Abstract:
An incoming call control method for a mobile communication device comprising the steps of:(a) selecting a control channel by scanning a plurality of control channels;(b) setting the mobile communication device to a standby state awaiting an incoming call signal to be transmitted from a base station over the selected control channel;(c) performing an incoming call response procedure for transmitting an incoming response signal to respond to an incoming call signal if the incoming call signal is received from the base station in the standby state;(d) establishing a communication channel with the base station so that the mobile communication device is in a communicating state if the incoming call response procedure to the incoming call signal from the base station succeeds; and(e) setting the mobile communication device to the standby state awaiting an incoming call signal to be transmitted from the base station over the selected control channel without scanning the channels if the incoming call response procedure to the incoming call signal from the base station fails.
