Abstract
A packetized cellular system in which a mobile quasi-periodically transmits a beacon signal containing an ID number to a first base station in the cell in which it is located for storage with the ID's of other active mobiles in the cell. A copy of a list of the active mobiles in that cell is transmitted to all adjacent cells where they are placed on non-active list. Control of a mobile is handed-off to a second base station upon the receipt of a transmitted ID number of the mobile at the second base station. The mobile is then listed as active in the database of the second base station and non-active in the first base station.
