Radio telephone system

For use in a mobile radio telephone network including radio telephone sets movable in an area divided into a predetermined number of zones, a communication control system includes a searching arrangement (25, 33) for searching one (15') of radio communication devices of the network as a searched communication device that is assigned to a present one of the zones into which a specific one (11') of the radio telephone sets has moved from a previous one of the zones. For operation of the searching arrangement, a communicating arrangement (22, 25, 32) of the system sends a call signal to a specific one of the radio communication devices that is assigned to the previous zone to transmit the call signal to the specific telephone set and receives a response signal transmitted from the specific telephone set if the specific telephone set were in the previous zone. For the communicating arrangement, a selecting arrangement (21, 25, 31) selects the specific communication device with reference to a memory (27) for memorizing, in correspondence to the radio telephone sets, location information indicative of the radio communication devices assigned to the zones in which the radio telephone sets are present at a time. The searching arrangement preferably updates the memory to make the information indicate the searched communication device instead of the specific communication device.

In a wide area cordless telephone system, a wide service area is divided into a plurality of local service areas identified respectively by unique codes. Each local area has home position portable cordless telephones to which telephone numbers are permanently assigned and can accommodate roaming non-home position telephones belonging to other local areas. Each telephone receives a pre-registration polling signal from one of access units located at key points and returns a pre-registration response signal if a unique code contained in the received polling signal mismatches a stored area code. A controller in each local area assigns a reserved telephone number, if available, to a roaming telephone in response to such a response signal and registers this cordless telephone in memory. The controller then transmits an acknowledgement signal indicating the completion of a registration. The registered telephone responds to it by returning a post-registration signal which is monitored by the controller. The registration of this telephone is cancelled if the controller fails to receive the post-registration signal for a prescribed time interval.
