Abstract
Abstract A communication system is disclosed having a base station and a cordless mobile station for communicating with the base station. The base station includes a data interface for connection to a data line in a normal mode of operation. The base station has a detector and a transmitter. The detector detects whether the data interface is connected to the data line. In response to the detector detecting that the data interface is not connected to the data line, the transmitter transmits a test signal to the cordless mobile station for measuring the field strength of the test signal received thereby.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A communication system comprising: a base station having a data interface for connection to a data line in a normal mode of operation; and a cordless mobile station which communicates with the base station; said base station having a detector and a transmitter, said transmitter transmitting a test signal to said cordless mobile station in response to said detector detecting that the data interface is not connected to the data line.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
A communication system comprising: a base station having a data interface for connection to a data line in a normal mode of operation; and a cordless mobile station which communicates with the base station; said base station having a detector and a transmitter, said transmitter transmitting a test signal to said cordless mobile station in response to said detector detecting that the data interface is not connected to the data line.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The communication system of claim 1, wherein said transmitter transmits said test signal in response to said detector detecting that the data interface is connected to a power supply.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The communication system of claim 1, wherein said cordless mobile station includes a receiver which receives said test signal and a field strength detector which measures a field strength of said test signal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
A cordless mobile station comprising: a receiver which receives a test signal transmitted by a base station in response to a data interface of said base station being connected to a power supply instead of a data line; and a field strength detector which measures a field strength of said test signal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
A cordless mobile station comprising: a receiver which receives a test signal transmitted by a base station in response to a data interface of said base station being connected to a power supply instead of a data line; and a field strength detector which measures a field strength of said test signal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
81 words
A service case for a communication system comprising: a base station having a data interface for connection to a data line in a normal mode of operation; a cordless mobile station which communicates with the base station; said base station having a detector and a transmitter, said transmitter transmitting a test signal to said cordless mobile station in response to said detector detecting that the data interface is connected to a power supply instead of being connected to the data line.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
81 words
A service case for a communication system comprising: a base station having a data interface for connection to a data line in a normal mode of operation; a cordless mobile station which communicates with the base station; said base station having a detector and a transmitter, said transmitter transmitting a test signal to said cordless mobile station in response to said detector detecting that the data interface is connected to a power supply instead of being connected to the data line.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
