simulcast transmission from another of the at least two subsets, until all of the at least two subsets have transmitted the message.
