Abstract
Abstract A switching scheme is provided for a telephone exchange having an attached switching section for serving mobile sets. Subscriber-line circuits are provided in the said section, each allotted to a mobile subscriber. A ''''Y'''' switching group in said section is equipped with twin cross-points, one branch of the ''''Y'''' leading to the radio circuits, the other to the mobilesuscriber circuits through a terminal switching group. The mobile-subscriber circuits are tested as to the class of service, busy condition etc., before a through-connection is established between a calling line in the exchange and a radio channel to reach the called mobile, or vice versa.
