Abstract
Abstract A mobile radio communication system utilizes message channels of the same frequencies in separate geographic zones. Also, zones utilizing the same message channels are assigned distinguishing control codes which are transmitted with control signals to prevent control signals related to one zone from interfering with communications with another zone using the same message frequencies.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
301 words
A communication control system for a mobile radio communication network of the type having a plurality of base stations arranged in groups, each base station serving a respective small communication zone to provide wireless message channels for mobile units present in said respective small communication zone, at least one control station serving a large communication zone and connected to a group of said base stations within said large zone for receiving and transmitting clearing, cut-off and switching signals from and to said mobile units through said message channels, said message channels being provided by carrier waves of frequencies which are different for each base station within a group but common for certain base stations within different groups, characterized in that each of said mobile units includes memory means for storing a unique identifying code assigned to each of said base stations having message channels of common carrier wave frequencies, means for generating said clearing signal corresponding at least in part to said stored identifying code, means for transmitting through a message channel a carrier wave modulated by said clearing signal, at the termination of a conversation, means for receiving a carrier wave modulated by one of said cut-off and switching signals containing said identifying code, and means for comparing said stored identifying code with said received one to provide a signal for controlling said message channel, said base stations further including means for receiving and detecting said clearing signal, each said mobile unit receiving during call set-up an identifying code transmitted from and uniquely identifying the base station providing the message channel on which the call is being set-up, said mobile unit then storing the received identifying code in said memory and later using said stored, identifying code to generate said clearing signal indicating the on-hook status of said mobile unit.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A communication control system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a common control channel transmitting and receiving means at each base station for transmitting and receiving said identifying code on a carrier wave of a frequency common to all base stations.
