Method and apparatus for providing telepoint to telepoint calling between pager equipped handsets
First Claim
1. In a communication system providing at least cordless radiotelephone operation and having a plurality of telepoint base stations geographically located therein for providing communication between a plurality of portable radiotelephone transceivers and a public switched telephone network, a method for providing communication between transceivers having paging receivers coupled thereto and operating within the communication system comprises the steps of:
- transmitting a paging message from a paging system which is transmitted substantially throughout the communication system in response to a first transceiver registering with a first telepoint base station and requesting communication with a second transceiver, the paging message including at least access information identifying the first telepoint base station and access information identifying the first transceiver;
establishing a communication link with the first telepoint base station from a second telepoint base station registering with the second transceiver in response to the same receiving the paging message identifying the first telepoint base station; and
thereafter requesting registration of the first complete the communication link between the first and second transceivers in response to the first telepoint base station receiving the access information of the first transceiver.

Abstract
Communication between first (38, 40 or 42) and second (38, 40 or 42) portable radiotelephone transceivers is provided in a radiotelephone communication system by generating a paging message (500-512) in response to the first transceiver (38, 40 or 42) registering with a first telepoint base station (32, 34 or 36). The paging message (500-512) is directed to the second transceiver (38, 40 or 42) for which communication is requested, and identifies the first telepoint base station (32, 34 or 36) and the first transceiver (38, 40 or 42). Upon receiving the paging message (500-512), the second transceiver (38, 40 or 42) registers with a second telepoint base station (32, 34 or 36), downloading the information identifying the first telepoint base station (32, 34 or 36) and the first transceiver (38, 40 or 42). The second telepoint base station (32, 34 or 36) establishes communication with the first telepoint base station (32, 34 or 36), after which the first telepoint base station (32, 34 or 36) requests registration of the first transceiver (38, 40 or 42) to complete the communication between first (38, 40 or 42) and second (38, 40 or 42) transceivers.

3. In a communication system providing at least cordless radiotelephone operation and having a plurality of telepoint base stations geographically located therein for providing communication between a plurality of portable radiotelephone transceivers and a public switched telephone network, a method for providing communication between transceivers having a paging receiver coupled thereto comprises the steps of:
-
registering a first transceiver with a first telepoint base station; transmitting, from the first transceiver, user inputted access information identifying a second transceiver to which communication is desired; establishing communication between the first telepoint base station and a paging system in response to receiving the access information identifying the second transceiver; transmitting a paging message directed to the second transceiver, the paging message including at least access information identifying the first telepoint base station and access information identifying the first transceiver; registering the second transceiver with a second telepoint base station in response to receiving the paging message; transmitting, from the second transceiver, the received access information identifying the first telepoint base station and the first transceiver; establishing a communication link between the second telepoint base station and the first telepoint base station in response to receiving the access information identifying the first telepoint base station; transmitting the access information identifying the first transceiver to the first telepoint base station; and requesting registration of the first transceiver at the first telepoint base station in response to the received access information identifying the first transceiver to enable a completion of the communication between the first and second transceivers. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
