Abstract
When a request is generated for shift from continuous to intermittent reception, the mobile-station transmitter/receiver calculates a start timing of a slot allocated thereto (Tstart), compares it with a concurrent time when the request has been generated (Tnow), and when it is not possible to have a time of preparation required for starting a reception in the slot by the start timing of a nearest slot (Tstart), the mobile-station maintains the continuous reception until the slot ends (Tend).
