Further, an apparatus for transmitting downlink data as a result of the determination by the control station to the mobile station, transmitting uplink data such as a call connection request from the mobile station to the control station, and relaying data between the control station and the mobile station. It is. Reference numeral 4 denotes a mobile station which transmits a predetermined mobile station number to the base station when the radio wave from the base stations 2 and 3 can be supplemented, and is registered in the control station 1 so that the mobile station is under the control of the control station 1. In other words, it is possible to make a call with a mobile station in the same base station, an area in another base station, a mobile station under the control of another control station, and a telephone connected to a telephone exchange.
Reference numeral 5 denotes a mobile station having the same functions as the mobile station 4 and further incorporating software for a system for performing dynamic management, and an IC capable of transmitting and receiving a dial tone as data transmission in a voice band.

In this embodiment, a dial tone is used as a data transmission / reception signal in a voice band. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a signal capable of transmitting / receiving data using a voice band is used. Is fine. Reference numerals 6 and 7 denote telephone exchanges which are connected to the control station 1 and transmit downlink data as a result determined by the control station 1 to the telephone set, and transmit uplink data of a call connection request from the telephone set to the control station 1 to control the telephone exchange. A device that relays data between a station and a telephone. Further, by connecting the telephone exchanges in parallel, a telephone can be installed at a remote place. 8, 9, 10 are telephones,
Calls can be made between specific mobile stations and telephones.
A controller 11 is a personal computer connected to the telephone 8 and has a function of automatically answering a call to the telephone 8, an analysis of dial tone data sent from the mobile station 5 after the establishment of a communication line, and a processing of information. This is a device having a function of displaying. A communication system 12 has the same configuration, the same functions, and the same performance as those of the above-described devices 1 to 10. Mobile stations and telephones belonging to 1 to 10 can talk with each other, and by increasing the number of combinations of the system 12, it becomes possible to develop a talking system in a wide area.

Next, the operation of the system until the mobile station is registered with the control station will be described. Control station 1, base station 2,
While the telephone exchange 6 is operating normally, the mobile station 4
Turn on the power. The mobile station immediately shifts to the supplementary operation of the radio wave transmitted from the base station at a fixed period. Assuming that the radio wave from the base station 2 is received most strongly, the mobile station 4 synchronizes with the downlink signal of the base station 2 and transmits information that "the own station is receiving the radio wave of the base station 2" to the base station 2. Send to Upon receiving this, the base station 2 asks the control station 1 for an instruction. If the control station 1 obtains the consent, the base station 2 returns a response signal from the base station 2 to the mobile station. This means that the station 1 has registered in the zone managed by the station. A mobile station that has not completed this series of operations cannot be determined by the control station,
Even if there is a call from another mobile station or telephone, it will not be called. Next, a description will be given of a case where the mobile station 4 calls the telephone 9 if the operation up to a call is made. The mobile station 4 inputs the dial number of the telephone 9 and performs transmission. The base station 2 passes this to the control station 1. When the control station 1 determines that the mobile station 4 is to be called for the telephone 9, it instructs the telephone exchange 6 to call the telephone 9. The telephone 9 is called by the telephone exchange 6, whereby the communication line is determined. A ringback tone indicating that the other party is being called is transmitted to the mobile station 4 via the controller 1 and the base station 2 until the telephone 9 answers. When the telephone 9 answers, a call between the mobile station 4 and the telephone 9 becomes possible.

Next, a system for managing the dynamics of the mobile station 5 using the controller 11 will be described. In the mobile station 5, the calling number of the telephone 8 is registered in an internal memory in advance. First, operations from turning on the power of the mobile station 5 to registration with the control station 1 are performed in the same manner as described above according to the existing operation system. Thereafter, the mobile station 5 automatically calls the telephone 8 under the control of a dedicated software program. The calling procedure is the same as described above. Here, the controller 11 connected to the telephone 8 automatically responds on behalf of the telephone 8 and transmits dial tone data to notify the called mobile station 5 of the response. The mobile station 5 analyzes this data, recognizes that a response from the controller 11 has been obtained, and determines which control station the mobile station 5 has registered with, and the current state of the mobile station. Is transmitted as dial tone data. The controller 11 analyzes the data, and if the data is normally received, transmits the data of the completion of the reception as dial tone data and shifts to a call termination operation. At the same time, when the mobile station 5 completes the reception of the dial tone data, it shifts to the call termination operation. The call termination operation is also performed according to the procedure of the existing operation system. Furthermore, the controller 11 displays the mobile station currently registered with the base station managed by which control station and in what state from the received data on the screen in an easy-to-understand manner.

As another example, the operation when the mobile station 5 moves from the zone managed by the control station 1 to the zone managed by the control station of the system 12 will be described. When the mobile station 5 moves and receives a radio wave in a zone managed by the control station of the system 12, the operation of registering the system 12 with the control station is performed in the same manner as the operation described above. Next, the telephone 8 is automatically called, and data is transmitted and received by dial tone. Since the place where the base station is installed is fixed, the controller 11 compares the stored data received so far with the latest data to determine the route along which the mobile station 5 has moved, and Time, etc. can be specified.
