Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0101635A1] A method is disclosed for coordinating master mobile units with a slave base station comprising four steps. In step one, a plurality of mobile units (14-17) is provided. In step two, a single fixed base station (12) for communicating with each of the mobile units (14-17) is provided. In step three, one or more of the mobile units (14-17) is established as a master. In step four, the base station (12) is established as a slave to each of the mobile unit masters (14-17). In another embodiment of the present invention, a system for coordinating master mobile units with a slave base station is disclosed. The system comprises one or more mobile units (14) having control logic (19) to establish one or more of the mobile units (14) as a master controller. The system also comprises a base station (12) having response logic (13) for coordinating with each of the master mobile units (14).
