Mobile multifrequency transmitter transmitting on frequencies based on geographic locations and a method thereof
First Claim
1. A mobile multifrequency transmitter, comprising:
- a self-locator configured to determine a current self location without transmitting an outgoing signal, and to provide the current self location to a frequency selector;
the frequency selector configured to select a usable frequency based on said current self location;
a timer configured to generate a wake-up event; and
a communication unit configured to transmit on said selected usable frequency in response to the wake-up event generated by the timer.

Abstract
A mobile multifrequency transmitter includes a self-locator, a frequency selector, and a communication unit. The self-locator is configured to determine a current self location without transmitting an outgoing signal, and to provide the self location to the multifrequency transmitter. The frequency selector is configured to select a usable frequency based on the current self location. The communication unit is configured to transmit on said selected usable frequency. A mobile communication method includes the steps of obtaining a current self location from a self-locator without transmitting an outgoing signal, looking up in a database an allowable frequency band corresponding to the current self location, and transmitting on the allowable frequency band. Thus, the mobile multi-frequency transmitter is capable of handling an automatic frequency switchover without the need for higher level cellular direction.
