C~GROIWD OF I~l~ INVENTION
In prior art cellular radio telephone systems, a geographical area is covered and served by breaking the area into a plurality of small zones or cells. A large land area can be covered by a plural:ity of connected cell areasO A mobile telephone switching office (MTSO) is provided for each area and is connected to a plurality of base stations, each covering a cell within the area.
Figure 1 is a diagram illustrat:ing a conventional cellular radio telephone system. Referring to Figure 1, the user of cellular radio telephone 101 usually kravels within an area 102 and is assigned an identification (ID) number for the user's cellular radio telephone which is registered in a corresponding MTSO 103 which covers the area. The area is called a home area and the user is called a home area user. If the user travels out of area 102 and enters another area, the new area is called a roam area and the user is called a roamer in the new area. User fees for calls from the cellular radio telephone via the MTS0 covering the roam area are higher than there via the MTSO covering the home area.
It should be noted that, when a call is made from a cellular radio telephone, the ID number for the cellular radio telephone is transmitted to the MTSO covering the area where the cellular radio telephone is located and the MTSO can therefore distinguish roamers and home area users by checking whether the transmitted ID number is registered in the NTSO. Accordingly, some conventional cellular radio telephones have a plurality of ID numbers so that each of the ID numbers, each one of which is registered to a different area.
Figure 2 is a further diagram illustrating a conventional cellular radio telephone system. Referring to Figure 2, if the user of cellular radio telephone 201 registers ID #1 to MTS0 203 covering area ~1 and ID #2 13183~
to MTSO 204 covering area ~2, either area #1 or area #2 could become the home area for the user by using the ID
number registered in the MTSO covering the area when a call is made.
In a conventional cellular radic\ teLephone as mentioned above, an ID number is manually selected by the user. In the situation shown in Figure 2, when a user is within area #1 and makes a call/ the user has to select ID #1 by operating a changeov6r switch provided in the cellular radio telephone to reduce speech charges. Otherwise, ID #2 may be sent to MTSO 203 covering area #l which would result in higher speech charges because MTSO 203 idantifies the call as being that ~rom a roamerO Therefore, it is necessary for a user to pay attention to whether the proper ID number for the area is selected when the user makes a call. In some situations, however, a user does not exactly know which area he presently is in. Thus, the user cannot select the proper ID number.
Furthermore, another problem exists in receiving an incoming call. Once an I~ number is selected by operating the changeover switch in a cellular radio telephone, the telephone receives only incoming calls having the selected ID number. Accordingly, when an ID

C~GROIWD OF I~l~ INVENTION
In prior art cellular radio telephone systems, a geographical area is covered and served by breaking the area into a plurality of small zones or cells. A large land area can be covered by a plural:ity of connected cell areasO A mobile telephone switching office (MTSO) is provided for each area and is connected to a plurality of base stations, each covering a cell within the area.
Figure 1 is a diagram illustrat:ing a conventional cellular radio telephone system. Referring to Figure 1, the user of cellular radio telephone 101 usually kravels within an area 102 and is assigned an identification (ID) number for the user's cellular radio telephone which is registered in a corresponding MTSO 103 which covers the area. The area is called a home area and the user is called a home area user. If the user travels out of area 102 and enters another area, the new area is called a roam area and the user is called a roamer in the new area. User fees for calls from the cellular radio telephone via the MTS0 covering the roam area are higher than there via the MTSO covering the home area.
It should be noted that, when a call is made from a cellular radio telephone, the ID number for the cellular radio telephone is transmitted to the MTSO covering the area where the cellular radio telephone is located and the MTSO can therefore distinguish roamers and home area users by checking whether the transmitted ID number is registered in the NTSO. Accordingly, some conventional cellular radio telephones have a plurality of ID numbers so that each of the ID numbers, each one of which is registered to a different area.
Figure 2 is a further diagram illustrating a conventional cellular radio telephone system. Referring to Figure 2, if the user of cellular radio telephone 201 registers ID #1 to MTS0 203 covering area ~1 and ID #2 13183~
to MTSO 204 covering area ~2, either area #1 or area #2 could become the home area for the user by using the ID
number registered in the MTSO covering the area when a call is made.
In a conventional cellular radic\ teLephone as mentioned above, an ID number is manually selected by the user. In the situation shown in Figure 2, when a user is within area #1 and makes a call/ the user has to select ID #1 by operating a changeov6r switch provided in the cellular radio telephone to reduce speech charges. Otherwise, ID #2 may be sent to MTSO 203 covering area #l which would result in higher speech charges because MTSO 203 idantifies the call as being that ~rom a roamerO Therefore, it is necessary for a user to pay attention to whether the proper ID number for the area is selected when the user makes a call. In some situations, however, a user does not exactly know which area he presently is in. Thus, the user cannot select the proper ID number.
Furthermore, another problem exists in receiving an incoming call. Once an I~ number is selected by operating the changeover switch in a cellular radio telephone, the telephone receives only incoming calls having the selected ID number. Accordingly, when an ID
2~ number is selected, i~ a caller knows only another ID
number, a call from the caller is never receivsd by the cellular radio telephone even though the system broadcasts a paging signal accompanied with the other ID
number and the cellular radio telephone i5 not busy.
S~MMA~Y OF 'T~ INVENTION
It is accordingly an object of an aspect o~ the present invention to provide novel radio telecommunication apparatus having a plurality of ID
numbers in which an ID number is properly selected from a plurality o~ ID numbers.
It is an ob~ect of an aspect of ths present invention to provide a novel radio telecommunication apparatus having a plurality of ID mlmbers in which it is not necessary ~or a user to select an ID number to be transmitted, thereby the operability of the te:Lephone is greatly improved.
It is an object of an aspect of the present invention to provide an improved rad;;o telecommunication apparatus having a plurality of ID mlmbers in which the proper ID number for the present area is selected so that charges for the usage of radio channels is reduced as much as possible.
It is an object of an aspect of the present invention to provide an improved radio telecommunication apparatus having a plurality of ID numbers in which an incoming call addressed to any one of the plurality of ID numbers can be received.
According to this invention, an ID number is automatically selected in response to a system identification number (SID) transmitted from a base station. Figure 3 is a diagram which illustrates the principles of the present invention applied to a cellular radio telecommunication system in which a MTS0 is connected to a plurality of base stations, each covering a cell. Referring to Figure 3, the rellular radio telephone 301 comprises a memory 302 for storing a plurality of ID numbers, such as ID #1 and ID #2, which are associated with a plurality of corresponding system identification numbers, such as- SID #1 and SID #2.
