Mobile radiotelephone system and broadcast station

Claim 2

A mobile radio telephone system, comprising: a service station for providing radio contact with at least one mobile broadcast station via intermediately connected switching units, and which exchanges digital data with said mobile station; the mobile broadcast station containing a microprocessor for controlling data communication, the microprocessor accessing a first memory area in which an original control program to be processed by the microprocessor is stored; a loading control program stored in a second memory area; the microprocessor accessing the loading control program in dependence on a loading command; the microprocessor receiving data of a new control program during the processing of the loading control program from the service station and storing the new control program data in a third memory area; the microprocessor accessing the new control program and processing the new control program in place of the original control program after the storing of the new control program for controlling the data communication between the service station and the mobile broadcast station; the broadcast station contains a non-volatile memory and a unit for at least sector wise electrical erasing of the non-volatile memory; the non-volatile memory containing all of the first, second, and third memory areas; and the microprocessor, after appearance of the loading command, copying the loading control program to a start of the non-volatile memory.

Claim 3

The mobile radiotelephone system according to claim 1 wherein the microprocessor, towards an end of the processing of the loading control program, copies it into a predetermined area of the non-volatile memory and then copies the new control program to said start of the non-volatile memory.

Claim 4

A mobile radio telephone system, comprising: a service station for providing radio contact with at least one mobile broadcast station via intermediately connected switching units, and which exchanges digital data with said mobile station; the mobile broadcast station containing a microprocessor for controlling data communication, the microprocessor accessing a first memory area in which an original control program to be processed by the microprocessor is stored; a loading control program stored in a second memory area; the microprocessor accessing the loading control program in dependence on a loading command; the microprocessor receiving data of a new control program during the processing of the loading control program from the service station and storing the new control program data in a third memory area; the microprocessor accessing the new control program and processing the new control program in place of the original control program after the storing of the new control program for controlling the data communication between the service station and the mobile broadcast station; the broadcast station containing a non-volatile memory and a unit for at least sector wise electrical erasing of the non-volatile memory; the non-volatile memory containing all of the first, second, and third memory areas; and the non-volatile memory and the microprocessor being connected via an address bus, a logic module for changing addresses on the address bus, the microprocessor controlling the logic module after appearance of the loading command so that the addresses on the address bus are changed to an address value under which the loading control program is stored, and the microprocessor deactivating the logic module after the processing of the loading control program in order not to change the addresses on the address bus.

Claim 5
