A system and method for supporting communications among multiple interconnected networks include assigning multiple dynamic telephony addresses to each wireless communication device that registers in more than one network. The networks assign the addresses independently of each other. When an incoming call is directed to a particular wireless device via a first network, if the wireless device is beyond the transmission range of the first network, a locate-wireless-communication-device message may be single-cast, multicast or broadcast to remote networks, with instructions to return dynamic telephony addresses assigned to the device. While the telephony addresses are different in each network, each wireless device is associated with a device identifier that is universally applied in the internetwork. Upon receiving a telephony address from a remote network, the address is stored in local memory at the first network, thereby allowing access for subsequent incoming calls.

The communication station of claim 2 wherein the antennas are spaced no more than three yards apart from each other. 8. The communication station of claim 5 wherein the receiver and the modem are located in physically separate units and further comprising a cable for coupling the modem to the receiver, the cable providing power to the receiver. 9. The communication station of claim 8 wherein the cable is at least 20 feet long. 10. A method for processing received wireless signals in a CDMA system, the method comprising: creating a plurality of copies of a received CDMA signal; adding a copy specific fixed time delay to at least one of the copies of the received CDMA signal; summing the plurality of copies so as to provide a combined output signal having a known phase distortion corresponding to the fixed time delay; and demodulating an individual communication signal associated with a unique CDMA code from the combined output signal based in part on the known phase distortion. 11. The method of claim 10 wherein a plurality of antennas are used to create the plurality of copies of the received CDMA signal. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein a different fixed time delay is added to all but one of the plurality of received CDMA signal copies. 13. The method of claim 12 wherein a delay unit is used to add each different fixed time delay. 14. A method for processing received wireless signals in a CDMA system, the method comprising: creating three copies of a received CDMA signal; adding a copy specific fixed time delay to two of the copies of the received CDMA signal; summing the copies so as to provide a combined output signal having a known phase distortion corresponding to the two fixed time delays; and demodulating an individual communication signal associated with a unique CDMA code from the combined output signal based in part on the known phase distortion. 15. The method of claim 14 wherein three antennas are provided for creating the three copies of the received CDMA signal; two delay units are provided, each for adding a copy specific fixed time delay to a different one of the copies of the received CDMA signal; a summer is provided for summing the plurality of copies so as to provide a combined output signal having a known phase distortion corresponding to the two fixed time delays; and a modem is provided for demodulating an individual communication signal associated with a unique CDMA code from the combined output signal based in part on the known phase distortion.
