1. A wireless communication system comprising:
- (a) a plurality of antennae, the antennae being arranged in an orthogonal grid pattern over a communication region;
(b) wireless portable terminals located within the communication region for emitting and/or receiving electromagnetic signals via said antennae;
(c) means for determining the position of at least one of said terminals within the communication region relative to said grid pattern;
(d) each of said antennae being a leaky coaxial cable, cross-over ones of said cables within the orthogonal grid pattern defining the centers of micro-cells for defining the position of said one terminal;
(e) said means for determining the position of said one terminal having a plurality of first base stations including transceivers each connected to one end of said cables which are parallel in one direction; and
(f) a plurality of second base station including transceivers each connected to one end of said cables which are parallel in a second direction, and further including a transmission line connected to each of the base station.
