Abstract
A communication system, including base transmitters (113) and base receivers (115) for transmitting and receiving messages to and from selective call transceivers (116), is used for selecting an optimal base transmitter (113) for transmitting messages to a selective call transceiver (116) that cannot identify its location within the communication system. The communication system selects an optimal base transmitter (113) having a highest of a plurality of probabilities for successfully transmitting a selective call message to the selective call transceiver (116) as a function of overlap between transmission coverage areas of the plurality of base transmitters (113) and a reception coverage area of the at least one base receiver (115) that received a negative acknowledge message from the selective call transceiver (116). After selecting the optimal base transmitter (113), the communication system causes the optimal base transmitter (113) to transmit the selective call message to the selective call transceiver (116).
