Abstract: In a mobile radio communication system wherein, in order to call a receiver from a base station, a paging signal containing address information corresponding to the receiver to be called is transmitted n times, the position of a paging signal that is transmitted for the second or subsequent time is determined, in accordance with a prearranged rule, in relation to the position of the same paging signal when it was transmitted for the first time, and the receiver achieves more efficient battery savings by stopping its receiving operation with respect to signal portions which have been confirmed as having already been received without error. The receiving operation is intermittently stopped at a timing corresponding to identical signal portions of the same repeatedly received paging signal.

Abstract: A mobile communications system including a plurality of communications networks, each of which has one location register (a home location register or gate location register) and one or more visitor registers. Each of the visitor registers is located in each one of visiting areas for storing information about a communication terminal. The location register stores the number of the visitor register of the visiting area in which the communication terminal is present, and the information about the communication terminal. When the communication terminal moves between the communications networks, the information about the communication terminal is transferred between the location registers. When the communication terminal moves between the visiting areas in the same communications network, the information about the communication terminal is provided from the location register to the visitor register.

Abstract: In a mobile communications system wherein the transmission form changes in the course of the signal, high quality transmission of change information relating to the transmission form is obtained. To achieve this, information giving advance notice of a change is transmitted prior to transmitting the change information relating to the transmission form. Even if a situation arises in which transmitted information has not been conveyed without error at a scheduled change time that was notified in advance, it is possible to resolve this situation by referring to the information giving advance notice of the change. This enables faulty paging and other defects resulting from erroneous changes of transmission form to be reduced.

Abstract: A system wherein time diversity reception is performed for each error-corrected or error-detected code word without distinguishing between the address signal and the message signal, the code words being the units which make up the address and message signals. A received signal comprising correctly decoded code words is obtained by selecting code words that are judged to have been correctly decoded in accordance with error detecting/correcting logic from among code words with the same content that have been received a plurality of times. When a code word has been correctly decoded, part of the selective radio paging receiver is inhibited from working during the time intervals when correctly received code words would be received, thereby decreasing battery consumption.

Abstract: In a system with a spread spectrum transmitter and receiver employing composite spreading codes, the transmitter spreads, in a spreading part, a baseband modulated signal by a short code from a short code generator and a long code from a long code generator with a longer chip period than that of the short code and then transmits the spread baseband modulated signal. The receiver despreads a spread baseband received signal in a receiving part by a pair of short and long codes in one despreading part to obtain a baseband modulated signal of a direct path and despreads the spread baseband received signal by the pair of short and long codes delayed by a multipath delay time difference in the other despreading part to obtain a baseband modulated signal of a delayed path, and the baseband modulated signals thus obtained are diversity-detected to obtain a detected baseband signal.
