Abstract
A wireless telephony system is described wherein remotely distributed transceivers, each of which has only a single antenna for receiving signals from wireless telephones, and such remote transceivers are located close enough so adjacent transceivers receive signals from the same wireless telephones to provide reverse link antenna diversity to help prevent loss of signal from a wireless telephone.
