A mobile wireless communications system including a plurality of individual transponding
nodes of various types, all in communication with a central processing hub. A local
user signal is processed by the central processing hub and radiated through multiple
paths to a plurality of the plurality of individual transponding platforms simultaneously.
The signal is then re-radiated by each of the plurality of the plurality of individual
transponding platforms to a mobile terminal that receives the re-radiated signal
from the plurality of the plurality of individual transponding platforms coherently
and in phase. The number of transponders and codes used to transmit each user signal
can be readily adapted to user requirements.
