Abstract
A mobile station has an apparatus by means of which the power consumption of the mobile station is controlled. The apparatus has a monitoring unit which is connected to the at least two radio systems in the mobile station. During activity pauses in the mobile station, whose time duration and whose start and end times are monitored by the monitoring unit, radio system units which are not required, and possibly further units in the mobile station, are deactivated or are switched to a state with reduced power consumption.