When the cellular radio telephone is located within home area #1, the telephone receives SID #l transmitted from MTS0 303, in which ID #1 is registered, via a base station at the time of initialization, in a standby mode, or prior to a call origination. Responsive to the reception of SID #1, cellular radio telephone 301 selects the corresponding identification number ID #1 13183~
-4a-from memory 302 and transmits the selected number to MTSO
303 via a base unit. MTSO 303 receives the ID #1 and compares the ID #1 with identification numbers previously regis~ered in MTSO 303. Since ID #l is already registered in MTSO 303, ~TSO 303 treats cellular radio telephone 301 as a home area user traveling within a home area. Accord-ingly, speech charges in this case are cheaper than that in the case where cellular radio telephone 301 is treated as a roamer by transmitting ID #2.
If cellular radio telephone 301 travels out of area #1 and enters area #2, telephone 301 receives 5ID #2 from MTSO
304, in which ID #2 is registered, via a base station at the time of initialization, in a standby state, or prior to a call origination. Responsive to the reception of S~D #2, telephone 301 transmits the corresponding identification number ID #~ to MTSO 304 via a base stationO Accordingly, telephone 301 entering area #2 is treated as a home area user in a home area by MTSO 304. Thus, speech charges are cheaper than in the case where ths user is treated as a roamer. Accordingly, it is not necessary for a user of the cellular radio telephone to operate the changeover switch.
In accordance with another feature of the present invention, when an incoming call, including an identification number, is received by the cellular radio telephone, all of the identification numbers stored in the cellular radio telephone are checked for coincidence with the received identification number. Thus, a caller may call a cellular radio telephone by dialing any one of a plurality of identification numbers registered in the cellular radio telephone.

~3~835~ --DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBC)DIMENT
A preferred embodiment of the present invention applied in a mobile telephone will be described with reYerence to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an arrangement of a mobile tel-ephone apparatus according to an embodiment af the present invention.
Referring to Figure 4, mobile telephone apparatu~s lOO comprises antenna 200, radio unit 300 and telephone unit 400. Antenna 200 is mounted on an outer body surface of an automobile. Telephone unit 400 is mounted near the driver's seat inside the automobile.
Radio unit 300 includes radio section 310 for establ~shing radio chan-nels 600 with a base station (not shown) through antenna 200 and for exchanging si~nals therewith, radio unit controller 330 for controlling the overall operations of the apparatus, voice synthesis circuit 350 for synthe-sizing voices, ID ROM 370 for storing ID numbers with the corresponding system identification numbers and power source 390 for supplying power from the battery mounted in the automobile to the above components through fuse 508.
Telephone unit 400 includes handset eontroller 418 for controlling the overall operations OI telephone unit 400 in response to instructions or the like from radio unit controller 330, key unit 430 for entering key inputs, display unit 450 for displaying numerical or alphabetical characters in response to control signals from handset controllel 41~, switches 470 including a hook switch and a power switch, and selectable audio inpu~/output units 490a and 490b for inputting or output~ing as~ au~ible sound. Telephone unit 400 may be divided into main unit 400a and handset 400b. Micropt~one 494 may be a hands-free microphone 494 mounted on a sun visor or the like near the driver~s seat and is connected to main unit ~OOa. Loudspeaker 492 may be mounted in main unit ~OOa. Hand3et con-troller 418, key unit 430, and display unit 450 are mounted in handset 400b.
Handset microphone ~66 and handset receiver 498 constitute audio inputJ
output unit 490b of handset 400b.
Each section o~ radio unit 300, main unit 400a and handset 400b is supplied power by way oi a power line lOOS extending from power source 390 in radia unit 300. The opened or closed status oY switches 470 is trans-mitted to power source 390 or radio unit controller 330 by way of line lOOO
-6- ~.3:L~356 ---or line 1001, respectively. Control and/or command signals are transmitted between handset controller 418 and radio unit controller 330 by way of line 1002. Audio signals are transmitted by way of lines 1003. Radio unit con-troller 330 sends control signals to audio input/output unit 490a, 490b by way of lines 1004.
Eiigure 5 is a block diagram showing a detailed arrangement of the radio unit of Figure 4. Referring to Figure 5, radio section 310 comprises demodulator 312, modulator 314 and synthesizer 320. Demodulator 312 demodulates a radio signal received from the base station through radio channels 600, antenna 200 and duplexer 318. It should be noted that this signal includes audible sound signals and control signals. Modulator 314 modulates the audio and control signals received from audio controller 3û0 and generates the required transmission signals.
Power amplifier 316 amplifies the transmission signals received from modulator 314. The amplification of power amplifier 316 may be con-tinuous or variable in a step-wise fashion, e.g., 8-step variable. Duplexer 318 sends the signals received through radio channel 600 to demodulator 312 and the signals from modulator 314 and power amplifier 316 to antenna 20Q. Synthesizer 320 is formed of a channel selection local oscillator and specifies a frequency from which signals are demodulated by demodulator 312 and a frequency to which signals are modulated by modulator 314.
About 866 channels are available from synthesizer 320.
Radio unit controller 330 ~s formed at central processing unit (CPU) 331, oscillator/frequency divider 332, address decoder 333, ROM 33~, RAM
335, radio controller 336, audio circuit 33~, control signal prucessor 338, audio circuit controller 339, digital interface 340, power controller 341 and interrupt controller 3~2. Reference numerals 343, 344 and 345 denote a data bus, an address bus and a control bus, respectively. CPU 331 controls the operation of radio unit controller 330. Oscillator/frequency divider 332 supplies clock signals to CPU 331 and divides the clock signals to supply appropriate ~requency-divided pulses a!s timing pulses to each section of the mobile telephone apparatus requiring them. Address decoder 333 out-puts predetermined operation signals to the components in response to instruction signals from CPU 331. ROM 334 stores various programs required for operation of CPU 331. RAM 335 stores various types of data 3~3~
during processing for use by CPU 331. Radio controller 336 controls radio section 310 in response to instructions from CPIJ 331. For example, radio controller 336 sends signals indicative of available frequencies to synthe-sizer 320, signals indicative of an amplification level to power amplifier 316, and signals indicative of modulation parameters to modulator 314.
Radio controller 336 receives a step-out signal from synthesizer 320 and output power detection signals from power amplifier 316 and forwards these signals to CPU 331, thereby preventing operational errors.
Audio circuit 337 extracts control signals and audio signals from the received signals demodulated by demodulator 312 and supplies ~he control signals to control signal processor 338 and the audio signals to telephone unit ~00. Audio circuit 33~ also supplies a control signal from control sig-nal processor 338 and audio signals from telephone set 400 to modulator 314. It should be noted that audio circuit 337 also arranges the waveform of the control signal to be sent to control signal processor 338 in a particu-lar signal format and filters the control signal to be supplied to modulator 314. Control signal processor 338 acquires bit and frame synchronization with the control signal from audio circuit 337. Maintaining the required synchroni7ation, control signal processor 338 converts the serial control signals, including control data received from a base station, into parallel signals and converts the parallel control data signals to be transmitted to a base station into serial signals. The control signals are sent to and from the base station via audio circuit 337.
