Abstract

The invention relates to personal radio communications and can be used in a mobile telephone communications system. The mobile communications system includes a mobile communication means 1 for transmitting messages either directly by generating an electromagnetic radiation, or through a mobile repeater 3 by generating an auxiliary flux. The mobile communication means 1 receives data either directly from a base transceiving station 9, or from the repeater 3 using an additional auxiliary radiation generated by the mobile repeater.

Claims

1. A method of transmitting a message in a mobile communications system, including the steps of:

transmitting by a mobile communication means, such as a radiotelephone having a first subscriber or identification number and an input device and a display, an electromagnetic radiation encoded by the message, for example by modulation, and having predetermined values of electromagnetic radiation parameters; and

receiving, by the mobile communication means from a base transceiving station coupled with a first subscriber or identification number logging means, an electromagnetic energy flux having predetermined parameters and modulated by transmitted data;

generating, by the mobile communication means, a message-encoded auxiliary radiation; and

using, for each mobile communication means, at least one mobile repeater having a memory, said mobile repeater receiving and processing the auxiliary radiation for predetermined values of quality estimates of communication between the mobile communication means and the mobile repeater, or between the mobile repeater and the base transceiving station, and generating and transmitting said message-encoded electromagnetic radiation; and

exchanging control and clock signals between the mobile communication means and the base transceiving station;

storing, in the mobile repeater memory, a second subscriber or identification number, and connecting, for a predetermined value of said communication quality estimate, the mobile repeater to the base transceiving station, then receiving by the mobile repeater from the base transceiving station the electromagnetic energy flux having the predetermined parameters and modulated by the transmitted data;

wherein the message being received by the mobile communication means by receiving from the mobile repeater an additional auxiliary radiation modulated by the transmitted data, and said exchanging of the control and clock signals being performed between the mobile repeater and the base transceiving station.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a second subscriber or identification number is logged in said logging means for the predetermined value of said communication quality estimate.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising generating, by the mobile repeater, an additional auxiliary radiation as light or infrared radiation modulated by the transmitted data.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising generating, by the mobile repeater, an additional auxiliary radiation as ultrasound radiation modulated by the transmitted data.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising specifying such quality estimate values of communication between the mobile communication means and the mobile repeater, at which values the message is received by the mobile communication means by receiving from the repeater an additional auxiliary radiation modulated by the transmitted data.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising specifying such quality estimate values of communication between the mobile communication means and the mobile repeater, at which values the message is received by the mobile communication means by receiving from the base transceiving station the electromagnetic energy flux having the predetermined parameters and modulated by the transmitted data.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising disabling the transmission of the electromagnetic radiation having the predetermined values of the electromagnetic radiation parameters by entering a disable code in the mobile communication means via the input device.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, further comprising disabling the transmission of the electromagnetic radiation if the radiation level exceeds a predetermined value.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising specifying such quality estimate values of the communication between the mobile communication means and the mobile repeater, or between the mobile repeater and the base transceiving station, at which values a signal is generated in the mobile repeater, after receiving the signal by the base transceiving station the message is received by the mobile communication means from the base transceiving station by receiving the electromagnetic energy flux with the predetermined parameters and modulated by the transmitted data.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising indicating on the display of the mobile communication means, a quality status of communication between the mobile communication means and the mobile repeater.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising indicating on the display of the mobile communication means, a quality status of communication between the mobile repeater and the base transceiving station.

12. An apparatus for transmitting a message in a mobile communications system comprising one or more base transceiving stations and a mobile communication means, including, connected to a central controller, a radiotelephone transceiver and an auxiliary radiation transceiver matched, over auxiliary communication channels, with a mobile repeater including a repeater controller coupled to an internal memory of the mobile repeater, wherein the mobile repeater is a bilateral mobile repeater whose internal memory stores a subscriber or identification number of the mobile repeater, the mobile repeater comprising, connected to the repeater controller, at least one bilateral radiotelephone transceiver and one bilateral auxiliary radiation transceiver, each of them being matched by its parameters with the base transceiving station and with the auxiliary radiation transceiver of the mobile communication means, respectively.

13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 12, wherein the bilateral auxiliary radiation transceiver is one of a bilateral light, an infrared or an ultrasonic radiation transceiver.

14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 12, wherein the bilateral mobile repeater comprises an electronic identification card reading means connected to the repeater controller.

15. The apparatus as claimed in claims 12, wherein the bilateral mobile repeater comprises an additional electronic identification card reading means connected to the repeater controller.

16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 12, comprising two or more mobile communication means, each having an auxiliary radiation transceiver matched with the bilateral auxiliary radiation transceiver.
