Patent Images
1. An improved mobile digital radio system comprising:
- a plurality of satellites in earth orbit that transmit substantially identical information using a plurality of frequency bands;
a plurality of terrestrial repeaters that transmit information substantially identical to that transmitted by said plurality of satellites;
a mobile receiver being adapted to simultaneously receive information transmitted from said plurality of satellites and said plurality of terrestrial repeaters, and said mobile receiver further being adapted to selectively parse and concatenate information transmitted from said plurality of satellites and said plurality of terrestrial repeaters to substantially recompose a digital data stream.

Abstract
An improved mobile digital radio system is disclosed. A plurality of satellites and terrestrial repeaters transmit substantially identical information that is contained in an original time division multiplexed data stream. Each satellite transmits on a separate frequency band, and all terrestrial repeaters transmit on one shared frequency band. A mobile receiver simultaneously processes the frequency bands. The receiver selectively parses and concatenates a plurality of time division multiplexed data streams to substantially recompose the original data stream. The output may be a high fidelity audio signal, data for display, or a combination of audio and displayed data.