Audio circuit controller 339 controls audio circuit 337. Under the control of audio circuit controller 339, for example, audio circuit 337 applies the received signals from demodulator 312 to control signal proces-sor 338 or telephone unit 400 and sele~tively receives the signals from con-trol signal processor 338 or telephone ul~}t 400. Digital interface 340 inter-faces the data communication between radio unit 300 and telephone unit 400. Power controller 341 controls power source 390 and sets a voltage supplied from battery 506 to power source 390 to a predetermined level.
The voltage having the predetermined level is supplied to the respective circuit components.
Figure 6 ~s a diagram which illustra~es the contents of ID ROM 370 shown in Figures 4 and 5. In this embodiment, three mooile identification - 8 - ~31L8~
numbers MIDl-3, which are identification numbers for the mobile tele-phone, are stored with corresponding system identification numbers :SID1-3 at predetermined addresses in ID ROM 310, i.e., FF00-FF20. In this case, a user has to register mobile identifi~ation number MID1 to a MTSO whose system identification number is SIDl as a home area user. Likewise, MID2 and MID3 have to be registered to MTSOs having SID2 and SID3, respectively.
A connection control operation of mobile telephone apparatus 100 will now be described with reference to Figure 7. When the power switch in switch unit 470 o~ telephone unit 4û0 is turned on, the respective compo-nents are powered by power source 390 (step 801).
Figure 8 is a detailed flow chart which illustrates the initial radio channel connection operation af ter the power supply is turned on. In response to a control signal from CPU 331, radio controller 336 in radio unit controller 330 controls synthesizer 320 to change the frequency of output therefrom. Thereby, a predetermined range of control channels (referred to as D channels hereinafter) are scanned in demodulator 312 to obtain the information indicative of electric field intensity oî the received signals over each channel ~step 13û1). The channel having the strongest electric field intensity is selected from the D channels and the apparatus is ready for receiving signals through the D channel having the strongest electric field intensity. In this case, information of a channel having the second strongest intensity is also obtained.
IJnder the control of CPU 331, audio circuit controller 339 controls audio circuit 337 so tha~ the output of demodulator 312 is applied to the input of control signal processor 338 and the output of control signal pro-cessor 338 is applied to the inpu~ of modulator 31~.
Control signal processor 338 performs bit and frame synchronization operations on signals received through the selected D channel (step 1302).
Thereby, a communication link is established between the mobile telephone and a base station. System information is then detected by signals received through this D channel at control signal processor 338 (step 1303) and sent to CPU 331. The system informa~ion includes a system identification num-ber (SID) and a range ot frequency channels (referred to as P channels hereinafter) to be scanned next. The rec0ivecl SID represents a MTSO
~31~3~
covering the area where the mobile telephone is located. CPU 331 stores the SID in a SID register of RAM 335. Also CPU 331 compares the received SID with SIDs stored in ID R(:)M 370 (Figures 4 and 6). Referring to Figure 6, in the event that the received SID coincides with one of the stored SlDs, (SIDl, SID2, SID3) CPU 331 selects a MID corresponding to the coincided SID. In the event that the received SID does not coincide with any one of the stored SIDs, CP[J 331 selects a MID having a predetermined priority.
The selected MID is stored in a MID register of RAM 335 as an identifica-tion number for the mobile telephone (step 1305).
If the word sywhronization or system information reception is not performed within a predetermined period of time, the D channel having the second strongest intensity is used to repeat the above operation (step 1304~.
In this case, if word synchronization or system information reception 1s again not performed within the predetermined period of tim0, the demodulator scans the D channels again (step 1301).
When the above initialization operations are completed, scanning similar to the above scanning operation is performed for the P channels for receiving an incoming signal (step 803 in Figure 7).
Figure 9 is a detailed flow chart which illustrates the P channel con-nection after initialization. Responsive to a control signal from CPU 331, radio controller 336 controls synthesizer 320 to change the frequency of the output therefrom so that P channels are scanned in demodulator 312 (step 1401) to obtain the information indicative of the electric fiPld inten-sity of the re~eived signals. The apparatus is ready for receiving in~orma-tion through the P channe} having the strongest electric field intensity. In this case, information indicative of the P channel having the second stroa-gest intensity is a~so obtainedO
Contrd signal processor 338 performs bit and frame synchroni~ation operations on signals received through the P channel which has the s~ron-gest electric field intensity (step 1402). After acquiring synchronization, control signal processor 38 obtains system information, including a SID rep-resenting a MTSO serving for the mobile telephone, from the following information signals (step 1403) and sends it to CPU 331.
Then, CPU 331 compares the obtained SID with SIDs stored in ID
ROM 370 (Figures ~ and 6). Re~erring to Figure 6, in the event that the - lo- ~318356 obtainecl SID coincides with one of the stored SIDs (SID1, SID2 or SID3) CPU
331 selects a MID corresponding to the coincided SID. In the event that the obtained SID does not coincide with any one of the stored SIDS, CPU 331 selects a MID having a predetermined priority. The selected MID is s~ored in a MID register of RAM 335 (Figure 5) as an identification number of the mobile telephone (step 14û5).
If the word synchronization or system information reception is not performed within a predetermined period of time, an operation similar to the one described above is performed for the P channel ha~ring the second strongest interlsity (step 1404). In this case, when word synchronization or system information reception is again not performed within the predete~
mined period of time, initialization is resumed (step 1102). If position information is not obtained from system information, initialization is al~
resumed (step 1102). The above connection control operations set the apparatus to the receive standby mode (step 1104).
Next, a call origination processing sequence will be describedO Fig-ure 10 is a detailed flow chart showing outgoing call processing.
In the standby state in step 804 of Figure ?, when a call request is detected by an input at the key unit 430, a timer ~or counting a call recep, tion time is set (step 1201). The set time is, e.g., 12 seconds.
Thereaf ter, the audio controller in the radio unit cause~ the demodulator to scan each predetermined control channel (step 1202~ to obtain reception electric field intensity information. The channel having the strongest electric field intensity is selected from these contrDl chan-nels and the apparatus is set to receive a signals through the control chan-nel having the strongest intensity. In this case, information indicative of the control channel having the second strongest electric field intensity is also obtained.
Next, the presence of the user wishing to make a call is checked (step 1203). This check is performed as follows. If the user enters a tel~
phone number to be called on key pad 430 and depresses the ~'SEND" key, these key inputs are detected by handset controller 418. Handset controller 418 sends a detection signal to CPU 331 in radio unit controller 330.
Responsive to the detection slgnal, a call flag In CPU 331 is set at a lagic "1." In this case~ the apparatus determines that the user wishes to make a .3~L~3~6 --call. However, if the user depresses the "END" key after depression of the "SEND~' key, the call flag is reset at a logic "0." In this case, the apparatus determines that the user does not wish to make a call and initialization is resumed (step 802).
