Abstract
Systems and methods allow for more efficient wireless networking. In one system, plural subscriber units form a direct network and transmit and receive without base station mediation. In another system, base stations are networked so that one base station can take advantage of the second, networked, base station. In one example, high-capacity lines are connected to one base station which is then networked to a second base station. Through the network, the second base station can utilize the high-capacity lines without being directly connected to them. In another example, the subscriber units can migrate between all base stations in the network. In another example, using networked base stations and unassigned time sequences or codes, calls can be dynamically reassigned between base stations to meet shifting demand.
