Mobile communications apparatus and intermittent receiving control method

Abstract

A mobile communications apparatus includes a receiving processor for intermittently receiving a radio signal, and for extracting from the radio signal location information about a reference point in a visited cell; a distance calculator for obtaining a distance from the mobile communications apparatus to the reference point; a distance comparator for comparing two different distances obtained by the distance calculator; and an intermittent ratio controller for controlling an intermittent ratio of the receiving processor in response to an output of the distance comparator. This makes it possible for the mobile communications apparatus to control the intermittent ratio on the basis of the moving direction relative to the cell.
