- step S21 and step S22 When the unused frequency determined in step S21 and step S22 is included in the DL frequency of each frequency band, the control unit 17 adds the DL frequency together with the UL frequency corresponding to the DL frequency. Set the unused frequency in the frequency band (step S23)
- step S21 and step S22 When the unused frequency determined in step S21 and step S22 is included in the UL frequency of each frequency band, the control unit 17 adds the UL frequency together with the DL frequency corresponding to the UL frequency. Set the unused frequency in the frequency band (step S 24)
- a frequency that is not used in the frequency band of each wireless communication method is determined from the wireless communication method and frequency operated at a specific frequency, and the frequency is determined.
- cell search processing for frequency is not performed. For this reason, useless cell search processing can be omitted, and current consumption can be reduced.
- different wireless communication systems are mixed in the same frequency band, it is possible to perform almost no unnecessary cell search processing.
- the frequency is determined from the radio communication system and the frequency operated at a specific frequency and used in the frequency band of each radio communication system.
- the cell search process is performed only for the frequencies of wireless communication systems that may actually be used, except for the unused frequencies. For this reason, the cell search time can be shortened and the frequency actually used can be detected efficiently. This is especially effective when different wireless communication methods are mixed in the same frequency band.
- the frequency actually detected in the cell search process is stored as the actual operating frequency.
- the mobile phone device 1 actually detects the actual operating frequency.
- the frequency information included in the neighboring cell information of the base station power transmission information and measurement control information is considered to be the actual operating frequency.
- the unused frequency information determined based on the actual operating frequency increases. Therefore, the frequency actually operated can be detected more effectively. .
- the handling of frequencies that can no longer be detected is not mentioned.
- the frequencies that can no longer be detected are deleted from the actual operating frequency information and changed to the actual operating frequencies. It is necessary to re-determine unused frequency information to be determined based on this.
- the management of the actual operating frequency information includes (1) a method of updating at any time with only the frequency whose operation has been confirmed at a certain point in time, and (2) deletion as past actual operating frequency information that cannot be updated at any time. (3) Current actual operating frequency information and past actual operating frequency information depending on the frequency at which operation has been confirmed at a certain point in time and the frequency at which operation has been confirmed in the past. A method of storing each of them separately is conceivable.
- the past actual operating frequency information can be deleted with the passage of (A) out-of-service time, or (B) deleted when moving to a new country, (C) In conjunction with GPS (Global Positioning System), it may be deleted when movement of the mobile phone device 1 is detected.
- GPS Global Positioning System
- the actual operating frequency information is managed for each country, or individually managed together with location information in conjunction with GPS, so that even when moving from country to country for international roaming, Actually, effectively according to the frequency operation situation in each country The operating frequency can be detected.
