INTRODUCTION

CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS

Conventional radio systems typically refer to unit-to-unit communications through a single channel. Conventional systems also allow radio users to extend communication coverage by relaying their messages through a repeater. To ensure coordinated use by multiple users, each radio user must monitor the channel or repeater before transmitting to verify that the system is not currently busy.
