The spread spectrum scheme in the present invention is a scheme wherein, by means of a code division multiplexing access (CDMA) mode, transmission data are spectrum spread, subjected to multiplexing processing, and transmitted as radio signals. Known transmitters and receivers in spread spectrum type portable telephone apparatuses are made so that, even when in the wait state for monitoring a pager channel, circuits are always used which have the same broad bands and high speeds as the communications channels. An example of such a conventional spread spectrum portable telephone apparatus is diagrammed in FIGS. 3 and 4.

The operation of the base station transmitter unit of a conventional spread spectrum portable telephone apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. 3. First of all, in the base station transmitter unit 201, the transmission data on the various lines, i.e., 1, 2, . . . , n, that are sent through the communications channel are assembled by the frame assembler circuit 202 into a transmission frame format to which has been attached various kinds of control information, etc., thereafter multiplied in the multiplier circuit 204 with a spread code generated by the spread code generator circuit 203 and spread into a broad band signal.
Furthermore, the spread transmission data are put together into one structure by the adder circuit 205, the output of which is waveform shaped by the band limiting filter 206, and converted into an analog signal by the DA converter circuit 207. The transmission data that have been converted to an analog signal are converted (modulated), in the mixer 208, to a modulated signal having the frequency of the carrier wave that is output from the carrier wave generator circuit 209. [This signal] is then amplified by the power amplifier circuit 210 and radio transmitted from the transmission antenna 211.
Furthermore, the paging information that is sent by the paging channel for the purpose of calling a mobile unit, after being programmed into a transmission frame format, with various control information, etc., attached thereto in the frame assembler circuit 202, is multiplied by a spread code having the same speed as the communications channel and generated by the spread code generator circuit 203, for paging channel use, in the multiplier 204.
The spread paging channel signal is band limited by the band limiting filter 206 that has the same band as the communications channel, converted to an analog signal by the DA converter circuit that is the same as [for] the communications channel, converted (modulated) by the mixer to a modulated signal having the same carrier wave frequency as [for] the communica-tions channel that is output from the carrier wave generator circuit 209, amplified by the power amplifier circuit 210 that is common with the communications channel, and radio transmitted from the transmission antenna 211.

And 216 is a detection circuit that detects and demodulates the reception data using a signal having the station generated frequency.
Moreover, 215 is a station generator circuit that generates a signal having the station generated frequency. 217 is an AD converter circuit that converts the detected analog signal to a digital signal. 218 is a reception filter that waveform shapes the digital signal received. 219 is a correlator that despreads (correlates) the waveform shaped digital signal using a spread code. 220 is a spread code generator circuit that generates a spread code (specific to each system) that is apportioned to each apparatus. 221 is a frame resolving circuit that extracts reception data from the frame format. And 222 is a controlling means for controlling the spread code generator circuit 220.
Next the operation of the mobile unit receiver of a conventional spread spectrum portable telephone apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. 4. In the mobile unit receiver 212, the incoming call status is monitored so that the paging channel is received while waiting, and the communications channel is received during communications. First, the operation while waiting will be described. The paging channel signal that is captured by the reception antenna 213 is amplified by the low noise amplifier 214, detected and demodulated, in the detector circuit 216, by means of a signal having the station generated frequency that is output from the station generator circuit 215, and converted into a base band signal.
The paging channel signal, after being converted to a base band signal, is converted to a digital signal through the AD converter circuit 217 that is the same as [for] the communications channel, and is waveform shaped by the reception filter 218 that is the same as [for] the communications channel. The waveform shaped paging channel signal is despread (correlated) in the correlator 219 using the spread code, and the paging information is extracted through the frame resolving circuit 221.
The operation of a call in a case where, during paging channel reception, a call to said mobile unit has been detected will be described next. The circuits of the mobile unit receiver 212 that are used for receiving the communications channel signal are the same circuits as are used for receiving paging channel signals. More specifically, the received communications channel information is received and processed through the same circuits and over the same paths as is the paging channel signal, and the received data are extracted by the frame resolving circuit 221. Accordingly, any further detailed description hereof is omitted inasmuch as it is the same as the description given above.

