Abstract
A digital voice message, including a continuously embedded portable identification code, is transmitted by a portable communication unit (105) to a mobile communication unit (104) and to broadcast units (101-103). Based on the portable identification code, the mobile communication unit determines that it is associated with the portable communication unit. If, after a first predetermined period of time has elapsed, the mobile communication unit determines that the digital voice message is not being re-transmitted, in real time, by a broadcast unit (101), mobile repeater is enabled by the mobile communication unit and the digital voice message is re-transmitted as a mobile repeated message, thereby effectively extending the transmitting range of the portable communication unit.
