Zusammenfassung:In a paging system that includes a system controller, an active repeater, and a backup repeater, data integrity during a repeater transition is assured. As each repeater receives a stream of paging information from the system controller, the repeaters store it. When the repeater transition occurs, the backup repeater determines the paging messages that were not transmitted during the repeater transition based on the most recently stored stream of paging information. Subsequently, the backup repeater transmits a paging failure message to the system controller indicating the paging messages that were not transmitted. Upon receiving this, the system controller commands the backup repeater to retransmit the paging messages that were not transmitted during the repeater transition.
