More Information
Summary:An hierarchical addressing mechanism for use in a paging system is disclosed. The paging system assigns a compressed organization identifier to each of the organization identifiers for the organizations that are sharing the resources of the paging system. Each of the pagers within the paging system are provided with an associative table that associates the compressed organization identifiers with organization identifiers. In operation, the paging system forms a page by appending an address word to a message. The address word includes the compressed organization identifier determined from the associative table and the pager identifier for the called pager. In this manner, a more efficient method of addressing pagers is disclosed.