Control signal processor 338 performs bit and frame synchronization operations of the currently reeeived control channel. That is, word syn-chronization thereof to obtain system information from this control chan-nel. CPU 331 then obtains a SID from the received system information and compares the obtained SID with SIDs stored in ID PcOM 3~0 (Figure~ 4 and 6). Referring to Figure 6, in the event that the obtained SID coincides with one of the stored SIDs, CPU 331 selects a MID corresponding to the coin-cided SID. In the event that the obtained SID coincides with neither one of the stored SIDs, CPU 331 selects a MID having priority which is predeter-mined. The selected i~lID is stored in the MID register of RAM 335 (Figure 5) as an identification number of the mobile telephone (step 1204). How-ever, if word synchronization cannot be performed, the same operation is performed using the control channel having the second strongest intensity (step 1205). In this case~ if no word synchronization can be performed, initialization is resumed ~step 802).
And then, the apparatus confirms again whether the user wishes to make a call Istep 1206). As described above, if the call flag is set at logic "1," the apparatus determines that the user wishes to make a call. How ever, if the call flag is set at logic "0," the apparatus determines that the user does not wish to make a call and initialization is resumed (step 802).
CPU 331 confirms whether the selected control channel is appropri-ate for the origination signal to be broadcast by analyzing the system infor-mation signal from a base station. IJpon the selection of an appropriate control channel, a ctlannel selection flag in CPU 331 is changed from logic "O" to "1." ~Iowever, if any appropriate control channel is not selected, initialization is resumed (step 802) without changing the content of the channel selection flag. If the selection of an appropriate control channel ~s delayed ~step 1208), the apparatus checks again whether the user wishes to make a call. (step 1206).
If CPU 331 detects that the user wishes to make a call (i.e., the call flag is set at logic "1") and an appropriate control channel for broadcast of - 12- ~3~83~
an origination signal ~s selected (i.e., the channel selection flag is set at logic ~ ), a call origination signal including the telephone number to be called, which is entered by the user, is transmitted over this control chan nel with a MID (step 12û9). At this time, the MID to be transrnitted is stored in the MID register of RAM 335 (Figure 5) in step 1305 of Figure 8, step 1405 of Figure 9 or step 1204. Accordingly, as a MID corresponding to a SID assigned to the serving MTSO is stored in the MID register of RAM
335, if any, the mobile telephone may be treated as a homer by the MTSO.
Immediately after the call origination signal with the MID is trans-mitted, CPU 331 sends the MID to handset controller 418 of transceiver unit 400b via digital interface 340. Receiving the MID, handset controller ~18 controls display unit 450 so that the MID is displayed ~step 121Q~. Also, CPU 331 may control voice synthesizer 350 so that sounds corresponding to the MID are synthesized and contrQl audio circuit 33~ so that the synthe-sized sounds are generated from loudspeaker 492.
Thereafter, the mobile telephone apparatus detects whether the acknowledge signal from the base station has been received ~step 1211).
The base station calls the other party to be called on the basis of the tele-phone number included in the origination signal. A communication link may then be established between the mobile telephone apparatus and the called telephone apparatus (step 1212). Otherwise, initialization is resumed (step 802). Thus, a communication link can be established as mentioned above (step 810), and thereafter the communication is closed.
As has been described, whenever a call is originated in response to an operation by a user, an MID corresponding ~o an SID of the MTSO serv-ing the mobile telephone is transmitted to a base station. Accordingly, since the MTSO treats the mobile telephone as a home area user, it reduces speech charges for the mobile telephone.
In the present cellular radio telephone system, in addition to a call origination procedure, a 1Ocation registration proc~ure is provided. In this procedure, to register a location where the mobile telephone exists to a base station, an MID of the mobile telephone is automatically transmitt~d to the base station. This procedure occurs by a request from a base station or during a processing of the mobile telephone and is not actuated by a user~s operation. Before this procedure, a mobile telephon~ can obtain a - 13 ~
system identification number through an initializatiorl procedure (step 802 of Figure 7) or the other procedures. Therefore, the mobile telephone may transmit an MID corresponding to an SID of the MTSO serving the mobile telephone In the automatic location registration procedure before a call is made by a user of the apparatus.
Furthermore, although CPU 331 selects an MID having a predeter-mined priority in the event that the received SID does nat coincide with any one of the stored SIDs, an MID corresponcling tO an SID which is the most similar one with the received SID may be selec~ed by comparing the received SID with the stored SIDs. For example, in the event that the received SID is "11111111", and SIDs ~ 110~1 and 1~99999999~l are stored, a MID corresponding to the ~ID "11111110" is selected. AccordilIg to this embodiment, in the case that the SIDs are sequentially assigned to a pluraI-ity of ~TSOs by a geographical order, speech charges for the mobile tele-phone may be reduced since the mobile telephone is treated as a roamer from a near area.
Filrthermore, the content o~ MID register of RAM 335 may be dis-played in response to a user~s input for confirmation. For example, when the user depresses a predetermined order of keys on key unit ~30, handset controller 418 detects this key input, reads the MID stored in the MID reg-ister of RAM 335, and controls display unit 450 so tha~ the read MID is dis-played on display unit 450. ~lso, upon the input for confirmation, CPU 331 may control voice synthesi~er 35û so that sounds corresponding to the MID
stored in the MID register of RAM 335 are synthesized and contro~ audio circuit 337 so t~at the synthesize~ sounds are generated from loudspeaker 492.
A further feature of the present invention will now be described.
Referring again to Figure ~, in the standby state of step 804, the apparatus awaits an incoming call. Signals received over a selected P channel are applied to CPU 331 through audio circuit 337 and control signal processor 338. CPU 331 then examines whether the signals comprise one of the MID1-MID3 registered in ID ROM 370. Upon a match of an MID, a speech communication link is established by using the matched ID thereafter until the speech communication link is terminated. Then, an acknowledge signal is sent back through a predetermined channel (step 1105). At the same 3 ~
time, scanning of control channels (referred to as A channels hereinafter) for receiving control signals from the base station is performed in the same manner as for D and P channels. A frequency range of A channels is desig-nated in the system information addressed to the apparatus which is obtained from signals transmitted via the P channel.
Responsive to a control signal from CPU 331, radio controller 336 controls synthesizer 320 to change the frequency of output therefrom so that A cham~els are scanned in demodulator 312 to obtain the information indicative of electric field intensity of tha received signal. The apparatus is then ready for receiving information through the A channels having the strongest elec~ric field ineensi~y. Thereafter, control signal processor 338 performs bit and frame synchronization operations, i.e., word synchroniza-tion. This radio channel communication using A channels is also a commu;
nication link between the mobile telephone and the base station. When a speech channel designation signal accompanied with said match ID is received through the A channeLs, the channels are switched to the desig-nated speech channels which include a forward channel for transmitting audio signals to the base station and a backward channel for receiving audio signals from the calling apparatus via the base station (step 1107). Thereby a communication link has been established between the mobile telephone and the calling apparatus via the base station.
