Abstract
Abstract In a wireless telephone system, a wireless section of the base station for informing talking mobile wireless terminals of a connection request through a first frequency and for transmitting/receiving control data to a mobile wireless terminal which is in a reception waiting state through a second frequency during talking between the mobile wireless terminals is further simply constituted. Synchronous information is transmitted from the base station through the first frequency, and the first and the second mobile wireless terminals which have received the synchronous information perform a bi-directional and direct talking in a synchronized manner with the base station on the basis of the synchronous information. In this way, the base station is able to ensure a free period which is allocated to switching of the oscillation frequency of a frequency-selecting oscillators and to transmission/reception of the control data by using the second frequency, in addition to a period for transmitting the synchronous information through the first frequency.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
247 words
A wireless telephone system using time division multiple access, said system including a base station connected to a public telephone network and a plurality of mobile wireless terminals for communicating with the base station, said system being for communicating stated data between terminals of said plurality of mobile wireless terminals, wherein said plurality of mobile wireless terminals include a first wireless mobile terminal and a second wireless mobile terminal and a bi-directional communication is performed between said first wireless mobile terminal and said second wireless mobile terminal, wherein said base station includes means for transmitting synchronous information at a first period to said first and second mobile wireless terminals and said base station causes said first and second mobile wireless terminals to synchronize with said station on the basis of the transmitted synchronous information, a frequency generator, and means for transmitting and for receiving control data at a second period and a third period, respectively, that are not adjacent to each other or to said first period for providing a time for a first and a second carrier frequency generated by said frequency generator to be switched, whereby said synchronous information is transmitted using said first carrier frequency and said control data is transmitted using said second carrier frequency, said first mobile wireless terminal includes means for directly transmitting said first data to said second mobile wireless terminal, and said second mobile wireless terminal includes means for directly transmitting second data to said first mobile wireless terminal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
247 words
A wireless telephone system using time division multiple access, said system including a base station connected to a public telephone network and a plurality of mobile wireless terminals for communicating with the base station, said system being for communicating stated data between terminals of said plurality of mobile wireless terminals, wherein said plurality of mobile wireless terminals include a first wireless mobile terminal and a second wireless mobile terminal and a bi-directional communication is performed between said first wireless mobile terminal and said second wireless mobile terminal, wherein said base station includes means for transmitting synchronous information at a first period to said first and second mobile wireless terminals and said base station causes said first and second mobile wireless terminals to synchronize with said station on the basis of the transmitted synchronous information, a frequency generator, and means for transmitting and for receiving control data at a second period and a third period, respectively, that are not adjacent to each other or to said first period for providing a time for a first and a second carrier frequency generated by said frequency generator to be switched, whereby said synchronous information is transmitted using said first carrier frequency and said control data is transmitted using said second carrier frequency, said first mobile wireless terminal includes means for directly transmitting said first data to said second mobile wireless terminal, and said second mobile wireless terminal includes means for directly transmitting second data to said first mobile wireless terminal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
The wireless telephone system according to claim 1, wherein said first mobile wireless terminal transmits said first data at a fourth period that is not adjacent to said first period, and said second mobile wireless terminal transmits said second data at a fifth period that is not adjacent to said first and fourth periods.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The wireless telephone system according to claim 1, wherein said synchronous information and said first and second data are transmitted and received at a timing of a time slot that has been set for each stated period.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The wireless telephone system according to claim 1, wherein said first and second mobile wireless terminals concurrently receive said synchronous information from said base station so as to synchronize with said base station.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
61 words
The wireless telephone system according to claim 1, wherein said second mobile wireless terminal includes means for receiving said synchronous information so as to synchronize with said base station, transmitting said second data to said first mobile wireless terminal after synchronizing, and causing said first mobile wireless terminal to synchronize with said base station on the basis of the second data.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
61 words
The wireless telephone system according to claim 1, wherein said first mobile wireless terminal includes means for receiving said synchronous information so as to synchronize with said base station, transmitting said first data to said second mobile wireless terminal after synchronizing, and causing said second mobile wireless terminal to synchronize with said base station on the basis of the first data.
