Pager (ringer) amplification by co-operative emission relay (pacer/racer)

A pager/ringer system for permitting co-operative emission relay between a plurality of user terminals of a satellite personal communication network (S-PCN) service. Each user terminal includes a receiver, a transmitter, a memory storage device and a unique address. By permitting relay between user terminals, the S-PCN will achieve improved dependability in signal-blocking environments by exploiting the spatial diversity of satellite signal strength.
