1. A paging communication system, comprising:
- a plurality of terrestrial receivers, at least some of which receive paging information from at least one satellite and from at least one of a plurality of terrestrial stations;
the plurality of terrestrial station communicating the paging information with the at least one satellite, and adapting the paging information so as to be compatible with at least one of the plurality of terrestrial receivers;
the at least one satellite communicating the paging information to the at least one of the plurality of terrestrial stations and at least one control station, and further directly transmitting the paging information to the at least one of the plurality of terrestrial receivers; and
the at least one control station determining where to deliver the paging information and operational parameters and operational protocols to deliver the paging information to the plurality of terrestrial receivers.

Abstract
A satellite based paging communication system comprises a plurality of terrestrial stations capable of communicating the paging information with at least one satellite. The satellite(s), in turn, are capable of communicating the paging information to at least one terrestrial receiver or terrestrial station. Also included is at least one control station for determining where and how to deliver the paging information to one or more of a plurality of terrestrial receivers (pagers), at least some of which are capable of receiving the paging information from one or more of the satellites and one or more of the terrestrial stations.
