Abstract:
The valet parking and paging system is a wireless signaling apparatus that facilitates communication between a valet parking station and a client of the valet parking station. Specifically, the valet parking and paging system is a wireless signaling apparatus that exchanges status information between the valet parking station and a client. The valet parking and paging system comprises a plurality of valet units, a plurality of client units, and a base stations. The plurality of valet units comprises a collection of individual valet units. The plurality of client units comprises a collection of individual client units. Each individual valet unit selected from the plurality of valet units plugs into and is electrically connected to a location selected from the group consisting of the base station or an individual client unit selected from the plurality of client units.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for reliable, wireless group messaging or alerting in a system having a database, switch, wireless network, and a plurality of intelligent mobile receivers. A message is broadcast to and received by a selected group of the mobile receivers. The network replies to the sender with detailed information about the individual members in the group. Each of the mobile receivers in the group can acknowledge the group message back to the system such as when the message is received, when the message is read, and a response when sent. The system employs centralized management to provide the sender with response information of the mobile receivers.

Abstract:
A location reporting paging communication system comprising space satellites, ground stations and a remote receiving unit adapted to resolve a global position from signals transmitted from a communication transmitter. The subscriber in possession of the remote receiving unit updates the paging network with global positioning information. A caller paging a subscriber in possession of the remote receiving unit may request the global location of the remote receiving unit. The paging network could divulge or block such information from a caller depending on the requirements of the subscriber.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and media are provided for transmitting a message received from a paging network on a paging device to wireless or other electronic devices. The paging device establishes a radio connection with the wireless device and transmits the received messages to the wireless device through the established radio connection. In response to receiving a message from the paging device, the wireless device sends an acknowledgment to the paging network that the message was received and displays the message.
Abstract:
A portable communications device (PCD) is coupled to a first network by way of a second network. The PCD is normally in radio communication with the first network, and is coupled to the first network by way of the second network when the PCD is out of radio communication with the first network. In particular, the PCD is coupled to the second network, and is caused to leave a first network mode and enter a second network mode. A network connection is established with the first network by way of the second network, and communication with the first network is entered into by way of the second network.
Abstract:
A communication system is provided that enables a node to be identified by a controller. To establish a communication link from the node an alignment signal is received from the controller. Upon receiving the controller alignment information, the node sends a response including information the node randomly generated. The controller then responds by sending back at least a portion of the information the node randomly generated indicating that the node has been recognized by the controller.
Abstract:
A system and method for transmitting a series of pages in a communication system. The system includes a paging console for placing a plurality of pages in a queue for transmission to one or more targets devices. Each page includes a Dependent-Upon (DU) field that indicates whether the page is dependent upon an earlier page in the queue. Upon initiating a paging event, the plurality of pages are attempted based upon their order in the queue. Prior to transmitting each page, it is determined whether the DU field of that page indicates a dependency upon an earlier page. If there is no dependency, the page is attempted as normal. If the current page is dependent upon an earlier page, a record is checked to determine whether the earlier page was successful. If the earlier page was successful, the current page is attempted. If the earlier page was unsuccessful, the current page is not attempted and is recorded as unsuccessful.
Abstract:
A network communication system is provided for communication between network nodes, including individual nodes and a communication controller. In the network, signals are transmitted from the communication controller to identify a slot of a frame in which individual nodes may transmit a request to transmit data. When a first individual node has data to transmit, the first node transmits a request signal to the controller in its identified slot, the request including randomly generated information (RGI) for identification of the node. In response to the request signal, the controller transmits a grant signal along with the RGI back to the first node to allow the first node to identify the grant.
Abstract:
A communication system is provided for communication between network nodes and multiple communication controllers. The communication method provides for request timeslot management, assigning request timeslots to individual nodes. In the network, when an individual node has data to transmit, the node transmits a request signal to a communication controller over an assigned timeslot. For a first node in the network area of a first controller communicating with a second node in the network area of a second communication controller, data is relayed between the first and second communication controllers to enable communication between the first and second nodes. Acknowledgement back that communication is successful is made by a node to a controller indicating a grant was successfully received by the node.
