Claim Text:
1. A method of operating a mobile radio communication terminal, in which execution of at least one step of the method is controlled according to a device parameter which is assigned to the mobile radio communication terminal and which has exactly one of two possible device parameter values which indicate whether the mobile radio communication terminal is permanently stationary or not permanently stationary, wherein the at least one step comprises: periodically interrupting an inactive state of the mobile radio communication terminal in order to check whether signals directed at the mobile radio communication terminal are being received from an external base station, wherein the check is carried out at intervals of a cycle duration which is assigned individually to the mobile radio communication terminal and which depends on the device parameter value which indicates whether the mobile radio communication terminal is permanently stationary or not permanently stationary, wherein the cycle duration depends additionally on at least one current value of a state parameter which indicates a current state of the mobile radio communication terminal, wherein the cycle duration is selected from a number of more than two cycle duration values according to a combination of the device parameter value and the current value of the state parameter, and the device parameter and the state parameter are subject to prioritization of such a kind that the one of the two parameters whose detected current value is assigned a longer cycle duration is weighted more heavily relative to other parameters when the cycle duration is being assigned.
