1. A method for communicating between a mobile device, first and second transceivers wherein the second transceiver is positioned in an area covered by the first transceiver, wherein a first signal received by the mobile device from the first transceiver has lower energy than a second signal received by the mobile device from the second transceiver, the method comprising:
- transmitting from the first transceiver to the mobile device on any one of a plurality of channels; and
transmitting from the second transceiver to the mobile device on any one of the plurality of channels, the plurality of channels including the one channel on which the first transceiver is transmitting whereinthe one channel used in a transmission from the first transceiver or from the second transceiver is configured to be both a Mobile Satellite System (MSS) channel and an Auxiliary Terrestrial Component (ATC) channel.
