A wireless telephony system is described wherein remotely distributed transceivers, each of which has only a single antenna for receiving signals from wireless telephones, and such remote transceivers are located close enough so adjacent transceivers receive signals from the same wireless telephones to provide reverse link antenna diversity to help prevent loss of signal from a wireless telephone.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 4, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 4, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 4, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
