Abstract

PURPOSE: To shorten scanning time and to reduce the power consumption of terminal equipment by alternately performing the scanning of peripheral channels, for which it is highly possible to find out a communicatable cell, and the scanning of all channels when the terminal equipment out of a service area zone looks for the communicatable cell. CONSTITUTION: '0' (the reception of all the channels) is set to a reception discrimination flag for instructing either the reception of all the channels or the reception of partial channels, '10' is set to a reception counter, two seconds are set to the timer value of waiting time, and '0' (a proximate area) is set to a condition flag for instructing either the proximate area or a distant area. A power source is turned on and it is discriminated whether the reception flag is '1' or '0'. When it is '0', a reception frequency is switched from f1 to fn and the scanning of all the channels at base stations 221 -22n is performed. When that flag is '1', the scanning of peripheral channels is performed. Next, in the case of a outgoing signal whose reception level is higher than reception enable sensitivity, '10' is set to the reception counter and information higher than a reference level is received. When the reception is normal, the reception channel is stored, whether it is inside the zone or not is discriminated and processing is finished.

Conventionally, in order to determine whether the terminal is out of the service area or out of service area, as shown in FIG. 6, n of frequencies f 1 to f n is used.
There is a problem that power consumption is large because frequency scanning of channels, that is, all-channel scanning is performed every time. If the reception level is less than the reference level in the frequency scan, this frequency is ignored, and even if the reception level rises close to the reference level, the next frequency scan will be performed after a predetermined time. There is a problem in that it is not possible to detect this frequency, that is, to make a judgment on the area until it is heard, and it takes time to judge the area.

Next, in step S32, the power of the receiving section is turned on, and in step S34 it is determined whether the reception determination flag is 1 or not. If the reception flag is 0, the reception frequency is sequentially switched from f 1 to f n in step S36, and all the base stations 2
The reception frequency scanning of each of the 2 1 to 22 n downlink signals, that is, all-channel scanning is performed, 1 is set to the reception determination flag in step S38, and the next reception is prepared. If the reception flag is 1, in step S40, the reception frequency scanning from the peripheral channels fc 1 to fc m of the channels having the receivable sensitivity or more, that is, the peripheral channel scanning is performed, and step S42 is performed.
The reception determination flag is set to 0 to prepare for the next reception.

Thereafter, in step S44, it is determined whether or not there is a downlink signal whose reception level is equal to or higher than the receivable sensitivity. Receivable sensitivity is a level below the reference level at which complete reception is possible but barely possible. When all the reception levels of the channels scanned by the reception frequency are lower than the receivable sensitivity, the process proceeds to step S46, and it is determined whether or not the reception counter exceeds 0.

When the reception counter ≦ 0, the downlink signal exceeding the receivable sensitivity cannot be received even if the reception frequency scanning is repeated 10 times. Therefore, in step S48, the terminal 23 is assumed to be in the remote area 31 apart from the service area 20. The status flag is set to 1, the timer value is set to 10 seconds in step S50, and the process proceeds to step S52. If the reception counter> 0 in step S46, the process directly proceeds to step S52.

In step S52, the reception counter is decremented by 1, and in step S54, whether or not the channels having the receivable sensitivity or higher are recorded and the reception counter is 0 or less, that is, whether the reception frequency is scanned 10 times or more in the adjacent area. Determine whether or not. If this condition is satisfied, the reception frequency is scanned 10 times or more in the proximity area, but the reference level is not satisfied. Erase and remove from scanning.

Thereafter, an out-of-service area determination is made in step S58, the power supply of the receiving unit is turned off in step S60, the timer value set in step S62 is counted and the operation is waited, and then the process proceeds to step S32. On the other hand, step S
If there is a downlink signal whose reception level is equal to or higher than the receivable sensitivity at 44, the process proceeds to step S68, and the reception determination flag is set to 0 to instruct to perform peripheral channel scanning in the next reception frequency scanning. Further, in step S70, the status flag is set to 0 to indicate that the terminal 23 is in the proximity area 30 near the service area 20. Then, in step S72, the timer value is set to 2 seconds in order to shorten the scanning repetition period.

Next, in step S74, it is determined whether or not a downlink signal having a reception level higher than the reference level is received. If there is no reception above the reference level, the process proceeds to step S52, and if there is reception above the reference level, step S76. Proceed to. In step S76, the reception counter is set to 10 as in the initial setting.

After that, in step S78, the information of the notification of the downlink signal of the reference level or more is received, and in step S78, it is determined whether or not the notification information is normally received. If the information is not normally received, the process proceeds to step S58. When the out-of-range determination is made and the signal is normally received, the downlink signal frequency equal to or higher than the reference level, that is, the reception channel is stored in step S82, and then the in-range determination is performed in step S84 to end the process.

As described above, when the user is in a distant area outside the service area 20, at a 10-second interval longer than before,
As shown in FIG. 3, scanning of reception frequencies of all channels f 1 to f n , that is, scanning of all channels up to 80 channels and reception frequencies of peripheral channels fc 1 to fc m of the latest reception channel stored in step S66 or S82. Since the scanning, that is, the scanning of the peripheral channels of up to 20 channels is alternately repeated, the power-on time of the receiving unit is significantly shortened as compared with the conventional case, and the power consumption can be reduced.

Further, even if the reception level does not reach the reference level, if there is a sensitivity higher than the receivable sensitivity, the repetition cycle of the reception frequency scanning can be shortened to 2 seconds to enable quick channel acquisition. Furthermore, if the reception level is less than the reference level and the reception sensitivity or more continues for 10 times or more, that is, for a certain period of time or more, power consumption increases unnecessarily, so this channel is excluded from the targets of the reception frequency scanning of peripheral channels. , To prevent an increase in power consumption.
