To address the problem of aging and drift of a local oscillator in a mobile telephone the frequency Fi of the local oscillator is shifted upwards so that base station logging-on FCH signals are measured perfectly whether said drift is upwards or downwards. It is shown that the actual drift resulting from the initial shift and drift with time can be measured during logging on. It is shown that conforming to the standard is facilitated without having to provide an oscillator whose frequency stability with time is guaranteed.

Telephone with a demodulator circuit with an improved local oscillator

Problems of noise emission during transmission in successive time slots (A-B) in mobile telephony are solved by causing the transmitted power to change in a monotonic manner from a previous value to a new value. It is shown that this increases the transmission bit rate.

Method of transmitting in successive time slots

To save energy and to increase the standby time and talk time of a mobile telephone, the activity of the mobile telephone is segmented, even during standby periods, and activation is allowed to occur only if the reception quality of signaling surrounding the standby condition is sufficient. When the mobile telephone is on standby, given the redundancy of the activation signaling, only some of the signals are listened to in order to decide whether it is necessary to listen to the others and to activate the mobile telephone. When the mobile telephone is communicating and the other party is silent, the energy consumed in receiving and above all in decoding the received signals is reduced by eliminating demodulated signals of too poor quality.
