Radio channel control method for mobile communication system
First Claim
1. A radio channel control method for a mobile communication system in which a plurality of base stations share a plurality of channels and each selects any of the channels for setting up a call with any of a plurality of mobile stations independently of the other base stations, said radio channel control method comprising the steps of:
- (a) at a time of channel selection, scanning at a base station all the channels to measure the reception field strength of each of the channels and, thereby, to check whether or not an electromagnetic wave is being emitted;
(b) selecting at said base station one channel out of the channels which show no reception sensitivity while excluding the channels which show reception sensitivity;
(c) transmitting from said base station to at least one of said mobile stations a pilot signal on the selected channel;
(d) awaiting reception at said at least one mobile station of said pilot signal and, in response to reception of said pilot signal, transmitting from said mobile station on the selected channel a signal for call origination;
(e) awaiting reception at said base station of a call origination signal over said selected channel; and
(f) repeating the performance of steps (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) if, during the predetermined period of time, a correct call origination signal over said selected channel is not received at said base station.

Abstract
A radio channel control method for a narrow-zone mobile communication system in which a plurality of base stations share a plurality of channels and each selects any of the channels for setting up a call independently of the others, e.g. a portable telephone system or a cordless telephone system. Installed in each of all the base stations are transceiver, free to use all the channels, a device capable of indentifying channels on which radio waves have reached the own station based on reception sensitivity, a device for selecting a channel, a device for transmitting a pilot signal and others, and a device for setting up a call. The channel for a pilot signal is adequately changed to shorten a duration of cochannel interference. Connection of multiple base stations to a single mobile station is eliminated by causing each base station to add to the pilot signal identification data which is particular to the base station.
