          Application No. 08/448,854                                                  


               Claims 1 and 9 are illustrative of the claimed invention,              
          and they read as follows:                                                   
                    1.  A mobile telecommunication system comprising:                 
               a plurality of cells, each cell being assigned at                      
               least one communication frequency containing a plurality               
               of transceiver units and at least one base station for                 
               transmitting and receiving radio signals on said at least              
               one frequency, wherein neighboring cells share at least                
               one transceiver unit to create an overlapping region,                  
               said shared transceiver unit being able to transmit and                
               receive radio signals on communication frequencies                     
               assigned to the cells which are sharing the shared                     
               transceiver unit; and                                                  
                    at least one base station controller for controlling              
               the operation of said base stations and connecting said                
               mobile telecommunication system to another communication               
               system.                                                                
                    9.  A mobile telecommunication system comprising:                 
                    a plurality of cells, each cell being assigned at                 
               least one communication frequency and containing a                     
               plurality of transceiver units and at least one base                   
               station for transmitting and receiving radio signals on                
               said at least one frequency to a plurality of mobile                   
               stations, wherein at least one transceiver units of a                  
               first cell is placed in close proximity to at least one                
               transceiver units of a neighboring cell to create an                   
               overlapping region; and                                                
                    at least one base station controller for controlling              
               the operation of said base stations in connecting said                 
               mobile telecommunication system to another communication               
               system.                                                                
               The references relied on by the examiner are:
