Abstract
A radio system including a plurality of fixed radio stations positioned apart from each other within an area covered by the radio system, and at least one mobile radio station signalling with one of the fixed radio stations at a time. The system has at least one frequency channel serving as a control channel, a plurality of fixed radio stations sharing the control channel in the time domain for transmitting control signals. In order to reduce the power consumption of the mobile radio station, a message is transmitted at the end of the transmission period of each fixed radio station to the at least one mobile radio station, and in response to the message, the mobile radio station switches off its unnecessary power-consuming portions, such as a radio receiver, during the transmission break of the respective fixed radio station for a turn-off period indicated by the extinction message.
