A communication control apparatus for controlling a radio communications system, capable of detecting unauthorized clone terminals and protecting the system from the fraudulent use of telecommunication services. The radio communications system allows a plurality of subscriber terminals to communicate with each other, via radio base stations under the control of the proposed communication control apparatus. To detect unauthorized subscriber terminals, the apparatus comprises a response request signal transmission unit and a judgement unit. On predetermined conditions, the response request signal transmission unit transmits a response request signal containing an identification code of a specific subscriber terminal, by using a radio link via one of the base stations which covers an area where the specific subscriber terminal is based. Each subscriber terminal is configured to respond to the response request signal when the received identification code coincides with its own identification code. If a plurality of response signals have been received in reply to the response request signal, the judgement unit recognizes the presence of an unauthorized subscriber terminal (clone terminal) having the same identification code as that of the specific subscriber terminal.
A communication control apparatus, disposed in a radio communications system where a plurality of subscriber terminals communicate with each via radio base stations, for managing locations of the subscriber terminals and controlling incoming and outgoing calls to/from the subscriber terminals, comprising:
A radio communications system which allows a plurality of subscriber terminals to communicate with each other via radio base stations by employing a communication controller coupled to the radio base stations for managing locations of the subscriber terminals and controlling incoming and outgoing calls to/from the subscriber terminals, the radio communications system comprising:
