Abstract: In a selective calling communication system, the number of times a paging signal is transmitted and a paging signal transmission interval can be changed in response to a request of a calling party, and the paging signal is transmitted the changed number of times and/or at changed intervals, so that the paging signal can be received at a higher probability than before, thus making it possible to realize a selective calling communication system which can improve the reliability of reception as compared with conventional systems.
