Abstract

A multiprotocol radio communications network that includes a first plurality of stationary transceivers for handling low-tier traffic and a second plurality of stationary transceivers for handling high-tier traffic. The stationary transceivers communicate information to a mobile transceiver at different information rates. A switching center automatically switches communication between the mobile transceiver and the stationary transceivers as the mobile transceiver moves between areas of different traffic density.
