Method and system for identifying and monitoring repeater traffic in a code division multiple access system
First Claim
1. A method of monitoring communications traffic, comprising the steps of:
- receiving at least one of a plurality of signal transmissions wherein each of the signal transmissions is associated with a call associated with one of a plurality of remote stations;
processing the plurality of received signal transmissions to identify received transmissions that include a discriminant applied by a repeater; and
designating each of the plurality of received signal transmissions as being transmitted via the repeater if the received 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 plurality of signal transmissions originating from a plurality of remote stations, wherein each of the signal transmissions is associated with a call originating from one of the plurality of remote stations; processing the plurality of received signal transmissions to identify received transmissions that include a discriminant applied by a repeater; and designating each of the plurality of received signal transmissions as being transmitted via the repeater if the received signal transmission includes the discriminant.
