          Appeal No. 2000-0612                                                        
          Application No. 08/583,357                                                  


               at least one short range transceiver having an operating               
          range defining a voice service area for providing voice and data            
          communication to a user having a personal transceiver unit, the             
          at least one short range transceiver operating on a first                   
          communication channel;                                                      
               a two way messaging service area for providing advanced                
          messaging services to users via a plurality of long range pagers,           
          the long range pagers operating on a second communication channel           
          different from the first communication channel, the long range              
          pagers sharing the second communication channel.                            

          16. A method of registering a personal transceiver unit in a two            
          way messaging service area of a wireless personal communications            
          system comprising the steps of:                                             
               monitoring a SBC broadcast in a voice service area with the            
          personal transceiver unit;                                                  
               switching to a predetermined paging frequency if no SBC is             
          detected;                                                                   
               acquiring a long range pager broadcasting on said paging               
          frequency by (a) searching for a strongest received long range              
          pager signal; (b) synchronizing the transceiver unit to a long              
          range pager having the strongest signal; and (c) reading a                  
          transmitter ID for the long range pager having the strongest                
          signal; and                                                                 
               registering a location of the personal transceiver unit with           
          the wireless personal communications system via the long range              
          pager.                                                                      
               The prior art references of record relied upon by the                  
          examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