When the user responds to the ringing tone by depressing the ~SEND~
key, handset controller 418 detects the key operation and sends a control signal of ~SENDI~ key operation to CPU 331 via digital interface 34~ by way of ~ es 1002. Also in the even~ that ~he user takes handset 400b o~f-hook, information indicating the closed state of the hook switch in switch 470 (Figure 4) is transmitted to CPU 331 via digital interface 340 by way of line 1001. Responsive to the off-hook control signal or the information, CPU
331 sends a connection signal to audio circuit controller 339. Receiving the connection signal, audio circuit controll2r 339 controls audio circuit 337 so that demodulator 312 and modulator 314 are connected to audio input/output unit g90 by way of line 1003. Accordingly, the user may com-municate with the calling party by using hands-free microphone 494 and loudspeaker 492 or handset mlcrophone 466 and handset receiver 498.
When fading occurs for a predetermined period of time or longe~ in the -15- ~L3~83~
speech channel reception mode (step 1106), the acknowledge signal sending state (step l104~ or a communication enable state (step 1110), the transmis-sion function is disabled (step 1108). When the transmission function is disabled (step 1108), initialization is resumed (step 1102).
In the present cellular radio telephone system, as previously described, a location information of a mobile telephone ~s registered in a base station and renewed through the automatic location registration pro-cedure. Accordingly, the base station usually broadcasts a paging signal, i.e., an incoming signal to a base station with the registered MID and may no~ broadcast a paging signal with the other MID. However, in the event that an emergency paging method, in which a paging to a mobile ~elephone is made with all the MIDs that the mobile telephone has, is adopted, the mobile tele~hone in accordance with this embodiment may receive a~
incoming call with any MIDs that the mobile telephone has.
Although an embodiment applied to a mobile telephone apparatus has been described, it is apparent to those skilled in this art that this invention may be easily applied to any kind of radio telecommunication apparatus, for example, to a transportable type radio telephone or a porta-ble type radio telephone. This invention also is applicable to a cordless telephone system wherein a plurality of zones are covered by a plurality o~
base units and a mobiIe unit (a cordless telephone) is capable of communi-cating with the apparatus wherever the mobile unit moves aroun~l within the zones. Furthermore, the concepts of the present invention may be applied to a data transmissiDn apparatus used in a cellular radio telecom-munication system.
number, a call from the caller is never receivsd by the cellular radio telephone even though the system broadcasts a paging signal accompanied with the other ID
number and the cellular radio telephone i5 not busy.
S~MMA~Y OF 'T~ INVENTION
It is accordingly an object of an aspect o~ the present invention to provide novel radio telecommunication apparatus having a plurality of ID
numbers in which an ID number is properly selected from a plurality o~ ID numbers.
It is an ob~ect of an aspect of ths present invention to provide a novel radio telecommunication apparatus having a plurality of ID mlmbers in which it is not necessary ~or a user to select an ID number to be transmitted, thereby the operability of the te:Lephone is greatly improved.
It is an object of an aspect of the present invention to provide an improved rad;;o telecommunication apparatus having a plurality of ID mlmbers in which the proper ID number for the present area is selected so that charges for the usage of radio channels is reduced as much as possible.
It is an object of an aspect of the present invention to provide an improved radio telecommunication apparatus having a plurality of ID numbers in which an incoming call addressed to any one of the plurality of ID numbers can be received.
According to this invention, an ID number is automatically selected in response to a system identification number (SID) transmitted from a base station. Figure 3 is a diagram which illustrates the principles of the present invention applied to a cellular radio telecommunication system in which a MTS0 is connected to a plurality of base stations, each covering a cell. Referring to Figure 3, the rellular radio telephone 301 comprises a memory 302 for storing a plurality of ID numbers, such as ID #1 and ID #2, which are associated with a plurality of corresponding system identification numbers, such as- SID #1 and SID #2.
When the cellular radio telephone is located within home area #1, the telephone receives SID #l transmitted from MTS0 303, in which ID #1 is registered, via a base station at the time of initialization, in a standby mode, or prior to a call origination. Responsive to the reception of SID #1, cellular radio telephone 301 selects the corresponding identification number ID #1 13183~
-4a-from memory 302 and transmits the selected number to MTSO
303 via a base unit. MTSO 303 receives the ID #1 and compares the ID #1 with identification numbers previously regis~ered in MTSO 303. Since ID #l is already registered in MTSO 303, ~TSO 303 treats cellular radio telephone 301 as a home area user traveling within a home area. Accord-ingly, speech charges in this case are cheaper than that in the case where cellular radio telephone 301 is treated as a roamer by transmitting ID #2.
If cellular radio telephone 301 travels out of area #1 and enters area #2, telephone 301 receives 5ID #2 from MTSO
304, in which ID #2 is registered, via a base station at the time of initialization, in a standby state, or prior to a call origination. Responsive to the reception of S~D #2, telephone 301 transmits the corresponding identification number ID #~ to MTSO 304 via a base stationO Accordingly, telephone 301 entering area #2 is treated as a home area user in a home area by MTSO 304. Thus, speech charges are cheaper than in the case where ths user is treated as a roamer. Accordingly, it is not necessary for a user of the cellular radio telephone to operate the changeover switch.
In accordance with another feature of the present invention, when an incoming call, including an identification number, is received by the cellular radio telephone, all of the identification numbers stored in the cellular radio telephone are checked for coincidence with the received identification number. Thus, a caller may call a cellular radio telephone by dialing any one of a plurality of identification numbers registered in the cellular radio telephone.

~3~835~ --DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBC)DIMENT
A preferred embodiment of the present invention applied in a mobile telephone will be described with reYerence to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an arrangement of a mobile tel-ephone apparatus according to an embodiment af the present invention.
Referring to Figure 4, mobile telephone apparatu~s lOO comprises antenna 200, radio unit 300 and telephone unit 400. Antenna 200 is mounted on an outer body surface of an automobile. Telephone unit 400 is mounted near the driver's seat inside the automobile.
Radio unit 300 includes radio section 310 for establ~shing radio chan-nels 600 with a base station (not shown) through antenna 200 and for exchanging si~nals therewith, radio unit controller 330 for controlling the overall operations of the apparatus, voice synthesis circuit 350 for synthe-sizing voices, ID ROM 370 for storing ID numbers with the corresponding system identification numbers and power source 390 for supplying power from the battery mounted in the automobile to the above components through fuse 508.
