Wireless/cordless telephone network

Abstract

Abstract In known wireless/cordless telephone networks, in which base stations of wireless/cordless telephones are connected to an exchange, a control device is provided which is connected upstream of the base stations. In order to reduce substantially the cost of implementing a wireless/cordless telephone network, it is proposed to design the exchange to transmit a call signal (broadcast call) intended for a multiplicity of subscribers, the broadcast call containing an identifier allocated to a called wireless/cordless telephone, and to provide means in the base stations which transmit an identifier contained in a broadcast call to the wireless/cordless telephones. Through adept exploitation of the command extension facility of exchanges, the function of a control device provided in conventional base stations can be integrated in the exchange without additional hardware expansion. <IMAGE>
