Abstract

A communication system, for providing services to a plurality of subscribers, comprises a network controller, a base station, and a wireless mobile subscriber unit. The network controller includes a memory for storing a plurality of memory templates. Each memory template contains information pertaining to a subscriber. A controller processes information in the memory templates. A transceiver transmits information from the memory templates to subscribers upon request by a subscriber and at times automatically determined by the network controller. A general services tank provides general services to the subscribers, and an individual services tank provides individual services to the subscribers. The base stations each include a radio transceiver that includes a memory, coupled to the radio transceiver, for storing a plurality of memory templates. The base stations also include a controller, coupled to the memory, for processing information in the memory templates and a transceiver for receiving the requests for processing of the information contained in the memory templates stored in the memory of the base station. Lastly, the wireless mobile subscriber units each contain a radio transceiver, apparatus, coupled to the radio transceiver for requesting access to information from the memory templates in the network controller, and alternatively from the base station. The wireless mobile subscriber units also contain apparatus for requesting processing of the information contained in the memory templates.

Claims

1. A communication system, for providing services to a plurality of subscribers, comprising:

a wireless mobile subscriber unit;

a network controller for providing the wireless mobile subscriber unit with general and individual services;

a plurality of base stations for providing information to the mobile subscriber unit without actively having to retrieve the information from the network controller, the plurality of base stations, comprising;

a radio transceiver;

a memory, coupled to the radio transceiver, for storing a plurality of memory templates in order to rapidly respond to information requests without continuously referring to the network controller, each memory template containing data information;

controller means, coupled to the memory, for processing the data information in the memory templates; and

the receiver portion of the radio transceiver receives requests from the wireless mobile subscriber unit for processing of the data information contained in the memory templates; and

transmitter portion of the transmitter transmits the information of the memory templates to the wireless mobile subscriber unit.

2. The communication system of claim 1, wherein the wireless mobile subscriber unit further comprises means for requesting processing of the information contained in the information sets stored in the memory of the base station.

3. The communication system of claim 1, wherein the network controller further comprises a service command module coupled to the means for interfacing with a public service telephone network.
