Abstract

An improved radio paging system providing automatic acknowledgment of message delivery, including a base station with spatially directive reception means and a pager capable of transmitting acknowledgment signals. The spatially directive reception means at the base station enhances the reception quality of the acknowledgment signals transmitted by the pager over that obtainable with conventional omnidirectional reception means, thereby compensating for the disparity in the base station and pager transmission powers.
