Cellular radio system using common radio backbone
First Claim
1. A radio frequency backbone communication system for exchanging a communicated signal between a central site and a remote base site, the radio frequency backbone communication system comprising:
- A) a mobile function transceiver located at the central site that transceives the communicated signal on a shared communication resource allocated by the remote base site, the shared communication resource being otherwise available for exchanging a communicated signal between the remote base site and a user communication unit located in a service coverage area of the remote base site; and
B) means for synchronizing a transceiver at the remote base site to transceive the communicated signal exchanged between the central site and the remote base site on the shared communication resource.

Abstract
A radio frequency backbone communication system is offered for exchanging, a plurality of communicated signals between a central site (205) and a plurality of communication units (16-18) through a plurality of remote base sites (60-66). The system includes at least one mobile function transceiver (201-204) located at the central site (205), transceiving a communicated signal of the plurality of communicated signals on a shared communication resource of a base site of the plurality of base sites (60-66) and, means for synchronizing a transceiver at the base site to the communicated signal of the at least one mobile function transceiver (201-204).
