Abstract
A selective call receiver system includes a plurality of base sites capable of simultaneous operation. Each base site includes a transmitter and a base receiver capable of measuring the signal strength of a received signal. A controller coupled to the plurality of base sites, forwards an address to the plurality of base sites. The transmitters thereafter, simultaneously transmit the address to at least one of a plurality of selective call receivers having acknowledge-back capability. At least one of the plurality of base receivers receive an acknowledge-back signal from the at least one of the selective call receivers responding to the transmitted address. The signal strength of the acknowledge-back signal is detected by the plurality of base receivers receiving the acknowledge-back signal. The controller has a determining circuit for determining a value representing the signal strength of the acknowledge-back signal, and an encoder, coupled to the determining circuit, encoding a single copy of the message in a first format or a second format. The encoder encodes the message to derive the single copy of the message in the first format when the value determined by the determining ci…
