Abstract

See full text

A system for marking a plurality of zones within a cellular service area. One or more marker transmitters are disposed throughout a cellular area to transmit a zone identification signal that is independent of normal RF cellular coverage to a mobile or portable cellular receiver. Each zone identification signal is transmitted in a radio frequency coverage area that illuminates the zone to be identified and is constrained by a similar transmitter jamming the zone signal. The marker transmitters are programmed to transmit the zone identification signal during a predefined time slot so that more than one marker transmitter may simultaneously transmit the zone identification signal, thereby increasing the area in which the zone identification signal can be received by the mobile unit. In order to reduce the area in which a zone identification signal may be received by a mobile unit, the marker transmitters may transmit a jamming signal at the same time as the zone identification signal is transmitted.