Telephone unit 400 includes handset eontroller 418 for controlling the overall operations OI telephone unit 400 in response to instructions or the like from radio unit controller 330, key unit 430 for entering key inputs, display unit 450 for displaying numerical or alphabetical characters in response to control signals from handset controllel 41~, switches 470 including a hook switch and a power switch, and selectable audio inpu~/output units 490a and 490b for inputting or output~ing as~ au~ible sound. Telephone unit 400 may be divided into main unit 400a and handset 400b. Micropt~one 494 may be a hands-free microphone 494 mounted on a sun visor or the like near the driver~s seat and is connected to main unit ~OOa. Loudspeaker 492 may be mounted in main unit ~OOa. Hand3et con-troller 418, key unit 430, and display unit 450 are mounted in handset 400b.
Handset microphone ~66 and handset receiver 498 constitute audio inputJ
output unit 490b of handset 400b.
Each section o~ radio unit 300, main unit 400a and handset 400b is supplied power by way oi a power line lOOS extending from power source 390 in radia unit 300. The opened or closed status oY switches 470 is trans-mitted to power source 390 or radio unit controller 330 by way of line lOOO
-6- ~.3:L~356 ---or line 1001, respectively. Control and/or command signals are transmitted between handset controller 418 and radio unit controller 330 by way of line 1002. Audio signals are transmitted by way of lines 1003. Radio unit con-troller 330 sends control signals to audio input/output unit 490a, 490b by way of lines 1004.
Eiigure 5 is a block diagram showing a detailed arrangement of the radio unit of Figure 4. Referring to Figure 5, radio section 310 comprises demodulator 312, modulator 314 and synthesizer 320. Demodulator 312 demodulates a radio signal received from the base station through radio channels 600, antenna 200 and duplexer 318. It should be noted that this signal includes audible sound signals and control signals. Modulator 314 modulates the audio and control signals received from audio controller 3û0 and generates the required transmission signals.
Power amplifier 316 amplifies the transmission signals received from modulator 314. The amplification of power amplifier 316 may be con-tinuous or variable in a step-wise fashion, e.g., 8-step variable. Duplexer 318 sends the signals received through radio channel 600 to demodulator 312 and the signals from modulator 314 and power amplifier 316 to antenna 20Q. Synthesizer 320 is formed of a channel selection local oscillator and specifies a frequency from which signals are demodulated by demodulator 312 and a frequency to which signals are modulated by modulator 314.
About 866 channels are available from synthesizer 320.
Radio unit controller 330 ~s formed at central processing unit (CPU) 331, oscillator/frequency divider 332, address decoder 333, ROM 33~, RAM
335, radio controller 336, audio circuit 33~, control signal prucessor 338, audio circuit controller 339, digital interface 340, power controller 341 and interrupt controller 3~2. Reference numerals 343, 344 and 345 denote a data bus, an address bus and a control bus, respectively. CPU 331 controls the operation of radio unit controller 330. Oscillator/frequency divider 332 supplies clock signals to CPU 331 and divides the clock signals to supply appropriate ~requency-divided pulses a!s timing pulses to each section of the mobile telephone apparatus requiring them. Address decoder 333 out-puts predetermined operation signals to the components in response to instruction signals from CPU 331. ROM 334 stores various programs required for operation of CPU 331. RAM 335 stores various types of data 3~3~
during processing for use by CPU 331. Radio controller 336 controls radio section 310 in response to instructions from CPIJ 331. For example, radio controller 336 sends signals indicative of available frequencies to synthe-sizer 320, signals indicative of an amplification level to power amplifier 316, and signals indicative of modulation parameters to modulator 314.
Radio controller 336 receives a step-out signal from synthesizer 320 and output power detection signals from power amplifier 316 and forwards these signals to CPU 331, thereby preventing operational errors.
Audio circuit 337 extracts control signals and audio signals from the received signals demodulated by demodulator 312 and supplies ~he control signals to control signal processor 338 and the audio signals to telephone unit ~00. Audio circuit 33~ also supplies a control signal from control sig-nal processor 338 and audio signals from telephone set 400 to modulator 314. It should be noted that audio circuit 337 also arranges the waveform of the control signal to be sent to control signal processor 338 in a particu-lar signal format and filters the control signal to be supplied to modulator 314. Control signal processor 338 acquires bit and frame synchronization with the control signal from audio circuit 337. Maintaining the required synchroni7ation, control signal processor 338 converts the serial control signals, including control data received from a base station, into parallel signals and converts the parallel control data signals to be transmitted to a base station into serial signals. The control signals are sent to and from the base station via audio circuit 337.
Audio circuit controller 339 controls audio circuit 337. Under the control of audio circuit controller 339, for example, audio circuit 337 applies the received signals from demodulator 312 to control signal proces-sor 338 or telephone unit 400 and sele~tively receives the signals from con-trol signal processor 338 or telephone ul~}t 400. Digital interface 340 inter-faces the data communication between radio unit 300 and telephone unit 400. Power controller 341 controls power source 390 and sets a voltage supplied from battery 506 to power source 390 to a predetermined level.
The voltage having the predetermined level is supplied to the respective circuit components.
Figure 6 ~s a diagram which illustra~es the contents of ID ROM 370 shown in Figures 4 and 5. In this embodiment, three mooile identification - 8 - ~31L8~
numbers MIDl-3, which are identification numbers for the mobile tele-phone, are stored with corresponding system identification numbers :SID1-3 at predetermined addresses in ID ROM 310, i.e., FF00-FF20. In this case, a user has to register mobile identifi~ation number MID1 to a MTSO whose system identification number is SIDl as a home area user. Likewise, MID2 and MID3 have to be registered to MTSOs having SID2 and SID3, respectively.
A connection control operation of mobile telephone apparatus 100 will now be described with reference to Figure 7. When the power switch in switch unit 470 o~ telephone unit 4û0 is turned on, the respective compo-nents are powered by power source 390 (step 801).
Figure 8 is a detailed flow chart which illustrates the initial radio channel connection operation af ter the power supply is turned on. In response to a control signal from CPU 331, radio controller 336 in radio unit controller 330 controls synthesizer 320 to change the frequency of output therefrom. Thereby, a predetermined range of control channels (referred to as D channels hereinafter) are scanned in demodulator 312 to obtain the information indicative of electric field intensity oî the received signals over each channel ~step 13û1). The channel having the strongest electric field intensity is selected from the D channels and the apparatus is ready for receiving signals through the D channel having the strongest electric field intensity. In this case, information of a channel having the second strongest intensity is also obtained.
IJnder the control of CPU 331, audio circuit controller 339 controls audio circuit 337 so tha~ the output of demodulator 312 is applied to the input of control signal processor 338 and the output of control signal pro-cessor 338 is applied to the inpu~ of modulator 31~.
Control signal processor 338 performs bit and frame synchronization operations on signals received through the selected D channel (step 1302).