In the following, the configuration of the mobile unit receiver of the spread spectrum portable telephone apparatus in one configuration of an embodiment of the present invention with is described with reference to FIG. 2. In the mobile unit receiver 120 diagrammed in FIG. 2, 121 is a reception antenna that receives radio signals transmitted from the base station transmitter 101. 122 is a low noise amplifier circuit that amplifies the radio signal (either received data or paging channel signal) received. 123 is a detector circuit that detects and demodulates the received signals, using the signal of the station generated frequency. And 124 is a station generator circuit that generates signals at the station generated frequency.
Moreover, 125, is a high speed AD converter circuit that converts the detected analog reception data to a digital signal. 126 is a broadband reception filter that waveform shapes the reception data that have been converted to the digital signal. 127 is a correlator that, by multiplying the spread code and the waveform shaped reception data and integrating them, despreads and demodulates [said data or signal]. 128 is a spread code generator circuit that generates (high speed) spread signals (specific to each mobile unit) that are allotted to each mobile unit. 129 is a frame resolving circuit that extracts reception data or paging information from the frame format.

Described next is the operation of the mobile unit receiver of the spread spectrum portable telephone apparatus configured as set forth above with reference to FIG. 2. In the mobile unit receiver 120, while waiting for a reception, the call state is monitored so that the paging channel can be received, and the communications channel is received when communications begin. The operation while waiting will be described next. A paging channel signal that is captured by the reception antenna 121 is amplified by the low noise amplifier 122, and, in the detection circuit 123, detected and demodulated, by means of the controls of the controlling means 134, using the signals at the station generated frequency output from the station generator circuit 124 and is then converted to a baseband paging signal.
The paging channel signal that is converted to the baseband signal passes through the AD converter circuit 130 that operates at a lower speed than is us ed on the communications channel and is converted to digital paging information, whereupon it is band limited by a reception filter 131 that operates at a lower speed and has a narrower band than are used on the communications channel and is waveform shaped. The waveform shaped paging information, in the correlator 132, and with the use of the low speed spread code output by the spread code generator circuit 133 according to the control of the controlling means 134, is despread (correlated) and thereby decoded, whereafter it passes through the frame resolving circuit 129, and the paging information is extracted.
It is possible to operate the AD converter circuit 130, reception filter 131, correlator 132, and spread code generator circuit 133, that are used when receiving paging channel signals, at a lower speed than that which is used when receiving the communications channel. Also, while waiting, the power is cut off to the AD converter circuit 125, reception filter 126, correlator 127, and spread code generator circuit 128 that are for receiving the communications channel. The on and off control of the power to these units is performed by the controlling means 134.
When a call to the mobile unit is detected while receiving the paging channel, the power is turned on to the AD converter circuit 125, the reception filter 126, the correlator 127, and the spread code generator circuit 128 that are for receiving the communications channel, and reception of the communications channel is started, effecting the call state. The following is the description of the operation during a call, after the power has been turned on. The communications channel signal that is captured by the reception antenna 121 is amplified by the low noise amplifier 122, detected and demodulated in the detector circuit 123 using the signals having the station generated frequency output by the station generator circuit 124 according to the control of the controlling means 134 and converted to a baseband signal.
When the communications channel has been received, unlike when the aforesaid paging channel is being received, the communications channel analog signal that has been converted to a baseband signal in the detector circuit 123 is converted to digital reception data by the AD converter circuit 125 and waveform shaped by the reception filter 126. The waveform shaped communications channel reception data are, in the correlator 127, despread (correlated) using the spread code output by the spread code generator circuit 128 according to the control of the controlling means 134, and the reception data are extracted through the frame resolving circuit 129.
As has been set forth in the foregoing, when a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention is employed, by providing a paging channel that has a narrower band than the communications channel, the operating speed of the circuit elements that operate while waiting in the mobile unit receiver can be made low, by which means it becomes possible to decrease the power consumption while waiting, so that wait times can be obtained that are longer than [those of] a conventional spread spectrum portable telephone apparatus.
Furthermore, as described in the foregoing, in the base station transmitter, a carrier wave generator circuit for the communications channel and a carrier wave generator circuit for the paging channel are provided separately, and made so that transmissions are made using different carrier wave frequencies. It may be made, however, so that the same carrier wave generator circuit is used for both the communications channel and the paging channel, so that the same carrier wave frequency is used.
By giving the spread spectrum portable telephone apparatus in the present invention a configuration such as is described in the foregoing, and, more particularly, by providing an AD converter circuit, reception filter, correlator, and spread code generator circuit for receiving the paging channel that are slower and that have a narrower band than that which is used when receiving the communications channel, the power may be turned off to the said circuits for the communications channel while waiting for a reception, so that there is little battery depletion during long periods of waiting, and so that long wait times can be realized.
