1. A method of identifying remote communications transmitted via a repeater, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a signal transmission from a remote station;
determining if the signal transmission includes a discriminant applied to the signal transmitted from the remote station; and
designating the signal transmission as being transmitted via the repeater if the signal transmission includes the discriminant.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for identifying remote communications transmitted via a repeater from remote communications not transmitted via the repeater. The method comprises the steps of receiving a signal transmission 124A from a remote station 112, determining if the signal transmission 124A includes a discriminant applied to the signal transmitted from the remote station 112 and designating the signal transmission 124A as being transmitted via the repeater 120 if the signal transmission 124A includes the discriminant.

31. A program storage device, readable by a computer, tangibly embodying at least one program of instructions executable by the computer to perform method steps of identifying remote communications transmitted via a repeater from remote communications not transmitted via the repeater, the method steps comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a signal transmission from a remote station;
determining if the signal transmission includes a discriminant applied to the signal transmitted from the remote station; and
designating the signal transmission as being transmitted via the repeater if the signal transmission includes the discriminant.

32. A method of distinguishing remote communications transmitted via a repeater from remote communications not transmitted via the repeater, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a signal transmission in the repeater;
augmenting the received signal with a discriminant; and
transmitting the augmented received signal to a base station. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
