Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain low power consumption by applying reception level detection of all control channels once as to the selection of a control channel and detecting intermittently the reception level through one control channel. CONSTITUTION:The level of control channels P1,...P5 specific to a mobile equipment is detected sequentially and when the level detection of all channels is finished and the maximum value of the reception level is a specified value L or below, the reception level is detected for prescribed number of times at each prescribed period as to a control channel Pw at the preceding standby state. The operation above is repeated till the reception level condition is satisfied. Since the power supply of a mobile equipment radio section is turned off for a delay time Tsec by adopting the control system as above, the power of the mobile equipment is saved.

When the mobile device is powered on, it selects a usable control channel with the highest reception level and a specified value (L) from among multiple predetermined control channels (Pi, P2..., P5). The mobile device selects the channel and continues to receive the channel from then on, waiting for a paging signal for its own mobile device. During standby, when the reception level of the control channel falls below a certain predetermined value, the mobile station exits the standby state and performs the control channel selection operation described above.

By repeating this process, as shown in Figure 3, once the reception levels of all control channels from P1 to P5 have been detected, it is determined that some of them satisfy the specified value. If there are multiple devices that meet the specified value, the device selects the one with the highest reception level and enters a standby state using this control channel.

As a battery saving technique during standby, there is intermittent reception that turns the mobile device's radio section on and off, but in the conventional method, as mentioned above, it is necessary to keep the power on at all times during the control channel selection operation. Therefore, during this period, there was a drawback that intermittent reception operations could not be performed by turning on/off the power of the mobile device.

That is, in the present invention, regarding the control channel selection operation of the mobile device, instead of constantly repeatedly performing the reception level detection operation for all control channels, the reception level detection operation for all control channels is performed once, and then the reception level detection operation is performed for one control channel. It detects the reception level intermittently. For example, after performing the reception level detection operation for all channels once, the reception level is then detected a certain number of times at a certain period for only the control channel used in the previous standby. perform the detection,
Once this is completed, the reception level detection for all channels is performed again, or after the reception level detection operation for all channels is performed once, a fixed shield is applied only to the channel for which the highest reception level was detected in the reception level detection operation for all channels. This method employs a method in which reception level detection is performed a fixed number of times in each period, and upon completion of this detection, reception level detection is performed again for all channels.
