Abstract:
A method of intermittent reception of paging signals in a mobile communication system formed by mobile stations which are grouped into a plurality of groups and base stations, comprising the steps of:transmitting a frame from each base station repeatedly, said frame including:at least one regular reception section having a plurality of paging indication regions corresponding to said plurality of groups, in which a paging presence information configured to indicate a presence of a paging with respect to a mobile station of a group is set in a paging indication region corresponding to said group when a paging with respect to a mobile station of said group occurs;a mobile station alerting section having a plurality of identification information setting regions corresponding to said plurality of paging indication regions, in which an identification information of a mobile station called by a paging indicated by a paging indication region is set in an identification information setting region corresponding to said paging indication region; anda plurality of pilot signals to be used for estimating a propagation function of a propagation path which are periodically inserted into said frame, wherein the paging indication region for one group and the identification information setting region for another group are provided between each two consecutive pilot signals; andreceiving said frame at each mobile station by operating a receiver circuit of said each mobile station intermittently.
