          Application No. 09/163,412                                                  


          16. A method for communicating between a wireless subscriber                
          station and both an analog cellular voice communication system              
          and a Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) communication system,             
          said subscriber station being arranged to monitor both incoming             
          analog cellular voice communications and incoming CDPD                      
          communications, said method of communication comprising the steps           
          of:                                                                         
               (A) registering said subscriber station with an analog                 
          cellular voice communication system;                                        
               (B) registering said subscriber station with said CDPD                 
          system, wherein said registration with said CDPD system,                    
          comprises:                                                                  
                    (1) synchronizing the timing of a first time interval             
          between said subscriber station and said CDPD system, said first            
          time interval defining when said subscriber station is expected             
          to be on a CDPD channel;                                                    
                    (2) switching said subscriber station from said CDPD              
          channel to an analog cellular voice control channel to monitor              
          incoming analog cellular voice communications directed to said              
          subscriber station; and                                                     
                    (3) switching said subscriber station back to said CDPD           
          channel before the end of said first time interval.                         
               No prior art reference of record has been relied upon by the           
          examiner in rejecting the appealed claims.  The examiner relies             
          only upon the following application:                                        
          Application No. 09/107,025 to Cashman filed June 29, 1998                   
               Claims 16 through 25 stand provisionally rejected under the            
          judicially created doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting
