Abstract

See full text

Metering pulses from a local exchange are received by a wireless local loop (WLL) which computes the metering pulse rate. A value indicative of the metering pulse rate is then placed into a message which is transmitted from the WLL to a wireless public office (PCO), also referred to as a village public telephone. The wireless PCO reads the message to determine the metering pulse rate value and then generates PCO metering pulses at the metering pulse rate value. Advantageously, once the wireless PCO has properly received the metering pulse rate value, no additional metering pulse information is required to be sent to the PCO unless the metering pulse rate value changes during the call. Therefore, there are no further interruptions to the speech or data on the forward voice channel in order to transmit metering pulse information to the PCO.
