Supervision and control features of a small-zone radiotelephone system

The concept of a small-zone system plan for mobile telephone service is reviewed, as are the advantages of spectrum economy, flexible growth, low power requirements, and wide channel spacing and the disadvantages of locating mobiles and establishing base-station sites. The functions which such a system must perform are enumerated. A call processing sequence and a mobile block diagram which perform the basic functions are outlined, followed with a proposed plan for locating mobiles with respect to the small-zone grid.