Thereby, a communication link is established between the mobile telephone and a base station. System information is then detected by signals received through this D channel at control signal processor 338 (step 1303) and sent to CPU 331. The system informa~ion includes a system identification num-ber (SID) and a range ot frequency channels (referred to as P channels hereinafter) to be scanned next. The rec0ivecl SID represents a MTSO
~31~3~
covering the area where the mobile telephone is located. CPU 331 stores the SID in a SID register of RAM 335. Also CPU 331 compares the received SID with SIDs stored in ID R(:)M 370 (Figures 4 and 6). Referring to Figure 6, in the event that the received SID coincides with one of the stored SlDs, (SIDl, SID2, SID3) CPU 331 selects a MID corresponding to the coincided SID. In the event that the received SID does not coincide with any one of the stored SIDs, CP[J 331 selects a MID having a predetermined priority.
The selected MID is stored in a MID register of RAM 335 as an identifica-tion number for the mobile telephone (step 1305).
If the word sywhronization or system information reception is not performed within a predetermined period of time, the D channel having the second strongest intensity is used to repeat the above operation (step 1304~.
In this case, if word synchronization or system information reception 1s again not performed within the predetermined period of tim0, the demodulator scans the D channels again (step 1301).
When the above initialization operations are completed, scanning similar to the above scanning operation is performed for the P channels for receiving an incoming signal (step 803 in Figure 7).
Figure 9 is a detailed flow chart which illustrates the P channel con-nection after initialization. Responsive to a control signal from CPU 331, radio controller 336 controls synthesizer 320 to change the frequency of the output therefrom so that P channels are scanned in demodulator 312 (step 1401) to obtain the information indicative of the electric fiPld inten-sity of the re~eived signals. The apparatus is ready for receiving in~orma-tion through the P channe} having the strongest electric field intensity. In this case, information indicative of the P channel having the second stroa-gest intensity is a~so obtainedO
Contrd signal processor 338 performs bit and frame synchroni~ation operations on signals received through the P channel which has the s~ron-gest electric field intensity (step 1402). After acquiring synchronization, control signal processor 38 obtains system information, including a SID rep-resenting a MTSO serving for the mobile telephone, from the following information signals (step 1403) and sends it to CPU 331.
Then, CPU 331 compares the obtained SID with SIDs stored in ID
ROM 370 (Figures ~ and 6). Re~erring to Figure 6, in the event that the - lo- ~318356 obtainecl SID coincides with one of the stored SIDs (SID1, SID2 or SID3) CPU
331 selects a MID corresponding to the coincided SID. In the event that the obtained SID does not coincide with any one of the stored SIDS, CPU 331 selects a MID having a predetermined priority. The selected MID is s~ored in a MID register of RAM 335 (Figure 5) as an identification number of the mobile telephone (step 14û5).
If the word synchronization or system information reception is not performed within a predetermined period of time, an operation similar to the one described above is performed for the P channel ha~ring the second strongest interlsity (step 1404). In this case, when word synchronization or system information reception is again not performed within the predete~
mined period of time, initialization is resumed (step 1102). If position information is not obtained from system information, initialization is al~
resumed (step 1102). The above connection control operations set the apparatus to the receive standby mode (step 1104).
Next, a call origination processing sequence will be describedO Fig-ure 10 is a detailed flow chart showing outgoing call processing.
In the standby state in step 804 of Figure ?, when a call request is detected by an input at the key unit 430, a timer ~or counting a call recep, tion time is set (step 1201). The set time is, e.g., 12 seconds.
Thereaf ter, the audio controller in the radio unit cause~ the demodulator to scan each predetermined control channel (step 1202~ to obtain reception electric field intensity information. The channel having the strongest electric field intensity is selected from these contrDl chan-nels and the apparatus is set to receive a signals through the control chan-nel having the strongest intensity. In this case, information indicative of the control channel having the second strongest electric field intensity is also obtained.
Next, the presence of the user wishing to make a call is checked (step 1203). This check is performed as follows. If the user enters a tel~
phone number to be called on key pad 430 and depresses the ~'SEND" key, these key inputs are detected by handset controller 418. Handset controller 418 sends a detection signal to CPU 331 in radio unit controller 330.
Responsive to the detection slgnal, a call flag In CPU 331 is set at a lagic "1." In this case~ the apparatus determines that the user wishes to make a .3~L~3~6 --call. However, if the user depresses the "END" key after depression of the "SEND~' key, the call flag is reset at a logic "0." In this case, the apparatus determines that the user does not wish to make a call and initialization is resumed (step 802).
Control signal processor 338 performs bit and frame synchronization operations of the currently reeeived control channel. That is, word syn-chronization thereof to obtain system information from this control chan-nel. CPU 331 then obtains a SID from the received system information and compares the obtained SID with SIDs stored in ID PcOM 3~0 (Figure~ 4 and 6). Referring to Figure 6, in the event that the obtained SID coincides with one of the stored SIDs, CPU 331 selects a MID corresponding to the coin-cided SID. In the event that the obtained SID coincides with neither one of the stored SIDs, CPU 331 selects a MID having priority which is predeter-mined. The selected i~lID is stored in the MID register of RAM 335 (Figure 5) as an identification number of the mobile telephone (step 1204). How-ever, if word synchronization cannot be performed, the same operation is performed using the control channel having the second strongest intensity (step 1205). In this case~ if no word synchronization can be performed, initialization is resumed ~step 802).
And then, the apparatus confirms again whether the user wishes to make a call Istep 1206). As described above, if the call flag is set at logic "1," the apparatus determines that the user wishes to make a call. How ever, if the call flag is set at logic "0," the apparatus determines that the user does not wish to make a call and initialization is resumed (step 802).
CPU 331 confirms whether the selected control channel is appropri-ate for the origination signal to be broadcast by analyzing the system infor-mation signal from a base station. IJpon the selection of an appropriate control channel, a ctlannel selection flag in CPU 331 is changed from logic "O" to "1." ~Iowever, if any appropriate control channel is not selected, initialization is resumed (step 802) without changing the content of the channel selection flag. If the selection of an appropriate control channel ~s delayed ~step 1208), the apparatus checks again whether the user wishes to make a call. (step 1206).
If CPU 331 detects that the user wishes to make a call (i.e., the call flag is set at logic "1") and an appropriate control channel for broadcast of - 12- ~3~83~
an origination signal ~s selected (i.e., the channel selection flag is set at logic ~ ), a call origination signal including the telephone number to be called, which is entered by the user, is transmitted over this control chan nel with a MID (step 12û9). At this time, the MID to be transrnitted is stored in the MID register of RAM 335 (Figure 5) in step 1305 of Figure 8, step 1405 of Figure 9 or step 1204. Accordingly, as a MID corresponding to a SID assigned to the serving MTSO is stored in the MID register of RAM
335, if any, the mobile telephone may be treated as a homer by the MTSO.
