Cordless communication system operating under the dect standard

Claim 2

A cordless communication system, comprising: a plurality of terminals; and a plurality of radio sets with which the terminals can communicate, each radio set being able to simultaneously handle up to a predetermined number of communications without being saturated, each terminal locking onto one of the plurality of radio sets, each terminal being continually aware of the state of the radio set onto which it is locked, and responsive to the radio set becoming saturated, the terminal triggers an operation of locking onto another radio set.

Claim 3

A cordless communication system comprising: a plurality of terminals; a plurality of radio sets with which the terminals can communicate, each radio set being able to simultaneously handle up to a predetermined number of communications without being saturated, each terminal locking onto one of the plurality of radio sets, each terminal being continually aware of the state of the radio set onto which it is locked, and responsive to the radio set being saturated, the terminal triggers an operation of locking onto another radio set; and radio controllers linked groupwise to the plurality of radio sets, the radio controllers being linked to a telephone network, each terminal being aware of the state of the radio controller linked to its radio set, and responsive to the radio controller being saturated, the terminal triggers an operation of locking onto another radio set linked to another radio controller.

Claim 4

A cordless communication system comprising: a plurality of terminals; a plurality of radio sets with which the terminals can communicate, each radio set being able to simultaneously handle up to a predetermined number of communications without being saturated, each terminal locking onto one of the plurality of radio sets, each terminal being continually aware of the state of the radio set onto which it is locked, and responsive to the radio set being saturated, the terminal triggers an operation of locking onto another radio set; and radio controllers linked groupwise to the plurality of radio sets, the radio controllers being linked to a telephone network, each terminal being aware of the state of the radio controller linked to its radio set, and responsive to the radio controller being saturated, the terminal triggers an operation of locking onto another radio set linked to another radio controller.

Claim 5

The system according to claim 1 , wherein: the cordless communication system is operating under the DECT standard; and the predetermined number of communications each radio set is able to handle without being saturated is twelve.

Claim 6

The system according to claim 1 , wherein each terminal examines the state of the radio set onto which it is locked.

Claim 7

The system according to claim 2 , wherein each terminal examines the state of the radio controller linked to the radio set onto which the terminal is locked.

Claim 8

A cordless communication system, comprising: a plurality of terminals; a plurality of radio sets with which the terminals can communicate, each terminal locking onto one of the plurality of radio sets; and one or more radio controllers linked groupwise to the plurality of radio sets, the radio controllers being linked to a telephone network, and responsive to a particular radio controller being saturated, the terminal, which is locked to the radio set linked to that particular radio controller, triggers an operation of locking onto another radio set linked to another radio controller.

Claim 9

A cordless communication system, comprising: a plurality of terminals; a plurality of radio sets with which the terminals can communicate, each terminal locking onto one of the plurality of radio sets; and one or more radio controllers linked groupwise to the plurality of radio sets, the radio controllers being linked to a telephone network, and responsive to a particular radio controller being saturated, the terminal, which is locked to the radio set linked to that particular radio controller, triggers an operation of locking onto another radio set linked to another radio controller.

Claim 10

The system according to claim 6 , wherein each terminal examines the state of the radio controller linked to the radio set onto which the terminal is locked.
