Abstract: A mobile communication system is provided for decreasing power consumption in a mobile station. In the mobile communication system, a base station or a radio network control apparatus sets a threshold of signal energy to noise power density ratio of a common pilot signal according to downlink total sending power, which may change every moment, and sends the threshold to the mobile station 110. The mobile station 110 measures the ratio, and omits surrounding cell measurement when the measured ratio exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: A mobile communication system 1 according to the present invention comprises base station 30 and mobile station 10. The base station 30 sends a pilot symbol sequence known to the mobile station 10, to the mobile station 10, using a plurality of carriers for downward channels, and performs communication with the mobile station 10 while multiplying the channels by frequencywise same scrambling codes every symbol period. The mobile station 10 is provided with a peak detector 17 for calculating cross correlation allowing for a phase difference of the scrambling codes, between frequencywise pilot symbol sequences received from the base station 30, thereby detecting a radio frame boundary.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cell search method that can reduce the power consumption of a mobile station. At a first step, averaging is executed over an averaging time T1, and slot boundaries are then detected. Next, as in conventional examples, a second and a third step are serially executed, and the averaging at the first step continues to be executed concurrently with the operation of the second and third steps. Correlation values for slots over an averaging time T1? are averaged, and the averaging is further executed using an already calculated first-step average correlation value, thereby calculating an average correlation value.

Abstract: For detecting service carriers, a received power measuring section initially carries out received power measurement in a frequency band assigned to the system, a frequency limiting section limits a service carrier seeking frequency range to the vicinity of a frequency where thus measured received power exceeds a threshold, the received power measuring section measures the received power at a frequency where a service carrier may exist within this frequency range, and the controller chooses a frequency yielding a high measured received power as a service carrier candidate frequency. Then, the cell search executing section initially executes a cell search for this candidate frequency.

Abstract: The present invention increases the detection accuracy of each of a first to a third steps of cell search to reduce the time required for detecting correct frame boundaries and scramble code. A mobile station inputs a received signal to a matched filter corresponding to a primary synchronization code PSC, and a multi-slot averaging section executes averaging over a plurality of slots in order to reduce the adverse effects of noise and interference. After the averaging over the plurality of slots, a multi-search averaging section further executes averaging over a plurality of searches. Subsequently, a peak detector selects a timing with which an average correlation value is largest, to detect slot boundaries.

Abstract: The present invention reduces the time required for cell search and increase the accuracy of the cell search by determining, during selection of frame boundaries and a scramble code, whether or not the selection results are correct. A mobile station causes descramblers to descramble a received signal with eight scramble codes. Then, correlators calculate the phases of the scramble codes on the basis of frame boundaries, and despreads the signal with a spreading code for a CPICH. The mobile station performs this operation over a plurality of symbols, and causes averaging process sections to average the results. Then, a peak detector selects a scramble code with which an average correlation coefficient is largest. This maximum average correlation coefficient is output to a detection results judging section, which then calculates the ratio of this value to a reference value calculated inside the mobile station, thereby judging detection results.

Abstract: A CDMA communications system that can shorten a delay time until the establishment of traffic, and prevent excessive transmission power. Although transmission request signals RQ1, RQ2, RQ3, . . . sent from mobile stations through a common channel undergo only open loop power transmission control, and hence have large fluctuations in their received levels, their interference amount to message signals can be kept low because their received power is averagely about 1/a of that of the message signals MSG1, MSG2, MSG3, . . . The message signals are sent from the mobile stations in accordance with the power transmission control bits contained in a forward link signal ACK sent from the base station, followed by closed loop power transmission control. This enables the received level fluctuations at the base station to be kept low.

Abstract: A paging scheme for a mobile communication system which is capable of suppressing the power consumption of the mobile station by reducing the intermittent ratio while keeping an average time required for the paging shorter than a case of merely increasing a number of time-slots. Each base station transmits a paging channel on which a paging signal for each mobile station is transmitted at intermittent timings, where the paging channel has a data transmission rate higher than a required paging channel rate of the mobile communication system, so as to shorten a transmission time of the paging signal for each mobile station. Then, each mobile station judges a presence or absence of the paging signal for that mobile station by receiving the paging channel at these intermittent timings. The paging channel may have a data transmission rate which is variable.
