Patent ID: 7379476

Claim:
A mobile radio communication method in a first mobile radio communication system employing a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) method, the first mobile radio communication system including a transmitter configured to transmit in a first transmission period a specified number of a plurality of first frames each having a predetermined number of slots and a first frame length (L 1 ), and to successively transmit the plurality of first frames in a unit of the first transmission period in a normal mode, and a receiver configured to receive the plurality of first frames transmitted by the transmitter, the mobile radio communication method comprising: transmitting by the transmitter to the receiver the plurality of first frames in a compressed mode in which part of plurality of first frames are compressed and disposed fixedly in the first transmission period, plural non-transmission periods of ½ or less of the first frame length being generated in the first transmission period in the compressed mode, and monitoring, in each of the non-transmission periods, by the receiver a frequency component of a control data transmission channel used in a second mobile radio communication system which is different from the first mobile radio communication system, the control data transmission channel having a second transmission period including a specified number of second frames having a second frame length (L 2 ), wherein the second transmission period is not an integer multiple of the first transmission period, and an interval, expressed in terms of slots, between corresponding portions in non-transmission periods corresponds to an odd number times the second frame length (L 2 ) divided by a predetermined even number.
