Device for fixing the duration of waiting periods between attempts to establish a connection between a terminal and a mobile radio system
First Claim
1. Device for seeking a connection between a terminal and a mobile radio system comprising a synchronization unit for determining, in response to a control signal, whether said connection can be achieved and a time-delay unit for producing, after an initial period, said control signal after a first waiting period, said time-delay unit producing said control signal again after a second waiting period if said synchronization unit determines that said connection cannot be achieved after said first waiting period, said time delay unit further comprising means for fixing a duration of said second waiting period so that it is greater than that of said first waiting period, wherein said device is implemented in said terminal having a battery whose capacity is represented by capacity information held in said time-delay unit, and said time-delay unit comprises means for fixing at least one of said first and second waiting periods according to said capacity information.

Abstract
A device for seeking a connection between a terminal and a mobile radio system includes a synchronization unit for establishing in response to a control signal if the connection can be achieved and a time-delay unit for producing, after an initial period, the control signal after a first waiting period. The time-delay unit produces the control signal again after a second waiting period if it is established that the connection cannot be achieved after the first waiting period. The time-delay unit fixes the duration of the second waiting period so that it is greater than that of the first waiting period. If the device is implemented in a terminal having a battery whose capacity is represented by a capacity indicator, the time-delay unit fixes at least one of the waiting periods according to the capacity indicator.
