Abstract
A communication system (100) providing minimum transmission delay for message delivery to communication transceivers (510) includes a plurality of transmission cells (102, 104) which include one or more receivers (512) and a transmitter (506) and which define geographical transmission areas. The transmitter (506) transmits an address identifying the communication transceiver (510) for which a message is intended and a color code identifying the transmitter (506) during a first scheduled transmission time interval (212). At least one receiver (512) located within the transmission cells (102, 104) receives an acknowledgment including the address and color code generated by the communication transceiver (510) during a second scheduled transmission time interval (216). The transmitter (506) identified by the color code transmits the address and message during a scheduled message transmission frame (110) designated by the color code during a third time interval, during which time the address and message are received by the communication transceiver (510).
