Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an enhanced interface for communication to a wireless mobile telephone set. SOLUTION: This invention relates to a system and a method to provide information to a user of a mobile station. Each mobile station(MS) is provided with a prior recording announcement generator. A mobile switch center(MSC) transmits a command to request generation of announcement, selected and recorded in advance for each mobile station(MS), to each mobile station(MS) through a control channel. Each announcement generator generates the announcement and reproduces it for an earphone receiver of each mobile station(MS). As the feature of this invention, each mobile station(MS) can reproduce the announcement without the need for setting a voice channel with the mobile switch center(MSC).

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide such a charging system that its charge is increased in the peak time of the number of calls and is reduced in the off-peak time of the number of calls. SOLUTION: A method for charging a call in a cellular mobile communication system includes a step for holding the records of the utilizing states of a channel in the region including one or more cells or sectors; a step for reporting to the mobile stations present in a region that a call is made possible at a lower charge than usual ones, when the low occupation factor of a radio channel is sensed in the region; and a step for recording the fact that the charge of the call is made low, in the charge record relative to the call. In this case, the charge record includes the information whereby a charge processor can make its charge low to the call. The method can be used in a reverse mode. That is, the subscriber to the call plan of a low cost is informed of the time when the charge rate of a call is increased, by the reason that the capacity of a usable radio channel has been decreased.

Abstract: In an embodiment for establishing a cellular mobile call, if no radio traffic (voice or data) channels are available for a calling or called mobile station (MS), then a test is made to determine the expected wait time before a channel becomes available. If the expected wait time is less than a first threshold, then the call or the call request is queued. If a channel for an incoming call to an MS does not become available before a second time threshold, then the caller is notified by an announcement that the call has been queued and is expected to be established in a short time. If the caller of an incoming call to the MS does not disconnect, then the MSC waits for an available channel and establishes a connection to the MS over that available channel. For an outgoing call from an MS, a control message is sent to the MS to trigger an indication of the queued status to the user. The indication may be one or more tones, a data display, or the playing of a pre-recorded announcement. Advantageously, the number of calls blocked because of unavailable traffic channels is reduced. Advantageously, the same arrangement can be used to reduce blocking of calls because of unavailability of trunks for a link of a call connection in a PSTN.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method for providing information to a user of a mobile station. The Mobile Station (MS) is equipped with a pre- recorded announce-ment generator. A Mobile Switching Center (MSC) sends a command to an MS over a control channel requesting the MS to generate a selected pre-recorded announcement. The announcement generator generates the announcement, and plays it into the earphone receiver of the MS. Advantageously, the MS can play an announcement without requiring a voice channel to the MSC. Figure 2 101 Recognize Need to Send Announcement Request to MS 103 Is Called MS Equipped With Pre-Recorded Announcement Feature? 104 Treat Call as in Prior Art 105 Send Selected Pre-Recorded Announcement Request Message to MS 107 Does Message Include Data? 109 Insert Data Into Pre-Recorded Announcement 111 MS Plays Pre-Recorded Announcement 121 Display And/Or Tone Message Adequate? 123 Send Display And/Or Tone Message 125 Set-Up Voice Band Connection 127 Play Announcement Over Voice Band Connection