Immediately after the call origination signal with the MID is trans-mitted, CPU 331 sends the MID to handset controller 418 of transceiver unit 400b via digital interface 340. Receiving the MID, handset controller ~18 controls display unit 450 so that the MID is displayed ~step 121Q~. Also, CPU 331 may control voice synthesizer 350 so that sounds corresponding to the MID are synthesized and contrQl audio circuit 33~ so that the synthe-sized sounds are generated from loudspeaker 492.
Thereafter, the mobile telephone apparatus detects whether the acknowledge signal from the base station has been received ~step 1211).
The base station calls the other party to be called on the basis of the tele-phone number included in the origination signal. A communication link may then be established between the mobile telephone apparatus and the called telephone apparatus (step 1212). Otherwise, initialization is resumed (step 802). Thus, a communication link can be established as mentioned above (step 810), and thereafter the communication is closed.
As has been described, whenever a call is originated in response to an operation by a user, an MID corresponding ~o an SID of the MTSO serv-ing the mobile telephone is transmitted to a base station. Accordingly, since the MTSO treats the mobile telephone as a home area user, it reduces speech charges for the mobile telephone.
In the present cellular radio telephone system, in addition to a call origination procedure, a 1Ocation registration proc~ure is provided. In this procedure, to register a location where the mobile telephone exists to a base station, an MID of the mobile telephone is automatically transmitt~d to the base station. This procedure occurs by a request from a base station or during a processing of the mobile telephone and is not actuated by a user~s operation. Before this procedure, a mobile telephon~ can obtain a - 13 ~
system identification number through an initializatiorl procedure (step 802 of Figure 7) or the other procedures. Therefore, the mobile telephone may transmit an MID corresponding to an SID of the MTSO serving the mobile telephone In the automatic location registration procedure before a call is made by a user of the apparatus.
Furthermore, although CPU 331 selects an MID having a predeter-mined priority in the event that the received SID does nat coincide with any one of the stored SIDs, an MID corresponcling tO an SID which is the most similar one with the received SID may be selec~ed by comparing the received SID with the stored SIDs. For example, in the event that the received SID is "11111111", and SIDs ~ 110~1 and 1~99999999~l are stored, a MID corresponding to the ~ID "11111110" is selected. AccordilIg to this embodiment, in the case that the SIDs are sequentially assigned to a pluraI-ity of ~TSOs by a geographical order, speech charges for the mobile tele-phone may be reduced since the mobile telephone is treated as a roamer from a near area.
Filrthermore, the content o~ MID register of RAM 335 may be dis-played in response to a user~s input for confirmation. For example, when the user depresses a predetermined order of keys on key unit ~30, handset controller 418 detects this key input, reads the MID stored in the MID reg-ister of RAM 335, and controls display unit 450 so tha~ the read MID is dis-played on display unit 450. ~lso, upon the input for confirmation, CPU 331 may control voice synthesi~er 35û so that sounds corresponding to the MID
stored in the MID register of RAM 335 are synthesized and contro~ audio circuit 337 so t~at the synthesize~ sounds are generated from loudspeaker 492.
A further feature of the present invention will now be described.
Referring again to Figure ~, in the standby state of step 804, the apparatus awaits an incoming call. Signals received over a selected P channel are applied to CPU 331 through audio circuit 337 and control signal processor 338. CPU 331 then examines whether the signals comprise one of the MID1-MID3 registered in ID ROM 370. Upon a match of an MID, a speech communication link is established by using the matched ID thereafter until the speech communication link is terminated. Then, an acknowledge signal is sent back through a predetermined channel (step 1105). At the same 3 ~
time, scanning of control channels (referred to as A channels hereinafter) for receiving control signals from the base station is performed in the same manner as for D and P channels. A frequency range of A channels is desig-nated in the system information addressed to the apparatus which is obtained from signals transmitted via the P channel.
Responsive to a control signal from CPU 331, radio controller 336 controls synthesizer 320 to change the frequency of output therefrom so that A cham~els are scanned in demodulator 312 to obtain the information indicative of electric field intensity of tha received signal. The apparatus is then ready for receiving information through the A channels having the strongest elec~ric field ineensi~y. Thereafter, control signal processor 338 performs bit and frame synchronization operations, i.e., word synchroniza-tion. This radio channel communication using A channels is also a commu;
nication link between the mobile telephone and the base station. When a speech channel designation signal accompanied with said match ID is received through the A channeLs, the channels are switched to the desig-nated speech channels which include a forward channel for transmitting audio signals to the base station and a backward channel for receiving audio signals from the calling apparatus via the base station (step 1107). Thereby a communication link has been established between the mobile telephone and the calling apparatus via the base station.
When the user responds to the ringing tone by depressing the ~SEND~
key, handset controller 418 detects the key operation and sends a control signal of ~SENDI~ key operation to CPU 331 via digital interface 34~ by way of ~ es 1002. Also in the even~ that ~he user takes handset 400b o~f-hook, information indicating the closed state of the hook switch in switch 470 (Figure 4) is transmitted to CPU 331 via digital interface 340 by way of line 1001. Responsive to the off-hook control signal or the information, CPU
331 sends a connection signal to audio circuit controller 339. Receiving the connection signal, audio circuit controll2r 339 controls audio circuit 337 so that demodulator 312 and modulator 314 are connected to audio input/output unit g90 by way of line 1003. Accordingly, the user may com-municate with the calling party by using hands-free microphone 494 and loudspeaker 492 or handset mlcrophone 466 and handset receiver 498.
When fading occurs for a predetermined period of time or longe~ in the -15- ~L3~83~
speech channel reception mode (step 1106), the acknowledge signal sending state (step l104~ or a communication enable state (step 1110), the transmis-sion function is disabled (step 1108). When the transmission function is disabled (step 1108), initialization is resumed (step 1102).
In the present cellular radio telephone system, as previously described, a location information of a mobile telephone ~s registered in a base station and renewed through the automatic location registration pro-cedure. Accordingly, the base station usually broadcasts a paging signal, i.e., an incoming signal to a base station with the registered MID and may no~ broadcast a paging signal with the other MID. However, in the event that an emergency paging method, in which a paging to a mobile ~elephone is made with all the MIDs that the mobile telephone has, is adopted, the mobile tele~hone in accordance with this embodiment may receive a~
incoming call with any MIDs that the mobile telephone has.
Although an embodiment applied to a mobile telephone apparatus has been described, it is apparent to those skilled in this art that this invention may be easily applied to any kind of radio telecommunication apparatus, for example, to a transportable type radio telephone or a porta-ble type radio telephone. This invention also is applicable to a cordless telephone system wherein a plurality of zones are covered by a plurality o~
base units and a mobiIe unit (a cordless telephone) is capable of communi-cating with the apparatus wherever the mobile unit moves aroun~l within the zones. Furthermore, the concepts of the present invention may be applied to a data transmissiDn apparatus used in a cellular radio telecom-munication system.
