Next, the operation of the mobile telephone according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 2, the operation during the intermittent standby will be described. During the intermittent standby (Step 1), the movement of the mobile telephone itself is detected (Step 2). According to the detection result, it is determined whether the vehicle is moving or stationary (Step 3). If the vehicle is moving, the peripheral monitoring is continuously performed (Step 3).
8) If it is stationary, it is judged whether or not to change the peripheral monitoring operation and proceed to the step of deciding the operation (Step).
3). When the mobile station is not moving, the peripheral base stations are monitored again (Step 4), and it is determined whether or not the current standby base station needs to be changed according to the monitoring result (S4).
step 5). If it is not necessary to change the standby base station because the current downlink signal from the standby base station can be received most favorably as compared with the downlink signals from other base stations (S
(Step 5), the surrounding base stations are not monitored or the monitoring cycle is extended (Step 6), and the stationary peripheral monitoring state is set (Step 7). If the downlink signal from another base station can be received better than the downlink signal from the current standby base station, it is judged that the standby base station needs to be changed (Step 5), and the intermittent standby state is continued. As a result, the base station that can best receive the downlink signal is selected (Step 9). In this way, finally, the base station that can best receive the downlink signal is selected, and if the mobile telephone is stationary, in the next cycle, it will reach the stationary peripheral monitoring state (Step 7). .

In this way, the stationary mobile telephone monitors the downlink signals of the peripheral base stations other than the standby state, for example, at a monitoring cycle which is several times as long as the mobile state, or until the mobile telephone becomes the mobile state. To prevent power consumption during the standby time. This operation can be performed without the user's knowledge. Further, it is possible to obtain the effect of reducing unnecessary zone shifts in a place where the reception level is unstable.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the peripheral monitoring while stationary will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, when the mobile phone is in the peripheral monitoring state in a stationary state (Step 10),
The current movement status of the mobile phone is detected (Step 1
1), a judgment is made according to the state detected here (St
If it is determined that it is not moving, it is determined again whether or not the peripheral monitoring while stationary is allowed (Step 13).
In this determination, if it is determined that the current standby base station is the most suitable base station for communication, it is determined that the surrounding base stations are not monitored or the monitoring cycle is extended (Step 14) and the station is stationary. Continue monitoring around (St
ep15). Further, the current moving state of the mobile telephone is detected (Step 11), and if it is moving (Step 1)
2) Stop the peripheral monitoring while stationary and shift to the intermittent standby state (Step 16). Even when the mobile phone is not moving (Step 12), an obstacle such as a parked vehicle appears between the mobile phone and the base station, which deteriorates the current downlink signal reception state of the standby base station and the surrounding area. When it is determined that base station monitoring is necessary (Step 1
3) Then, the operation shifts to the intermittent waiting state (Step 17).

Even when the mobile telephone 27 is in a stationary state and is in a standby state while receiving a downlink signal from the base station 24, the surrounding base stations 25 and 26 can naturally be monitored because they are also in the area, but the mobile telephone 27 is denoted by 27. Indicates that it is not necessary to constantly monitor other peripheral base stations when the station is stationary at the position shown in the figure.
